That stark realization suddenly came to him. No matter what, Lecia’s safety was his top priority. But just saving her wouldn’t be enough to end things once and for all. He had to come up with a way to settle everything before he acted. Should he rescue Lecia and leave it at that? Or should he expose the marquess for the corrupt official he was? Deep down, Arcus knew that even that wouldn’t be enough.

“Master Arcus?”

It was important to figure out the root of the problem. The ledger aside, it shouldn’t be a problem for a powerful man like Gaston to destroy the other evidence which pointed toward his misdealings. The official who gathered the evidence and passed it on to Lecia was likely someone from the Surveillance Office. But in that case, he should have been aware of how easily Gaston could destroy them, so why did he gather these documents in the first place?

Making them public called for careful planning if it was to have any meaningful effect on such a prominent social figure. The evidence needed to be absolutely watertight for any accusation to have a chance of sticking. Arcus was adamant that these documents were not enough for that, even combined with the ledger.

The other issue was why the official acted when he did, despite the lack of evidence. If he held out for longer, he might have gotten his hands on something more concrete, but by stealing the documents when he did, he threw that opportunity away. Perhaps he was just incompetent?

Not only that, but he identified Lecia as Joshua Raytheft’s daughter and handed the bag over to her, knowing who she was. Arcus had no idea where to start with this question, and all these unknowns and suspicious individuals were giving him the creeps. It was like they were crawling around every corner, watching and waiting.

Maybe it was just his imagination, or maybe there was something more going on that his instincts were trying to warn him about. All he knew was that he didn’t know.

“Noah. There’s something else I want you to look into, if that’s all right.”

“My, you do know how to keep a man busy, don’t you?”

“Not as much as Craib, I’m guessing.”

“No, perhaps not. Yet.” Noah sighed. This wasn’t the first time he’d voiced such a complaint.

Despite his grumblings, however, he never failed to do what Arcus asked of him.
