Episode 47.11 (1/2)
”Traitor?”
”Yes. An employee of Mace Firm overheard Ceras calling Muzz that. However, there is also a possibility of Ceras using that word to refer to Muzz's wife instead.”
”How are they traitor?”
”We have no idea. But it appears that Muzz's wife was once in a relationship with Ceras before she married Muzz.”
”I see.”
The spy Nirfut dispatched to Chada was highly skilled, they liberally used up the fund Lecan provided and managed to gain highly dense intel in a short amount of time.
When Cassandra of Boldrin was driven out of her family, many spies under Boldrin left. Nirfut who had started working under Chaney took three skilled spies among those as his subordinates, one of which he dispatched to Chada.
”And then things connect with the results of interrogations. Zeahad got the caravan's schedule, and gave it to Ceras for a huge sum before making himself scarce.”
”Yes. Then during his hiding, he colluded with Keibun to take away some of the stolen goods with them.”
”Then they changed their names and faces before settling in at Rotor.”
”Yes.”
”Quite a close town to pick as their hideaway.”
”Yes. Apparently they were waiting for a chance to blackmail Ceras for money.”
”Hmph. So they got some dirt on Ceras huh. Right, those two said Ceras harbors an ambition in their interrogation, what exactly is this ambition anyway?”
”We could not get a clear answer regarding that from the interrogation. We're currently investigating the matter. Please give us a bit more time.”
”Where's the stolen goods at.”
”We believe they're with Ceras. Although we are unsure if they're still at Chada or if they've been brought to someplace else.”
”What's Ceras planning to do with those goods.”
”I believe that is the central point in this incident.”
”Also don't get why'd the townlord's soldiers take part in the raid. They're his citizens. The heck he's doing slaughtering 'em. Losing an influential company would be quite a blow for the town too.”
”It appears that Chada townlord is not aware of this incident.”
”What?”
”We cannot say for sure at this point yet. Also.”

”Hm?”
”There is no truth in Ceras asking Chada Townlord for a Vengeance Permit.”
”Knew it. Figured that's the case. But I still don't get it”
”What don't you get, Lecan-sama?”
”Ceras believed either Muzz, a former co-worker, or Muzz's wife betrayed him. So far so good.”
”Yes.”
”He loathed Muzz to the point of raiding a caravan, butchering all the personnel and took away all the goods without leaving anything behind. He must have been seeking money for some sort of goal. So I can see why he initiated the raid.”
”Yes.”
