Viscount Meyer was one of the most consistent and influential buyers in the underground trade of kidnapped healers or those abducted from remote villages or lured in with promises of sponsorship, education, and noble patronage, only to be swallowed into a fate far crueler than death.
For years, his name had remained at the top of the client list. Payments were never late and requests were always specific especially those who have no family powerful enough to search too deeply.
Even when his wife openly opposed such dealings, when she pleaded, argued, and wept behind closed doors, Viscount Meyer never stopped. He simply learned to hide it better. He kept his reputation spotless in public, attended banquets with a polite smile, donated to temples, funded orphanages, and played the role of a dignified nobleman flawlessly.
To society, he was refined, cultured and respectable.
