Well, I felt like whoever they are, they know who they are so it's not really a secret? It's only a clue for Sereniel to figure out that she's going to be implicated being associated with her Uncle Veles and her husband and the only one who can help her and have the same enemies is the ML Lexion?? I read the novel and it's not a big deal, everyone knew they're being targetted.

what bother me the most is.. did she not dispose / burn the paper that the duke gave her?? what if ppl found that paper???
