CSWH Chapter 101: The Prie 8
The Baskar Ducal House
……their doion of Rinar Ducal House and the Crow Ducal House
The head of the house was Dennis Baskar
He had been divorced from his wife for over ten years, and they had one son between the two of them
”As I have already reported, the true state of affairs of Duke Baskar's House is in extre their hands with the slave trade through the cajolery of thethose from within the Baskar Ducal House's territory, but lately they have been involved in abductions all across the country……well, those under the protection of the five Archduke Houses can't be investigated readily, so they probably ar Ducal House, and thus they were dragged into the diehard faction……as proof of that, only the Sligar Ducal House has, for so slaves procured from their territory”
”……about that Have neither Duke Grindal nor Duke Ferring not realized that people had been unnaturally disappearing from their own territories? From how they hen I met them today, neither of them seems to have realized it……”
”That is likely related to the capability of the merchants that the Baskar Ducal House has employed……if there are no relatives to make a ruckus, then it is unlikely for the matter to reach them”
”I see……well, if it's that, then it's possible”
”Yes We have been investigating possible reasons, but……in reality, without a proper answer, the investigation has been facing difficulties”
”Ho so far as to say that, they're quite capable……is there any additional information?”
”Actually, that moneylender hid it quite skillfully……but there is a possibility that they have connections to Duke Sligar behind the scenes”
Hearing Alf's words, I involuntarily raised hed
”Hahaha……in other words, it's like that Duke Sligar is the one pulling the strings behind everything If it's like that, of course they'd notice what the Baskar Ducal House was doing That being the case, then it's possible that the reason why they fell into such extrear”
”I thought you'd say that, and have investigated it”
”Hou……incidentally, what led to the discovery of their connection with Duke Sligar?”
”We thoroughly investigated that merchant……his real name is Derek He was born in the capital, and it seems that his father was also a , leaving behind a debt After that, they moved from place to place, and he started to work as an errand boy for an organization that was involved in underground trade, so to speak He distinguished himself there……and apparently around that tiar But, he was betrayed by a confidant in the organization and tragically lost his standing At that point he changed his name, and currently calls hi a business dealing in illegal medicines and the like in the capital, but……in recent years the business has expanded Based on his past experiences, there is plenty of possibility that Duke Sligar is the one behind the sudden expansion We will continue investigating this lead It is just that it has taken longer than expected to arrive there……so I deeply apologize for the belated report”
”No, it's fine Rather, you've investigated it well……how about the investigation regarding the financial affairs of the Baskar Ducal House?”
”To begin with, the Baskar Ducal House was never terribly prosperous, but……the wasteful habits of the son between Dennis Baskar and his ex-wife are definitely the root cause of this In the previous investigation we could not find any suspicious points, and thus we had stopped the investigation there, but……right noe are following the lead that it ar's handiwork There were no particular connections found between the ex-wife's house and Duke Sligar, so presently we are looking at their acquaintances from that time”
