Eude raised an eyebrow. "And what does that have to do with you?"
Lorryll took a slow sip of his drink before responding. "I have a person of interest inside the barony."
Eude let out a short, humourless chuckle. "Wait… don't tell me you're also after Cleora?" He scoffed. "Aren't you already married?"
Lorryll laughed, shaking his head. "No, Lord Eude, I have no interest in her. But I do seek someone who is with her."
Eude's expression darkened slightly. "Who?"
"Jolthar," Lorryll answered simply.
Eude exhaled sharply through his nose, his amusement returning. "Ah, the young mutt staying by her side. Yes, I have seen him." He leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table.
"I suppose you've also heard about what happened in the barony? Quite the affair."
Lorryll nodded. "The entire empire has heard the official version, at least."
