| "I don't know if it was rented, but it was room 211," he replies. He then sighs in frustration. "We tried to tell the Defenders, but they didn't take me seriously. Even said I must have done something wrong to get the attention of these men." |

| Mihai is deep in thought and looks frustrated. |

| "Sorry, you told the wrong Defenders. You need to learn how to defend yourself, everyone here knows how. Maybe Sigmund can teach you?" |

| "Train?" Davis asks. "Uh, I already know the basics of hand-to-hand combat... and some sword fighting."
Pensive, he scratches the back of his neck. |

| "Good idea. I'll catch up in a sec, I just have a question for Davis. Any idea why people would want to kidnap you? I don't think I've ever met anyone that's almost been kidnapped twice." |

| Konrad nods. "Good, keep learning. It isn't enough just to know, you need to be good at it. We'll check out that room now." |

| Mihai and Konrad leave the room. Amber stays with Steve.
"Yeah, why would anyone do that to you?" Fluffle adds. "You seems like a good person."
The young man shifts, suddenly uncomfortable. He looks at the two other party members exit the room and then answers the black mage's question.
"Probably for a ransom," he says. "That's what the first kidnappers wanted from me."
"That's horrible!" the fairy exclaims.
"You're that rich?" Amber asks, curious.
"I'm not," Dreyfuss replies. "...My father is."
Meanwhile, Florolf has closed his eyes and appears to be taking a nap right now. ___________
Mihai and Konrad arrive at the room 211. The door is closed. |

| "I..." Davis hesitates. "I'm not supposed to talk about it."
He briefly glances at Amber and then focuses on the carbuncle instead. Without thinking about it, his hand reaches for the small animal in an attempt to pet it. Surprisingly, Florolf doesn't flee from the teenager's touch. In fact, he begins to purr.
Amber exchanges a look with Steve. She's wondering what he'll decide to do. ____________
There's no response from inside the room. |

| "While I won't claim to entirely understand your situation I will say it might be easier to figure out who is doing this if we know who your dad is. Maybe it's an enemy of his, I don't know. Important people tend to make those. Secrets too, yeah? So are you sure you want to keep this secret right now, in this particular situation?"

| "What for?"
Mihai opens the door carefully, just in case there are any surprises.

| Steve's words have an effect on Davis, but he still feels conflicted about this. Luckily, Amber decides to chime in. With a soft smile she tells him, "It's okay, you can trust us. We won't tell anyone else."
The young man's doubts seem to melt away instantly. Even Fluffle can tell.
"Okay," he says. He takes a deep breath and then looks at Steve again. "My father is Matthias Trauth, Duke of Schlau." ___________
Mihai finds no traps. The door opens and leads into a small hallway. The bathroom is on the right, and the bed is further up ahead, only a few feet away from the entrance. Mihai can only see the end of the bed from where he stands. He also notices that the covers on the bed have been moved just a little. |

| Mihai goes in the room, taking care to walk silently. He'll inch past the corner, to peek at the bed once it's in view.

| Konrad's sword hand tightens. "Well? Is anyone asleep?" he whispers from the door. |

| Steve thinks about this revelation. The man is unfamiliar to him but he tries to recall about what he knows of the Duke of Schlau as a title and their lands, as well as what the people of Lorinth would think about a royal with a bastard and the bastard themselves.

| Steve knows that the counties of Schlau, Zart, Nuchtern, Bescheiden and Lugner comprise the Duchy of Schlau. These lands were divided in the year 5 A.F. by Emperor Alexander Hammerfist II – also known as the Butcher – and then distributed to the Trauth family, who were originally minor courtiers of the old imperial court.
Lorinthians generally view bastards as a potential threat to the stability of the kingdom, and the blame often goes to the person who committed adultery. The bastards themselves are usually considered blameless, and their parents are expected to care for them, but they must stay away from politics if they wish to gain any kind of respect. ___________
Mihai stealthily walks into the room until he's able to see the bed. An old overweight man in his sixties is sleeping on it, naked. His clothes are all over the floor, between the wall and the bed.
There's nothing covering him. |

| Konrad walks in. When he sees the sleeping patron, he folds his arms and harumphs. "Clothes on the floor, all his?" he whispers.
