Alaric could almost read how the man's mind was working. Lord Alaric Keenreaver, who the two organizations said was dead was alive.
This is trouble, as Alaric would turn over his plans.
Should he turn him over or admit he was indeed Lord Alaric? The Magistrate quickly processes all this. If he had him arrested, he might have been able to kill him easily and with the King dead and the Capital as it is. Who will question him? Even his father, Lord Keenreaver hadn't stepped here in years and everyone thought Alaric was dead anyway.
He could even have him thrown inside the dungeon and have the two organizations decide his fate but that would mean the Magistrate would owe them.
No, not that. He had to find a way to use this opportunity to reap even more benefits. What if he lets Alaric back and continues to cause a nuisance to the two organizations?
