He should know by now that she's more than capable. But to be fair, she did have quite a meltdown back there. She can't blame him if that has led him to make this decision.
"Give me at least until tonight. Please, let me do things my way until the party is over."
"Is something going to happen?" Ercilia asked, perplexed to see Drystan grave serious.

Her eyes widen at that.
Ercilia isn't entirely aware of the full progress of the case. What she knows is that he's doing everything he can to help solve it. But she isn't expecting that Drystan is already this far ahead.
