You decide to finally show Attrebus the papers you copied from Lhotun's ledger, and tell him of how you discovered Lhotun's treasonous crimes. Attrebus looks through the papers for a time. He looks troubled, but not as angry as you expected. Something is wrong.

"These records certainly show signs of embezzlement." Attrebus begins. "And by your accounts, they would certainly be acts of high treason...if you are telling the truth."

If?

"Alastor, you seem like a trustworth man, and I have no reason not to trust your word on this matter.  But these are just copies of the latest shipments that have been tampered with. Copies that you made, I might add. Do you really think the Elder Council would accept this as evidence of treason on it's own?"

But he just said he trusted you!

"I do trust you, Alastor." he continues. "But look at it from my point. Lhotun is the current owner of the East Empire Company, and has served as such for several years. Your history of your own business rivaling with that of Lhotun's is by no means a secret. And the only evidence that you present against him are copies from the official shipping ledger, that were made by your hand. At best, that would be grounds for an investigation, a low priority one mind you, and at worst, your accusations would be dismissed entirely."

But...

"If you had something more substantial, irrefutable proof of your claims, this might be a different story. As it stands now, I am uncertain of how this will play out. I'll tell the rest of the Council of your claims, even vouch for your character, but don't expect any miracles. With the murder on hand, and proof of the Fortesia family's involvement with Daedra to present to the other Councilors, we'll be busy enough as it is. Not to mention..."

Attrebus cuts himself off there, giving a deep sigh.

"I'll present your accusations to the Elder Council, Alastor. More than that, I cannot promise."
