"Are the Wymanes leaving Lakeview?" Oliver can't believe what he just heard. "Why? Anthony Wymane was supposed to take the Viscount's place, right?"
"That was supposed to be decided at the public assembly among the major families," the captain comments while looking at the letter in his hands and then at the one in Josephine's hand. "Does your letter say the same as mine, I presume?"
Josephine nods. "It just says they are leaving the city, see for yourself," she extends her arm with the letter.
"No need, I believe you," the captain smiles amicably while tucking his letter into his pocket.
Josephine nods and also puts away her letter. Outwardly, she appears normal, but inwardly she breathes a sigh of relief because her letter likely doesn't match the captain's.
