Synopsis

The chapter begins with a discussion about a poisonous herb called 'Horen' and narrows down potential suspects involved in its handling. The main character then seeks information from an informant, paying two gold coins to receive details about Pelgrant von Bologneo and others working for Joren. The scene reveals that Pelgrant was a spy who recently bought information and raises suspicion that the main character is Pelgrant's successor, due to their knowledge of the meeting method. The informant is warned not to get involved with the main character.
