As they traveled through the bustling market, the sounds of haggling and chatter filling the air, Liam shot a curious glance towards Berto. "You didn't seem too disturbed about your wife's affair earlier. Why the sudden concern for her whereabouts?"
Berto shot Liam a sidelong glance, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Didn't that wench spill the beans already?"
Liam shrugged nonchalantly. "It's always better to get both sides of the story."
Exhaling deeply, Berto hesitated for a moment before replying, "She made off with a precious heirloom from my family. If I don't retrieve it soon, I stand to lose my position and the accompanying inheritance."
Liam raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Inheritance? You are part of a prominent family?"
