When Lucius spoke to Viscountess Blackshield, there was a well-practiced smile on his face and his tone was calm.
"Hmm…?" Viscountess Blackshield momentarily turned away from the stall where she was perusing the wares. "Do we need to go to the re-education center now, Young Lord Asher?"
Lucius shook his head and spoke in a low voice.
"Please keep yourself ready, Viscountess Blackshield. I have no evidence to give you yet, but there might be something wrong. I can feel it."
Viscount Blackshield's expression didn't shift at all and instead, she briefly nodded.
"I am ready for anything, Young Lord Asher. What is it that you have in mind?"
"I do not wish to cause any alarm or panic in this street, so if you are ready, please follow me to somewhere… more isolated," Lucius said.
