Kach-Mir, the Indian Nabjar of Poenjap and his daughter Jasmina are visiting the Earl and Countess de Whetik van Veel. An anarchist movement was already attempting to carry out an attack to kill the Nabjar and thus obscure relations between Belgium and India. The Nabjar and his daughter are protected by Lieutenant Dramaix, but that does not seem sufficient and Mangin asks Robert and Bertrand, under the guise of Italian diplomats, to protect the Nabjar...
