"Nasty, you say?"

Jada smiled in wry amusement. "My master is even more so. Now talk!" Aina spilled the beans right then, since she had no stake in this anyway.

The next morning, Frank arrived with the artifacts at a village called Zurtborg.

He stood before a millstone that had not seen use for a while, straightening his clothes and putting down several suitcases while waiting quietly for Elizabeth's arrival.

He did not assume Aina's appearance simply because Aina did not want trouble with Elizabeth, which was why she used a go-between.

That spared Frank the need to disguise himself as a woman, as he assumed the appearance of Elizabeth's assistant.

However, while he was waiting, a man and a woman came bounding down the road, with the man smacking the woman repeatedly with a shovel as he chased her down.

Frank smirked, but he knew he could not fault the villagers for being callous. They were refraining from meddling in another family's matter, not to mention that they might get caught in a misunderstanding and even get chased out of the village.

That did not apply to Frank, however, as he did not live here, and intervening was really no issue.
