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.

"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."
