The echoes of the Mayfair ballroom lingered in Oliver's mind as he made his way through the dimly lit streets of London, his thoughts consumed by the memory of his encounter with Lord Harrington. The tension between them hung in the air like a heavy fog, casting a shadow over his thoughts and filling him with a sense of unease.
Determined to uncover the truth behind Lord Harrington's sudden appearance, Oliver embarked on a quest for answers, delving into the shadowy depths of London's underworld in search of clues.
His journey led him to the dimly lit alleyways of Covent Garden, where whispers of scandal and intrigue danced on the breeze like leaves caught in a whirlwind. Here, amidst the hustle and bustle of the city's underbelly, Oliver hoped to find someone willing to shed light on Lord Harrington's dark secrets.
It was in a dingy tavern nestled between rows of dilapidated buildings that Oliver found what he was looking for—a man shrouded in shadows, his face hidden beneath the brim of a tattered hat.
Approaching cautiously, Oliver took a seat beside the mysterious figure, his senses on high alert. "I seek information," he began, his voice low and measured. "Information about a man named Lord Harrington."
The man regarded him with a steely gaze, his eyes glittering with a mixture of suspicion and curiosity. "What business do you have with Lord Harrington?" he asked, his voice a gravelly whisper.
Oliver hesitated, weighing his words carefully. "I believe he may be involved in something... unsavory," he admitted, careful not to reveal too much.
The man's lips curled into a knowing smirk, as if he had anticipated Oliver's inquiry. "Lord Harrington is a dangerous man," he murmured, his voice tinged with warning. "He has many enemies, and he is not one to be trifled with."
Despite the warning, Oliver pressed on, his determination unyielding. "I need to know the truth," he insisted, his voice steady despite the rising tide of uncertainty. "Whatever it takes."
With a solemn nod, the man leaned in closer, his words barely a whisper against the clamor of the tavern. "Then listen well, young sir, for the truth you seek may be darker than you can imagine..."
