On the first day of the fourth week, Ray made his final preparations quietly.
He needed some updates regarding the Baron's activities within his territory and his current relationship with other nobles.
Recently, there had also been some rumors regarding Baron Fluffybottom and Ray needed more information regarding these rumors.
So he made his way to a traveling merchant who was known to pass through Thornsville every month.
The merchant was a gossipy man and that made him the perfect target for obtaining valuable information.
The merchant's name was Perry and he was infamous for knowing everything about everyone living within the territories of nobles, especially information about the nobles themselves.
Ray bought some dried meat and trail supplies from the merchant, but while Perry was wrapping the package, Ray steered the conversation carefully.
"I heard Baron Fluffybottom's been in a foul mood lately," Ray said casually.
