As the group left the inn, Hattie and Hazel had already gathered the necessary information, engaging in a discussion with two imperial soldiers about martial arts techniques. Both were martial artists, so they found common ground and continued to converse.

The four of them departed the inn and climbed into the carriage.

Hattie spoke first, “They are indeed here on official business. Catherine heard that a stone tablet was unearthed at the Vruburn Church just outside of Zrork City, with inscriptions related to the Wallace family. So, she sent Riley and some imperial soldiers here to investigate. Now that they have the stone tablet, the soldiers initially wanted to return early, but Riley insisted on staying to uncover the origins of the tablet. The soldiers were guarding it outside all this time, but Riley spent most of his time inside, mingling with women under the pretense of investigating the stone. The soldiers didn’t believe him, but Riley has the favor of Catherine, and they didn’t dare offend him. They let him do as he pleased. I also overheard that Vance has been meeting with Riley every day.”

Oliver glanced at Isolde and said, “It’s clear he’s here for more than just this stone. When he spoke about Geoffrey, his eyes didn’t even flicker, so his confidence must be very high. That means he suspects Catherine is really trying to stir trouble for the Langley family.”

Isolde looked at him and smiled.

“What’s so funny?” Oliver asked, surprised.

Isolde chuckled, “I’m laughing because I was just thinking the same thing. He’s guessing Catherine’s intentions, but why would he even guess like that? It’s clear someone informed him. He knows about Catherine’s objections to my inheritance. When I mentioned Ashley, his reaction showed he’s feeling guilty, which confirms my suspicion. It was Ashley who misled him, and it was Ashley who encouraged him to ally with Vance. Riley has been away on business for so long, he only knows the surface details about Ashley. He doesn’t realize that Ashley is deeply disliked by both the King and Victoria. Only someone like him would trust Ashley’s words. After all, she’s Finnian’s granddaughter, and the King admires Finnian’s talents. Riley probably thought he was acting on Catherine’s behalf, but he’s too clever to do anything directly. Instead, he let Vance do all the talking, making the Langley family believe the accusations about my father were real.”

Oliver laughed, “That’s exactly what I was thinking. You and I are in sync. But there’s still one thing you haven’t mentioned.”

“What’s that?” Isolde asked, confused.

He could have easily come to Zrork City, planted the stone, and then had Riley report to Catherine that the stone with the Wallace family’s connections had been found.
