Master Reo had mentioned that the trouble was brought by Mr. Galewind, and at this juncture, she was confident he would intervene.
She had considerable faith in John's abilities.
Forcing her thoughts into order, she regained her composure and smiled. "Sir, all items in our auction house are of legitimate provenance. May I ask why you object to the sale of these six daggers?"
