Geoffrey rushed to the magistrate’s office, where, Rowan Carroll, the High Magistrate of Argentum, was waiting for him.

“How is Clark?” Geoffrey asked urgently.

“He’s been treated by a doctor. His life is not in danger. He has injuries on his head and face, but those are just superficial. The most serious injury is to his leg, which was crushed by a table. The doctor said the damage is severe, and even after healing, he will have difficulty walking,” Rowan explained.

“Difficult walking? What do you mean by that?” Geoffrey’s heart sank.

“It’s just the initial diagnosis from the doctor,” Rowan replied, watching Geoffrey carefully. “You’re welcome to bring your own doctor to treat him.”

“I want to take him home,” Geoffrey said immediately.

Rowan shook his head. “I’m afraid that’s not possible. The case hasn’t been resolved yet. He can’t leave for now. But don’t worry, he’s not locked in the jail. He’s being kept in a stone room in the back courtyard. The conditions are not bad.”

Hearing that Clark was being confined in a stone room, Geoffrey’s instincts told him that things were not simple. “What exactly happened?” he asked.

Rowan gestured for someone to bring over a statement and said, “The person Clark fought with is named Kameron. He’s not a rich man, but his family is well–off. Kameron was also injured and is being kept in the stone room, though they’re being kept separate.”

The stone room was typically used to detain injured suspects, especially those involved in serious cases.

Geoffrey took the statement, his face darkening as he read it. “This is absurd.”

Rowan smiled faintly. “Yes, it is. To think that Clark’s own brother would try to frame him. It’s strange–he ended up in the trap he set for others. The woman in question insists that Braden was the one who assaulted her, and while Braden denies it, her injuries, combined with Kameron’s testimony, make it hard for him to deny.”
