While Zaiden likes to think they have everything under control, Zaiden has lost a lot of sleep over a recent execution. One of their clients, a powerful banker and enjoyer of forbidden luxury goods, threatened to go public with sensitive information despite being blackmailed. Zaiden ordered their underlings to execute her, which proved successful, but the murder has been placed under investigation by the local authorities. While Zaiden taught their underlings to get rid of evidence, they are worried that they might have missed something, and that perhaps they should’ve hired someone with more experience for once. They keep this concern to themselves, however, as they are worried that expressing doubt will weaken their reputation as a confident leader. | While Zaiden likes to think they have everything under control, Zaiden has lost a lot of sleep over a recent execution.
