"Speaking of which, although asking this might come off as a bit boastful—do you know that all of your assets are about to be investigated?"
Shard asked again, and Osenfort nodded:
"I received some news this morning. It seems that the order came directly from the Emperor of Carsonrick, leaving no room for maneuver. Now that you mention it, Mr. Watson, you seem to know quite a few big shots... Her Highness Margaret?"
Even though Shard tried his best to avoid dragging others into this, his connection with Her Highness the Princess was too close, and it wasn't surprising that Osenfort guessed some things. Of course, there was no need to worry about Margaret's safety tonight; she and Prince William had directly moved into the Sun Cathedral, staying with Iluna.
"I do have some relations with Her Highness, though she happened to be short of money to appease the Stonemason Guild. Don't you feel regret? After all, that was your property."
