Corrick considers Arella and Consul Roydan Pelham as the Benefactors, because they’ve been meeting each other in secret. Allisander appears to complain about Tessa and accuse her of being pregnant with a smuggler’s baby. They argue and play chess, until Harristan arrives and Allisander leaves. Corrick wants to tell Harristan that he doesn’t want to kill people or be King’s Justice anymore, but can’t. Harristan asks Corrick if he’s working with smugglers in the Hold. Corrick is angry that he would suggest this, and denies it, even though he has been committing treason as Wes for years. Harristan’s guard Rocco begins guarding Corrick’s room.
Tessa and Corrick dress up in their old clothes and masks, then sneak out of the palace through an abandoned tunnel. Quint is to stay in Corrick’s room and order food periodically to make it seem like they’re both still in there.
