The heavy thud of a battering ram echoed through the once-pristine streets of the Duchy of Crawford. The mansion's ornate doors buckled under the force, splinters flying with each strike. All across the duchy, similar scenes were unfolding.

Surprisingly, the targets of these raids were none other than the mansions of the Senate's elders.
"Huh? Isn't that Elder Miles' estate?" a merchant gawked, pointing at the lavish residence surrounded by guards.
"I heard he was part of the royal treasure theft!" another man exclaimed.
"I'm not sure yet, but the guards stormed right in."
