«I beg your pardon, the topic of the death of Ilmira and Einar still stirs our feelings,» said Bradomir.
Jason and Alphonse looked very bad after these words, none of them really wanted to raise this issue...
Despite the fact that they knew perfectly well who was involved in the attempted murder of Ilmira and Einar Bahov, they did not dare to voice it publicly in any case. Especially in front of Bradomir, because everyone knows that in anger an old man is like an angry dragon...
«No, I should be the one to apologize, I shouldn't have remembered this tragic event,» Jason said. Please accept my sincere condolences...
«That's right, we didn't mean anything bad, we just didn't fully understand what you were leading to ...» Alphonse added.
Both Balthazar and Bradomir both breathed a sigh of relief... Today, they should in no case breed suspicions of the Moiser clan regarding themselves.
«Forget it, I perfectly understand your position,» Bradomir dismissed. «In general, I wanted to say that perhaps the Arcer clan is trying to take revenge on us in this way ...
«I don't think Laray Arcer is such a petty person,» Alphonse disagreed.
«Why is he that kind of person to me?» Jason argued. «Besides, perhaps this old man was trying to provoke a conflict between the Moiser clan and the Bach clan in this way.
— And why does he need it? — doubt was clearly visible on Alphonse's face, in general, he did not like talking about all sorts of conspiracies.
«If we find the Bach clan guilty of the crime they are accused of, then...» Jason tried to explain.
«That's right, then we will have to pay compensation to the Arcer clan,» Balthazar interrupted him, who had already calmed down a little after his outburst of anger. «Just to begin with, we need to prove the fact that we have committed something criminal ...
«And you, if I'm not mistaken, also have a younger granddaughter who a few years ago awakened a divine spark of ice ...» Alphonse nodded understandingly, looking into Bradomir's eyes.
There was pity in his voice, and to some extent sympathy ...
Few would want to be in Bradomir's situation. A powerful lightning demigod capable of slaughtering the entire Arcer clan must endure attacks from such scum, all because of the rules adopted by the Moizer clan...
«Sir,» Earl entered the dining room. The knights have finished checking the estate.
— Good, everything is fine? asked the head of the Bah clan.
«Of course, the slander of the Arcer clan was not confirmed ...» the manager stated confidently.
Alphonse and Jason got up from the table and walked to the exit.
«Sorry to disturb you,» Alphonse said. — I think it's time for us, we need to talk with subordinates.
«Of course, I hope the Moiser clan will be fair to us,» Bradomir said, his eyes flashing.
«Yeah, no way,» Jason nodded. — Expect an official decision within three days ...

Did you find anything suspicious?
«No, not even the magic tool showed anything,» the subordinate said, standing in front of Jason Moiser.
«Strange, is old fool LaRay completely mad...» Jason snorted. «What's the point of spreading rumors if the check still didn't show anything. To make a fool of yourself?
The young man began to walk around the room from one end to the other, while his subordinate stood with his eyes on the floor.
«Wait, maybe it wasn't LaRay who was plotting here...» Jason suggested, after carefully considering the available information. «But Bradomir Bach is not in a position to arrange something like that, or still ... No, some kind of nonsense, he had so many opportunities to show such abilities, but he remained powerful, but uselessly honest.
«Sir, there is only one clue, but I don't know...»
«Speak,» Jason said commandingly.
«In general, the youngest grandson, Aaron, went to the possessions of the Bach clan,» answered the subordinate.
— So what? the chief snorted. "It makes perfect sense to send the most vulnerable member of the clan away from possible problems. Although... It doesn't matter, it's better to ask Larey directly...
— Prepare the crew?
"No, it's better to go on horseback, no escort is needed, I don't want to attract undue attention ...
