When thinking of ideas to get Votya his commission back, thebest option is to try and uncover some dirt on Bellissimo. As he stays at thebathhouse by the horse marketin the south-west corner of Kuttenberg, players should head there andtalk to Beatrice, the madam. She will complain about Bellissimo and let Henry know thathis room might be a good place to look.

The instructions to find Bellissimo’s room are as follows:
Naturally, it isbest to do this at night when everyone is asleep. To skip the first two steps and gain access to the upstairs region,consider asking for the full package at the bathhouse, as Henry and one of the maids will go upstairs.

Steal Bellissimo’s alcohol from his room now to save yourself time later.
That is all that is required, so head back to Votya’s house in the morningwith the evidence.

Getting Bellissimo Back To His Workshop
Bellissimo may eventually get so drunk that hepasses out on the floor. In this case, carry himto his workshop, which has an objective marker. You will have to drop him before opening the doors.
