Chapter 26
"They’ve been focusing on the noble families you warned us about to observe recent movements in the North."
Ferio glanced over the documents he’d been handed as he listened to Lupe’s report.
“There hasn’t been any major activity so far. It seems they’re still holding back out of fear after Your Grace’s warning. That’s why we’ve shifted focus to the movements of the servants hired by these families.”
“Hm. A few worthwhile findings here.”
Ferio’s eyes caught several important details.
Lupe nodded and elaborated on them.
“Servants have been sent to a certain estate from two houses—the Mereoqa Count family and the Gliss Baron family. The Count’s house always sends the same person, while the Baron’s house sends someone different each time. But the number of dispatches and the time of day they occur are almost identical.”
It was suspicious enough to warrant concern.
“...Let’s write off those two families for now.”
Ferio casually decided the future of both houses on the spot.
“By the way, the Mereoqa family...”
The name alone made his brows crease deeply.
