Golden Eyes
On the day of the attack on Asklepa's Apothecary, then 5-year-old Lindie Asklepa served a Noble with Golden Eyes, who she believes was responsible for the attack.
Jorma Asklepa contacted the Undergazette about the purchase, but was killed that night along with her baby son, Basilisk Asklepa. During the attack, it seems that the Golden-Eyed Noble tampered with the Apothecary's stock inventory, because the purchased items were possibly incriminating.
Later Undergazette investigations concluded that the purchased ingredients were likely intended to be used to contact Divs. The evidence indicates that most of the purchased items could be used for summoning and/or binding to a contract, some kind of pact or agreement with some kind of powerful Div.
Krona Tailfeather, prompted by his adopted daughter's nightmares about the attack, created a list of Nobles with Golden Eyes. The note attempted to ascertain whether any of the nobles had alibis. Vizier Richard Dargent was noted to have been in a financial meeting during the Golden-Eyed noble's apothecary visit. Both Shajaras had briefly retreated from public life around that time. Although they are known to do this sometimes, this was a conspicuous “peak withdrawal”, where contemporary talk speculated on their unusual absence and there were some theories that they might even be dead. Significantly, neither had any alibis.
History

The noble with the Golden Eyes visited Asklepa's Apothecary and purchased various items. Although the Apothecary didn’t sell illegal goods (it was sometimes frequented by the nobles) but some of the items sold had a niche use and the purchase of all of the things together point to illegal activity.Jorma Asklepa contacted the Undergazette about the purchase, but was killed that night along with her baby son, Basilisk Asklepa. During the attack, it seems that the Golden-Eyed Noble tampered with the Apothecary's stock inventory, because the purchased items were possibly incriminating.

The Amira's Left Ear told Lindie Asklepa that on the night of her family's murder, the Shajaras had weak alibis and ample motives. The forbidden summoning ritual (that Lindie's mother recognised the ingredients for, would have been used to summon certain powerful Divs. Some divs, such as Doru, have a fondness for secret brokering, and a summoner could use this as a shortcut to greater things.Needleday, Tailormoon, 1313
Lindie Asklepa discovered that Krona Tailfeather was still working on the Jorma Case, presumably because of his personal connection to it through her.
Krona Tailfeather of the Undergazette was prompted by the nightmares of his adopted daughter, Lindie Asklepa to list golden-eyed nobles as a clue.
