Margaret provided Shard with the information and smiled as she revealed something she had just learned:
"My brother came to Randall Valley with another agenda, just like me. Do you remember the piece of gold ore you picked up last week? At the time, I was curious about where a gold mine had been discovered locally. I just heard a local rumor mentioning that Ston Osenfort's subordinates had explored a gold mine here and were collaborating with my brother on its development. Of course, it's just a rumor for now, and it seems to have some issues, so we can't rule out if it's some kind of trick."
"I heard from Miss Lathis that Mr. Osenfort originally handled some things for your brother that he couldn't conveniently manage himself."
"Yes, Mr. Osenfort's rise is somewhat related to William. He's a very capable person, and quite lucky too. However, he's a bit too ruthless for my taste; I wouldn't employ such people."
