An Unsettling Name

Lucius was a little glad that Count Gabriel took his side and believed him wholeheartedly such that he reacted in this way towards the Black Rose Knights. 

Even though Lucius had told the Countess and Kiana that he had found a note in the assassin's body, that was actually far from the case.

If they had brought it up right now, the Black Rose Knights would want to see it for themselves and it would land Lucius in a bit of a tricky situation.

Naturally, Lucius could easily produce a fake note… but it was still difficult to have it be authenticated and compared to say actual handwriting belonging to Biroy.

Lucius would then need to scour the memories of Biroy again to produce a flawless forgery… and while entirely possible with his skills, it would again result in more effort than he would have wanted to expend.
