Cassian stared at the familiar handwriting for several long seconds before finally lowering his head.
"Yes," he said. "I wrote it."
Scarlett's eyes narrowed. Noah remained perfectly still. Kiara simply nodded once.
"I know that you wrote it. Your seal is clearly on the envelope itself." She leaned back slightly. "Anyway, answer this — how did you discover that Black Knight was Wester Silver?"
Cassian blinked, clearly surprised by the question.
"I didn't," he said quickly. "I swear it. House Drake has nothing to do with it. We never investigated him ourselves. I only received the information."
"From whom?"
"I… I don't know," he admitted. "It arrived anonymously. No signature. No seal. No name. Only the information."
Kiara tapped one finger lightly against the table.
"The information claimed Black Knight was Wester Silver."
"Yes."
"And you believed it?"
