He knows of Rubilykskoye, he knows of the Duchess. He did not kill that peasant boy for sport. But it's always more interesting-- nevermind tactically viable-- not to show one's hand.

Maybe a child. Maybe nothing at all. Who really cares?
"I am more interested in the life of an exiled queen who chooses to live in a hovel." And, you know, getting some trousers, but he's not about to flinch first.
