The fabricated story he used was told only to Jeffrey, but it was with the intent that the latter would spread the matter to others.
It was set up to erase any suspicion and doubt about when and where he came from. Unfortunately, that setup was starting to bite back at him in full force.
The Sunfire Road incident had directly clashed with his supposed timing of arrival, meaning that his story was a complete lie.
"Sir, I believe you might be overthinking too much." Mirelle suddenly approached him and whispered, "You never specified the reason why we were kicked out of the carriage on the Sunfire Road. We can simply shift the blame to me about my cautiousness, which clashed with the carrier company regarding your safety."
Upon hearing her suggestion, Leonard's heart softened a bit.
He understood Mirelle was trying to console him and lessen his foul mood.
But she was still too shallow in her thinking!
