[ For Keelan Morrigan , Edith Byron , @conall , @liono , and Adder Morrigan (@finnley ) ]
Hadrian had set his lieutenants to the task.
When you have the full resources of the Nevermerean military at your disposal, your work is swift and thorough. And his lieutenants had it; Hadrian intended to keep his word to Ellison, that he’d do his best to get to the bottom of her sister’s disappearance. But it turned out that the bottom of this mystery was very shallow indeed. The clues were few, and the ones that existed did not lead to conclusions the Morrigans would want to hear.
However complicated their past, the Morrigans were a high-ranking noble family that had—in recent history—served the crown well. Hadrian wouldn’t do them the disrespect of sending a deputy to discuss the case. Once the commander was briefed, he sent word to Adder Morrigan to gather his children (adopted or otherwise) and Rosamere Osxiano ’s husband, Calix Osxiano. He’d meet with them that afternoon.
When he arrived at the Morrigan estate, he expected to find them waiting—or at least, those who could attend. Hadrian would make his presence known, and follow the servant wherever they would lead him.
