[D2 ME] A Test of Loyalty (closed)

[Kevan Lyras]

It was shortly after the meeting with Nathan at the inn, when Ser Kevan arrived at Raventree Hall. Once again, he was riding on his own, wearing the coat which identified him as one of the investigators.
Best to put his good ideas into action quickly

From his investigations on the day before, he knew exactly where to find Ser Tyron's rooms. He knocked on the door and once the cousin of his wife asked who was there, he said his name, opened the door and entered.
"
Ser Tyron, it is me Ser Kevan Lyras. I am sorry to invade your privacy, but my wife Lady Sofia is talking so well of you that I have to share with you the good news I received today."

[Reader]

Ser Tyron seemed a shadowcat given human form, dark-haired, lithe and dangerous.

"
Ser Kevan."
He offers a respectful bow, given Ser Kevan's similar social standing.

"
How fares my sweet cousin? I will admit to some sorrow that I am no longer able to defend her directly, but you have shown yourself capable by your deeds Ser."


"
What good news reaches Raventree Hall in these troubled times? Has the ground itself turned against those perfidious Blackwood usurpers, swallowing them and their wicked ways?"


He smirks.

[Kevan Lyras]

Kevan returned Ser Tyron's bow making sure to treat the Blackwood knight with the respect his status demanded.

"
My lovely wife is doing well given the tragic circumstances. The first few days were very tough after we heard about what happened. She is still mourning and she felt it was too early coming back here with me on this occasion, for the pain is still too new. Thankfully here duties as a mother help here coping as little Robbin is one of the few bright spots in these dark times."


He made a short pause before continuing, but not before he lowered his voice once again, despite the fact they were alone in the room.

"
During my investigations, I got contacted by someone claiming to have full evidence on who is responsible for the assassination of Lord Blackwood. I was a bit skeptical at first as I would not trust somebody who does not want to reveal himself thst easily, but he insisted he has the necessary informaton and that for the right price, I could acquire it."


Kevan decided to first await Ser Tyron's initial reaction before showing him the "
evidence"
he received, hoping that the map would sway any initial doubts, once presented...

[Reader]

Ser Tyron is a man of fury, or a great actor. Nostrils flared, fists clenched, his knuckles straining to break free of pale Blackwood skin.

"
[size=150:3bjkmch8]WHO HAS THIS EVIDENCE?"


"
[size=150:3bjkmch8]WE MUST HAVE IT. BYRON MUST BE AVENGED."


Suddenly, etiquette, the correct form of address for the late Lord Blackwood right depth of bow are all forgotten. Indeed, Ser Tyron quite forgets himself, his manner is hardly appropriate for one addressing a royal envoys.

A man in mourning for a beloved lord, or a guilty conscience?

[Kevan Lyras]

Kevan closely observed Ser Tyron's rash reaction and in a split second, he changed his plan.

"
Ssh, Ser Byron, I urge you to calm down. From my investigations so far, I believe there is an insider here at Raventree Hall that had helped the assassins. I am determined to uncover this piece of shit, but for that to happen, it is absolutely necessary that nobody, absolutely nobody, finds out that somebody potentially has found any evidence. Believe me, Ser Byron, I want to uncover the ones responsible for the death of my father-in-law, but for that I need your cooperation."

He makes sure to stress his connection with House Blackwood once again, signalling that he is indeed on the same side as the Blackwood knight.

"
By the old gods I'll breathe not a word of it, if you'll give me your word the guilty party will dance the hangman's reel for his duplicity?"


He offers a warrior's handshake, ready to seal the vow.

[Kevan Lyras]

The Marsten knight returns the handshake and assures Ser Tyron
"
I promise you Ser, the guilty party will pay dearly for their crimes and if there is indeed an insider, who was a known participant of the murders, he shall hang!"
