Sage was very relieved when his prediction was right, the sad guy he met said that he saw someone holding it while running towards an aisle, Sage was about to run straight towards the aisle he mentioned but he shouted to Sage to wait and hear him out, Sage was already a few miles away, but he returned to the guy who seemed sad before but now he seemed fine, he said to Sage that the thief wanted to sell it to him, when Sage heard this, he quickly ask him if he bought it or not, then the guy was annoyed and said to Sage to just relax and hear what he was trying to say, he then continued by saying that he didnt buy it then he quickly added before Sage could response, that a person named Gaud would buy it as he love precious things and would sell it back with an even higher price and to make profit by doing so. Sage said thanks to the guy and left while saying sorry for interrupting his day, the guy replied to Sage that he was fine and he was glad that he could help someone today. When both f them departed from the scene, Sage ran to the aisle where he was talking about but found no thief, plus nobody is there. As he walked out of the aisle with a sad face, he looked around the streets and the market, and he was very lucky to see someone holding a crest that looks exactly like the one in the picture his client gave him. Sage exhale a deep breath showing how relief he was, he ran towards the man who was holding the crest before he got off his trail, when he arrived in front of the person, he took his time and panted due to the running he did before he arrive there. After recovering his breaths, Sage asked the man who was holding the crest if he is a man named Gaud. He replied yes, then Sage said to him that the crest belongs to the Messer's Family and they are one of the rune knights, Gaud said to Sage that he had no idea that it was stolen and it belonged to someone. He said he dont want any trouble with the rune knights so he handed the crest to Sage without arguing even a little. Sage said thank you to him for his cooperation and he replied with a you are welcome and have a nice day. Sage walked up the streets towards the Messer's home where the crest should be, while he was walking he was proud of himself to help someone with a thief case, maybe he should fight someone or something in his next quests. When he arrived at the Messer's place, he could see a guard standing at the gate and Sage thought that he should just hand it to the guard and leave, and he did gave the crest to the guard, the guard payed him and Sage left.
