When he thought there were no leads, the only reason there weren't any was simply that Lancel had been following the wrong one to begin with.
"I'm demanding a full refund, Christoph…"
Lancel pointed the blade straight at Christoph.
"W-Wait…! It was my mistake…!" Christoph stammered, raising both hands. "I didn't think they'd choose to leave Port Town like that…!"
Lancel didn't lower the blade.
According to witness statements, a group of merchants had been seen leaving Port Town. At first, it hadn't seemed strange. Merchants came and went all the time.
But there had been one key, minor slip-up that caught Lancel's attention.
According to the witness, one of the merchants had been one of the performers who had drawn a crowd a few days ago.
A beautiful woman. Someone he could never forget. Beautiful enough that he could recognize her even without the makeup.
According to the witness, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Someone whose bare face was to die for.
