Of course, it could be the characters in your story are just as confused as we are and/or disagree about what the proper procedure should be

OK, you should do some research on how DNA tests are handled, as I may be wrong here, and it may vary from country to country, (particularly France, where you are presumed guilty,) however, if one follows logic, what I know of HIPPA regulations and what they do with fingerprints in the USA, then DNA results do not become public record unless they prove guilt. If they prove innocence then they are thrown away and not publicly disclosed. So how would it be found out that she was this titled person unless you have her being found guilty of murder?

Sorry it took so long to respond. I have recently reentered the work force, as opposed to academia, so I have less time to spend online.

To answer your very valid points. So short answer, Urban Fantasy. Long answer, I am already planning on different laws, views, cultural morals, bigotry and politics. Plus we are talking about an entitled, rich Machiavellian minded clan here who may or may not be human and or may not posses supernatural powers.
