10- Who killed Duke Michael?
♥Rupert Hentzau.
11- Why did Rupert ride away instead of fighting Rassendyll?
♥Because Fritz came with a gun and Rupert knew he couldn't fight both of them. A gun could kill from a distance. Fritz could kill Rupert from a distance before Rupert could kill Rassendyll with a sword.

♥ Sir Jacob was going to be the ambassador to Ruritania and there would be problems as Rassendyll looked like the King.
