I finally got Ahlbi's last name. Ahlbi Ur'gaid -> I'll be your guide (you ruined it Wigs since I already had this written in my notebook when you posted it).
He is 9 years old!? He looks to be four or five years older than that! I guess that is common with Japan though. You might as well be dead if you are over 40.
"He [Ahlbi] used his position as monk-in-training to get his hands on the treasure" - Payne
So you mean to tell me that an object that only the royal family are permitted to see is easily accessible to monks-in-training, 9 year-olds at that? I'm starting to see a trend from my short time in Khura'in.
The treasure box is the alleged murder weapon. So let me get this straight: Ahlbi is 9 years old, and he supposedly has the strength to wield what appears to be a large metal case and swing it with enough force to deal a lethal blow? Why does nobody call into question the physical capability of Ahlbi to pull this off? Maybe I should be his lawyer.
Children in this universe are all born with super strength.
