Steward Gray was covered in cold sweat, but he had already lied this long. He felt that telling the truth now would only implicate him in the kidnapping case. So he bit his inner cheek and continued to lie.
"General, like I said, it was two servants under me who went to collect the debt. If you do not believe me, I can send for them, and you can question them yourself. This involves a member of the royal family; I would not dare to lie," Steward Gray said. His voice was dry, but he managed to finish speaking.
"There is no need to send for them. I will visit Wiwell and investigate myself," General Robert said. He did not believe that a steward managing a small business would dare to lie to him, so he let it rest for the time being. He believed that by questioning other people involved, he might uncover more information.
"Lord Williams, I am afraid I will have to borrow this steward to show me around as I investigate," General Robert turned to Lord Williams.
