Garius leaned forward, his sharp gaze locking onto Erinnete. "Erinnete."
She straightened immediately. "Yes, my lord?"
"About those two kids."
"Iria and Iziya, my lord?"
"Yes. Tell me about them. Are they spies?"
Erinnete shook her head. "No, my lord. I've already checked their backgrounds, and our investigation team has been gathering more information."
Her tone was precise and controlled. "According to Liana, those two were caught stealing meat when Young Master Javier was strolling through the marketplace with Liana and Gloria."
Garius's eyebrows raised slightly. "And?"
Erinnete exhaled softly. "Young Master Javier paid for the meat… and 'forced' them to work for him."
A brief silence followed. Hesbeirn let out a low chuckle. "That boy…"
Garius smirked, but his gaze remained cold as he gestured for Erinnete to continue. "What else?"
