I may have found the Authority.

[ Thanks, Monarch. Good day to you too and all that. ]

There's a bank account called "Vault #0". Nothing's ever withdrawn from it, but employees transfer other accounts' money to it when those accounts come within 20% of its total.

Doesn't that sound like Esme? She'd wanted to be more admired than everyone else. So what if the Avaritia Authority wants to be richer?

.....I don't have a name, though. I apologize.

Do you have any way to see if that gross first deposit matches a withdrawal from the casino at the same time? Might give us an indicator for if it was from Miss Fortune, y'know?

Since her win was "the largest payout ever"

I might. It's a promising lead.

If I can't see the casino's account, but we knew how much she won, we could compare those numbers, too.

I've tried to get a number from people or descriptions of her but no one is willing to talk. I can only push so much before they get suspicious and I don't want to jeopardize my reputation until we're sure we don't need a lot of cash.

Good to know I should definitely not be keeping winnings at the bank though.

[ Monarch feels a moment of shame at being disinclined to stand up for his employer. Then he remembers what said employer has asked him to do and moves on. ]

That reticence itself might be significant. She's notable, but people don't want to discuss her.

[ He's not sure what it SIGNIFIES. Which is frustrating. But it does seem SIGNIFICANT.
