This news flash is brought to you by:  "Jacques Penne's"   "Is your tunic a little tattered?  Is that gown a little gone?  Don't worry, Jacques Penne' is having his semi annual clothing sale.  Why not give those old clothes to the servents and drape yourself in some new finery?  Jacques has been designing clothes for discriminating  Lords and Ladies for over 30 years.  Come in and check out the new selection of fabrics and styles from Paris.  Remember, clothes make the man and Jacques makes the clothes."
 
And now for the News:
Yesterday the residents of Bonwicke were shocked to discover that Lord Fun Shui, a trusted minister in the Court of Bonwicke and personal advisor to Baroness Wu, was stabbed to death in his chambers.  When he was as found, he had a knife protruding from his chest and in one hand he clutched in his piece blue cloth and in the other a piece of white. 
 
Tensions are running high right now in Bonwicke, and many people accusing Trelac of being involved in Lord Shui's death.  The fact that Lord Shui was a vocal critic of friendly relations with Trelac, as well as the incriminating blue and white cloth fragments,  have led many to suspect Trelac was involved in Lord Shui's death.
 
It's unfortunate and ironic that it wasn't that long ago that hostilities between Bonwicke and Trelac had died down.  The war machines of both Bonwicke and Trelac were in need of repair and people were beginning to suspect that a Lord Donald Keyes, ex-privateer and businessman from England, might actually be the one behind many of the problems in the western region.  The possibility that Lord Keyes was actually the one bankrolling many of the new businesses that had just located in the western region and were responsible for destoying local businesses,  as well as the accusations by a Won Flung Dung that Lord Keyes had hired him to illegally collect taxes within the region, had led the Trelac Guard to try to locate Lord Keyes and bring him to Trelac for questioning.  The Trelac Guard had just located Lord Keyes and he had agreed to accompany the Guard to Trelac for further questioning, when he inexplicably disappeared day before yesterday,
 and hasn't been seen since.  
 
We may never know for sure whether Lord Keyes was in anyway involved in Lord Shui's death, but for now Bonwicke is ready to lay the blame at Trelac's door and it looks like war may soon be declared.  
 
This may be the last news release submitted by this reporter, as he has been called up for active duty in the Trelac Guard.  See you at Gothic.
