Chapter 118 The Death of the Innocent

"Can't a noblewoman commit a crime? The gentlemen at the Police Department seem to think that Lady Lassoya, who leads a debauched life, has somehow become entangled with a group of cultists who have recently drifted into our area. Detective, you know that cultists always seem to find companions for themselves."

Miss Beath took out a notebook and a fountain pen from her purse and began to take notes as she asked:

"It has been investigated at Riddlevitch Field that Detective Sparrow Hamilton died of a sudden illness. After his death, did you follow Lady Lassoya, how many times, and did she ever discover you?."

"Only once, and she didn't notice."

Shard answered honestly.

Miss Beath nodded, her eyes moving from the notebook to her fingers, as she glanced at her own ring and then asked:

"Have you noticed anything amiss about her?"

"No."

Shard spoke the truth again, the only oddity he had noticed was with the young man who possessed the Relic, the Transmutation Ring.
