Chapter 6-10(pg.77-140)

Everyone talked about the murder. Abbot questioned them one by one about the night. Brother Taddeo mentioned that Silvano didn't come straight to dormitory after the dinner. Everyone spread rumor about Silvano and suspected him. Silvano felt guilty even if he's not the culprit. He was accepted and treated kindly. Silvano answered Abbot that he went to Anselmo. He didn't tell that Anselmo wasn't there when he visited, but he was sure that he was innocent. Isabella received news from sanctuary. When she heard the news, she went silent. She wished that her husband wouldn't come back, but now she feel bad. She told him that she'll bring her husband's body.

Silvano saw Father Bonsignore and Anselmo escorting sisters and recognized Chiara. He felt his heart racing. Fazio visited Pool Clares and he met Silvano. They went to his shed. Mother Elena, the Abbess, brought Chiara to lead Isabella. Isabella saw Ubaldo's body and Chiara explained to her nicely therefore she won't get scared. Isabella appreciated that and had conversation with her, about her life and first love, Domenico. She liked Chiara and brought her to a discussion with Abbess and Abbot. They suggested her to ride the horse and Silvano accompanying him. Isabella wanted Chiara to accompany her too. There Silvano met Chiara again. He tried not to look at Chira but couldn't. He tried talking to her, calling her Sister Orsola, and she told him that she likes Chiara better. They talked and then the conversation went to why Silvano came to sanctuary. He explained to her, about his problem, and she felt jealous when she heard that he liked Tommaso's wife. They reached the place then Isabella shouted "Domenico!" when she saw Anselmo. Anselmo was Domenico, her first love. He was shocked and turned away from them after seeing Isabella.

Angelica tried to take Tommaso's money but the law said that wife without children must have mundualdus to manage the money. Tommaso's nephews wanted her to choose one of them. She appreciated when Baron sent Gervasio. She persuaded him to ask his father to be her mundualdus. Gervasio also faked to Baron and now he has an excuse to visit Angelica. They went out for business then Angelica saw Silvano. She ignored it because she thought he disappeared. Isabella asked Silvano about Anselmo and changed the topic when he asked her about them. Then they talked about Chiara. At night, Slivano took a rest at balcony then he saw Angelica with Gervasio and Gervasio's father, Vincenzo de' Oddini. He froze and went back inside the room. He couldn't understand why Angelica was with Gervasio. He knew nothing about the real killer too, and if his father find the real killer, he knew that he would contact him, but he couldn't wait knowing nothing. He fell asleep then he had a nightmare about 2 women in black veils came to him, pointing at him with bloody hands. He woke up with shout.

Chiara and Silvano met in Basilica. They talked about Isabella and Silvano realized about Isabella and Anselmo's situation. Silvano talked to Anselmo about Isabella. Anselmo told him everything, about his feeling towards her, and that Aboot knows this too. He told that he had temptation to go to Ubaldo's room but he went for a walk. Anselmo said that one of the friaries can be murderer but he don't want to believe. Silvano suggested getting help from Isabella and Chiara. During Ubaldo's funeral, Isabella met Umberto, Ubaldo's brother. Umberto said that he wants to be her mundualdu. She thought about it and she fell asleep. She was woken up by her maid that woman called Angelica wishes to see her. Angelica heard that the riches merchant has died recently so she went to visit his wife, Isabella. Angelica told her about her husband, her situation, and advised her about mundualdus. Silvano felt uncomfortable with an attention from friaries. Abbot called him. He told him about his feeling and Abbot comforted him. Brother Gregorio came with the letter for Abbot. Silvano left. Abbot opened letter and found that Isabella wants him to be her mundualdus.
