By the way, is this a hint that a female mercenary or someone else of the female gender was the killer?
How many females are actually capable of killing? Considering that yesterday we were guessing about the role of Hos.
In general, it seems like a paladin came to visit her for tea and then killed her, but it's a strange way to kill, plus if Ney is a servant, why would the paladin kill her? She has a good status. And could she even kill someone with a good status? So, it's unlikely.
If it was a mercenary, then what doubts are we talking about?
What makes you think the brewer thinks the healer will treat you, and why would the healer treat you?
