conversations.value:  "I don’t have any definitive evidence. But I do have loads of circumstantial evidence." Rod said, showing us documents with his findings so far. "Salas and Dole are both smart. They haven’t left a paper trail, and their underlings are the ones doing all the actual dirty work." The records showed that a significant amount of money tended to disappear around the two. The names of some nobles found to be involved were included, but there was nothing pointing directly at Salas or my father.

It’d be like cutting off a lizard’s tail—it’d just grow back," Rod explained, "We learned that the hard way. Took in a batch, but more just popped up in their place." He looked at Rae with a hint of a challenge in his gaze.

conversations.value:  "As I discussed with His Majesty, I’ll start with the underlings you mentioned. May I have a copy of these materials?"

conversations.value:  Lilly, Rae, and I were all left frozen by the sheer absurdity of what he’d just said. Had Rod Bauer just proposed? To a commoner, of all people?

conversations.value:  I fought to recover my senses, then politely questioned Rod. "Have you gone mad, Master Rod?!" …Now that I think about it, the inquiry might have been less polite than I would have liked.

conversations.value:  I looked over to see her deep in thought, face serious for once. I didn’t blame her. A member of the royal family had just proposed to her. It would be strange for her to not be bewildered. After some pondering, she said, "Just to confirm, this isn’t some kind of joke?"
conversations.prefix: Rae:

conversations.value:  "No. I’m serious."
