Vaan had already suspected Dorothy's group's involvement when he found Dahlia's hairpin, but Solana's words turned his suspicion into a certainty.
Still, the whole group wasn't involved in Dahlia's ambush; only a few were aware of it, including the two High Witches.
"We've also procured a pile of items from their personal storage spaces. There are mostly rank-three to rank-four magical plants and magic tools among them. Still, there's even a rank-five item," Astoria mentioned.
"High Witches possessing this much wealth isn't unheard of and is even truer for flourishing lords and merchants. However, I have never seen or heard of these two from the Kingdom of Verdant Woods before."
"On top of that, they aren't even the leaders of this merchant group; they are only subordinates of the witch called Dorothy Helion. So I'm afraid they didn't come to Sunpeak Town purely for trading," Astoria added.
