The lady shopkeeper presented an order slip, bowing as she said, "The one who ordered this cup of coffee is the Golden Smile Music Hall in Nuer. They ordered ten cups of coffee in one go, all exactly the same. This napkin is just one of them."
"Golden Smile Music Hall?" Laine furrowed his brows, for the trail ended here.
"Yes, Golden Smile," the lady shopkeeper explained once more, "This was an order from a week ago. At the time, Golden Smile held a concert, and many guests ordered coffee."
This left both Laine and Surya feeling troubled. A music hall hosting a banquet must be public, attracting many attendees. The nobles and citizens of Nuer love music. Who would specifically remember who took which cup of coffee or what the numbering was at a banquet?
