"So, how is the Mada?" Merlin asked i down

"hello, nice to see you too" The elf spoke in a sarcastic tone, "It's always immediately to business with you"

"Oh well At least you're reliable" The elfanother sip of his alcohol, and after placing his glass back on the bar table he continued "There have been some developments with the Madame Hartlace case"

"What sort of develop all the testimonies from all the people you had saved, and we made sure that all their stories matched up" The elf explained, "Then we leaked the story to the public, and it spread far enough for the city guards on Madaht in a handful of victiate them further, but there were a couple of our spies and some neutral parties present, so they couldn't silence the kids"

"Kill her fro to shoot her with a bow?"

"That's the plan" Merlin nodded "Killing her with an arrow in front of a large group of people before disappearing"

"While that sounds interesting, I don't think shooting an arrow into a crowd of people is such a good idea" The elf shook his head "And in the case that your arrow does hit her, all that will do is cause panic"

"Her team will then work overtime to clear her naainst her" The elf continued, "It'll be better if she died in her office, away from the public's eye Oh, and I have this for you, it may come in handy"
