[It's possible that Ali and Concord are having a perfectly normal meeting. It's also possible that the mail is a ruse and the servants in the castle got Really Curious when they saw Concord go to the treasury for a second night in a row.

Regardless, the servant holding the mail for Ali looks between Ali and Concord a couple times, clearly torn between asking a question and acting like everything is just fine. Because a couple of the washing women definitely reported some interesting sounds, which in no way would have sounded like a discussion of funds.

Ali sighs, and he reaches out and takes the mail from the servant before looking back to Concord.

[The servant is quiet for a moment, debating his choices further, before he finally works up the courage to speak:]

Er...Knight Commander? Sir?
