Chapter 9 - Irene (4)

Dominic Risern, the heir to the Risern Marquess, was the second son of the Risern Family. Originally not destined to be the heir, an incident a year ago reshuffled the cards, making him the legal successor. However, due to his unsavory behavior that rubbed many people the wrong way, especially those from other noble families, opposition arose against him inheriting the Marquessate. Despite this, Dominic still maintained enough status to assemble his own group of hangers-on. Well, they were essentially drawn to him for his wealth and social standing.

However, there was something fishy about Dominic, and I had a hunch. When I tasked Sandra with digging into the Black Market, she happened to come across Dominic. She also mentioned that Dominic once approached her former bandit crew for something, though she wasn't around for that particular job, so her knowledge on the matter wasn't too solid.
