"By the way, I need your help with something," Nolan said.
"Just give the order, my lord."
Arnold bowed his head.
"I need you to find evidence of Jakes' crimes. He's a wealthy businessman from the western region. He owns several inns, mines, and..."
Arnold listened in silence as Nolan went over the details.
Five minutes later, Nolan finally finished, and Arnold understood what he wanted.
"I understand. Leave it to me."
"Good." Nolan smiled. "If you can, look into any connections between Jakes and Cedric too. Jakes is one of Cedric's biggest supporters, especially financially."
Ever since Cedric lost a fortune after losing his bet with Nolan on the match between the Asbourne and Lionheart families, things had only gotten worse for him.
In the end, he agreed to an engagement with Margaretta of House Ashvale, tying himself even more closely to the family.
