Harker nodded as if he accepted the job. An investigation was in order; he'd be a detective and a spy of sorts, and a squire, all at once. His face went gaunt at the mentioned killings of people whom he met personally, people who died within a short time of his meeting them. "The first was..." He recalled that night, when the corpse of Karl Leid fell from the roof of the Tower and when the castle broke into chaos for a good few hours and then died into utter nothingness and Sophia's drunken musings and jolly Walden's mood that took weights off their shoulders. "Um, it seems the first was a scare tactic." No doubt in his mind, he knew that was true. Karl Leid had nothing to do with the inner workings of Keilaudrin's court by then, and it seems there was no motivation to kill him other than to strike fear in the people due to the publicity of his death. Sir Redwyne died in private, in front of Gareth, who spent Redwyne's last moments trying to keep him alive, who still did so even afterwards. He stared at the table. "The second... was truly purposeful." Harker rubbed his eyes as if he expected himself to cry, but the time for tears already passed and while he harbored a deep sadness, no longer could it manifest physically. "But who would do such a thing?" He avoided Thomas, who'd be first suspect due to his being named successor. After Thomas, it could be any nameless face. He scolded himself for putting Thomas at the top of the list. He didn't like his acting commander, but for the investigation he had to set aside his personal feelings. Anyone who wanted Keilaudrin to be weak would do such a thing given the opportunity. But it was nobody from Lyok, no, Gareth ruled that out as a red herring. Who else? "Maybe someone who gave Sir Walden the package, or whoever else had anything to do with it..."
