Oliver understood her intentions and turned to Hattic. “Where is Riley staying now? Is he at the inn?”

“He’s not staying at the inn, but at the biggest guesthouse in Zrork City. He’s been treated to lavish meals every day. I’ve heard that in the private rooms where he stays, there’s always the sound of music, and many beautiful women come and go,” Hattic reported.

Oliver shifted awkwardly. “But he’s a eunuch.”

“Does that make him incapable of enjoying such things?” Isolde sneered. “There are many eunuchs in the palace like that. Some even take advantage of the palace maids.”

Oliver was uncomfortable with such talk, but he furrowed his brow, “Riley isn’t a good person, that’s for sure.”

“Of course he’s not a good person. If he were, would he be spreading lies about Geoffrey?” Hattie fumed.

“Fine, we’ll go see him tonight and find out what he’s up to,” Isolde decided.

Riley was staying at the Cohgan Inn, which just so happened to be owned by the Sharp family, and coincidentally, it was one of the properties Natasha had allocated to Isolde, since it was in Geoffrey’s hometown. Most of the properties in Zrork City had been passed to Isolde. While the paperwork for the official title hadn’t been completed yet, Natasha had already given orders, and the inn’s manager was well aware that the new owner was the Marquise of Filial Devotion, Isolde, and the Soaring General.

Although the Zrork City properties were not as valuable as those in Argentum, they held special meaning for Isolde. The most valuable properties in Argentum were already under her name, and Natasha had made sure she was well–provided for.

The Cohgan Inn was Zrork City’s most expensive and luxurious guesthouse, with three branches. The one where Riley stayed was located on South Street, surrounded by high–end shops–jewelry stores, restaurants, banks, and silk shops–where the wealthy gathered.
