Devin felt a thrill of excitement shoot through him. “Really?” he asked. “And no one has ever solved the mystery?”
The storyteller inclined his head. “If they have, monsieur, it has never been added to the Chronicle of Ombria. Do I know you?”
“I’m sorry,” Devin apologized, extending his hand. “I’m Devin Roché.”
“Adrian Devereux,” he replied. “You’re not from around here, are you?”
“We arrived in Pireé yesterday,” he explained. “I had expected to spend last night in Briseé but we were delayed by a snowstorm.”
Adrian nodded sympathetically. “Spring has been late in coming this year. Our cows were calving in deep snow. We lost a lot of little ones.”
“You live close by?” Devin asked.
Adrian smiled. “Does a bard ever really have a place to call home? My parents are from Briseé but I spend most of my time traveling. I’m back in town for a family wedding. It seems I’m always expected to put in a few local performances while I’m here.”
Marcus interrupted their conversation, placing a heavy hand on Devin’s shoulder.
“There are no rooms available here,” he growled. “Perhaps, if you invoke your father’s name…”
Devin gave a quick shake of his head. The last thing he wished to do was drag his father’s position into this situation. Any progress he’d made toward ingratiating himself with the village residents would be lost in a veil of suspicion and contempt.
“I’ll take care of it,” he murmured, dismissing Marcus with a handful of coins. “Go order something to eat for yourself and Gaspard.”
