Synopsis

Collin is given a cursed snack and ordered to sabotage the Sheyron trade group, with the threat of a gruesome death if he fails and the promise of freedom if he succeeds. Meanwhile, a trade group from Merelof is attacked, with most of the members hurt or unconscious, and only a few surviving, impacting the supply lines. Amid the chaos, the count's butler secretly requests the current prices of Gula from Brach, hinting at a hidden agenda and potentially circumventing official channels due to the delays caused by the weather.
