"We'll be taking ye to a wealthy land owner at the northern border. It's a quite secluded area and I know next to nothin' about him. His name's Lord Ruairi. I tried investigating him, of course, but he's a mysterious fellow. He officially lives in a town near lake Aurora but he's rarely ever seen there. I've picked up on a rumor of him living in the water, but that's probably just a rumor. It's more likely that he lives in the abandoned manor on the mountaintop overlooking the lake"
"I tried asking around the area if anyone knew anything about their landlord, but the only things they could tell me were that he makes the lake burn or that he's a demon wielding hellfire so..".

You smirk "Demon wielding hellfire eh? Sounds like daddy's found a good match for me." Duran sighs as you lick your lips seductively. Then he continues "I figured you might like that. Still, I decided to check the Magi tower's records to see how much of it is true. His name was listed there so he's likely a mage. There was no further information on him there though. I'd guess he's a fire mage or demonologist since all of the rumors are of him setting fire to everything or sending devils everywhere. Anyway, the lack of information on him almost feels like someone really high-up is shielding him. There's nothing in the magic supervision's records to indicate that anyone's keeping an eye on him either."

"Hmm, that so? well, it doesn't really matter - if my dad would have me marry him, then he's bound to be of great importance to our country or something like that. I don't intend on opposing him - unless he tries to admit me to a cloister and tells me to be a nun." Duran shakes his head at you and pulls out a roll of parchment with the royal seal on it. "Heh, guess that explains why he gave us this letter for yer eyes only - Must be real bad though if he don't even want ta inform me 'bout it".

You take the parchment from him. Before you can take a closer look, Duran pulls out another item "One more thing, he also send ya this bag o' coins in case you needed it" Duran gives you a dubious look, rolls his eyes and rejoins the rest of the escort after handing you a lofty sum of 500 gold. This makes it quite obvious to you that your father has some ulterior motives for sending you to this Lord Ruairi. He never gives you more money than you need, the stingy bastard. Not that you ever actually asked for more money or anything..

You put the money away and look at the letter in your hand The seal is still intact, meaning no one tried to take a look. Not that you'd expect anyone to risk their neck out of curiosity. If it's a matter of such importance he can't even tell Duran, you should probably not open this letter in public.

You :

Excuse yourself and return to your private quarters to read your Father's letter

Keep the letter for later, you'd rather try to solve this mystery the old fashioned way. Life's no fun if you know all the answers beforehand
