During the search of Princess Sobieski’s quarters, the handmaiden Dahlia was found naked in the princess's bed.
Taken to the courthouse for questioning alongside Stella Sobieski, Demina denied any complicity with her mistress.
Escorted to the interrogation chamber and subjected to the rack, she admitted to a sapphic relationship with Sobieski but denied any knowledge of her alchemical practices.
Accused of lesbianism, Demina was detained in the palace cells pending her appearance before the judges.
