Several hours later.
The butler, Owen, once again entered the Duke's study to report:
"Your Grace, according to news from the Sword Bearers Headquarters, this Rein not only has eyewitnesses but also physical evidence. As things stand, it's highly likely the other party will be acquitted."
"Currently, General Augustus has decided merely to restrict Rein's freedom, ordering him not to leave the Imperial City Tamriel for two weeks."

After listening carefully to his butler Owen's report, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Did you just say eyewitnesses?"
