Zeuxis grumbled to himself while looking for that friend of Ronin. That little prince suddenly disappeared so they had to split, him taking the west and Ronin the east to cover more ground.
He stumbled lazily past the people whoring themselves for money and availing whores. This reminded him of a certain person.
Not anybody as close to him as his brother was to this prince. He barely knew this person, and they barely talked.
But he made an impression on him because he was the first person he saw...
That got killed in that godforsaken house.
"Lord Saico. It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Heron." He bowed gracefully even when everyone knew what he was there for.
Zeuxis never knew if that was his real name, or his performance name. But his thick, spicky hair that reached the floor does remind him of a heron bird.
So too were his golden eyes, rare for someone with a medium-grade Heartstone. That must be why the Marquis picked him out of all the others.
