"Exactly why I'm here," continued Tiberius. "Lightning Chateau has taken over the investigation, so I need to hear everything that you've learned regarding the incident."
Suddenly, Hathon's usual expression softened. Bits of laughter, surprise, and amazement popped in and out of Hathon's grin. "Tiberius… Let me first ask you a question, as is necessary given my unique position."
Instantly, the casual air all around Tiberius seemingly dropped in temperature and froze a stern face onto the city lord.
Already sensing the tension in Tiberius's body, Hathon sighed and offered a proper bow, "... Lord Tiberius, how would you like me to answer your investigative inquiry? As Hathon, Mayor of Boarril? Or as Hathon, Head Intelligence Officer of the Frihet Division?"
Tiberius's expression turned even uglier.
