Yes countess, over to you.

The schemer heard a ruler was included.

(9 letters)

The schemer - ?

heard - sounds like

a ruler - shah

was included - let in

The schemer - shah let in sounds like Charlatan

Charlatan

Again, sorry about the wrong number of letters.

Your sorry has been tendered and is acceptable currency. In fact, the ₷ori (as it’s officially known) is the most stable and high-value currency in the world. Mere paper and coin and digital money are so low-value in comparison that conversion tables say a sorry cannot be recompensed or purchased.

Right… let me think up a cryptic clue…

No... different sort of dust.

"Immersed in" is not an indicator, but "embracing" is. "Loose" - look for its charade.
