Upon hearing Orlando's warning, Ron burst into uproarious laughter.
However, Orlando didn't find what he'd just said ridiculous, nor did he mind Ron's laughter.
He quietly waited for Ron to finish laughing before continuing with an unfaltering expression, "Lord Mayor, if I really wanted to trick you, I wouldn't have chosen such a clumsy excuse."
Ron's laughter subsided, and he said lightly, "Then, Orlando, do tell why the Lute Clan is on the brink of disaster?"
"Lord Mayor, have you ever wondered how such a priceless bond could be so easily stolen by two of my subordinates?"
Ron wore a thoughtful expression, having previously suspected that everything was part of Count Angler's scheme, based on a similar line of reasoning.
However, facing Orlando, Ron didn't want to reveal too much of his own thoughts and just silently listened to the other's recounting.
