Vol V Chapter 94

"What?!" In a hidden basement, a gloomy-looking young man sprang to his feet with eyes so largely widened that they were bulging out. He could not hold himself back and exclaimed, "Repeat what you have just said!"

Standing before him, there was a middle-aged man in a gray robe. Similar to the young man, he wore a gloomy look on his face. With an expressionless countenance and a monotonous voice, he replied, "Earl Good Horse declared that something from the capital was found on the dead assassins' bodies. As such, he believed that the assassins were sent by a Marquis and has requested the marquises to do some explaining."

The young man was dumbfounded. After a while, in a somewhat doubtful tone, he asked, "Do you have anything on you that bears the characteristics of the capital of the Commonwealth of Gold Coins?"

"Of course not. It's totally impossible to tell where the things we carry with us are from."

"Then, why did he say so?"

"I have no idea."
