-- Does anyone else have any thoughts regarding the case before we proceed?

Beata gives a rather unpleasant smirk.
- What's the problem with inspecting the crime scene? Are there police constantly hanging around? Is there only one entrance to the house?

— A man, thirty-eight years old, inherited the Calcite Throne when he was twenty. During his reign, he significantly expanded slavery in the country: if previously slaves were only servants of noble lords, and they were treated almost like family, now slaves can be bought for various purposes, and the children of slaves also become slaves. The king himself is in good physical shape and of sound mind, and is skilled in the use of a spear. He has three wives, fifty concubines, and eighty-three children – thirty-five daughters and forty-eight sons. He has imposed an unusual restriction on himself – to have no more than fifty concubines at a time. Once a month, he sells the least favorite of them at auction, thus, as he believes, motivating the others to try harder for him. He once offered Naria to become his first wife, but she refused – since then, they have not maintained contact. Your experience in etiquette from living in a villa should be enough to avoid offending the king.

- Miss Aiko. Even before the princess assigned this task to all of us, she assigned it to me. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get to the crime scene. The main entrance was guarded by guards, and the back entrance and windows were locked. I also learned from the owner of the Rabbit Hole that she knows nothing about what happened. I think that Miss Keliandra and I could casually question the vendors in the neighboring shops. Our charm will come in handy.

...Why do you need a spear?

- Miss Ayko. Even before the princess assigned this task to all of us, she assigned it to me. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get to the crime scene. The main entrance was guarded by guards, and the back entrance and windows were locked. I also learned from the owner of the Rabbit Hole that she knows nothing about what happened. I think that Lady Keliandra and I could casually question the vendors in the neighboring shops. Our charm will be just the thing.

—So, a person who limits himself, especially with such a title, is doing a commendable thing. —he muttered to himself, unable to tell if it was serious or not. —Lastly, allow me to inquire about the waters that will carry our ship to its destination. I believe I overheard some sailors talking about pirates and even various sea creatures being encountered here. What does the Imperial Treasury of Knowledge know about this, and what would be useful for us to know in case of a threat?

Ayko describes what she might have known about Fenhel's architecture... (Sigh)

- I suppose the responsibility lies with me," Nihonka finally says in a formal tone, regaining her composure and looking up. "For not knowing enough about the nuances of the local culture, which perceives things differently than I am used to. I will learn this lesson, Bajena-san.
She is silent for a while, gloomily counting the crumbs that have stuck to Bajena's cheeks, which are bulging like a hamster's, and feeling a burning desire to leave, then sighs.
- Okay, let's move on," she waved her hand. Not knowing what else to change the subject to, she asks. - ...Why do you need a spear?

A typical two-story wooden building with two entrances. A shop on the ground floor, a bedroom on the second.

– So, the problem isn't so much about getting in there, but about doing it without leaving any clues. In my opinion, the fact that someone, for example, picked the lock on a window or back door, and also left footprints in the dust, is also a clue. What do you think about that, Miss Beata?

— Every year, 6% of ships traveling from Margel to Barsina are caught in a storm, 6% are attacked by pirates, 2% are lost at sea, and another 2% become food for sea monsters.

-- Operation plan: someone needs to conduct relevant research on the Apostles of Arselia, and in particular, the Apostle of Wrath. I suggest we task our historian, Merel, with this, as he works in the Imperial Archive and will be able to find the necessary book himself without involving other employees. In my opinion, this is the most efficient approach... Of course, without neglecting his work duties, Mr. Merel. Also, perhaps you or someone else here already knows something that you could share with me? -- he begins, looking at the wizard, then surveys everyone else.
