"I do not believe one of our men suspected there was any danger here. Not even my father spoke of it." "Your father does not always speak of his fears.

With father, mother, brother, lover, sister, friend all acting as betrayers of their own kith and kin, Apleon soon learned much that he needed to know as to the fugitives.
