Summary #3 of The Falconer's Knot

Chapter 11-15 (pg.141-203)

The two grey sisters visited and Sister Lucia came with message for Chiara from Abbess. In Chiara's place, she got a letter from Isabella and it said that she wanted to release her from novitiate. She didn't know what to do. She would be happy to devote her life to God with Veronica and Abbess, but the other part wants to get away and live the life of an almost free woman. She knew that Silvano would end up leaving this place too. When she imagine about her future husband, Silvano appears in her mind. She asked for some time to think.

At Silvano's place, Brother Taddeo who was also the assistant librarian, was whispering about something to Matteo about Anselmo. Silvano heard the word Isabella and Domenico and he realized that Anselmo's secret was out. Brother Landolfo summoned Silvano when he was drunk. Taddeo, Matteo and Silvano went out with him, and Anselmo followed, aware that he was getting attention from other brothers.

Landolfo lay down and the yellow liquid came out from his mouth, and was thrashing around. The Colour Master concluded that he was dying by poison. Simone came to tell Abbess about Landolfo's death and Chiara heard from him. And other friaries was talking about how Anselmo was the only one who knew about what's wrong with Landolfo and Silvano objected and defended Anselmo. He told Anselmo that others know about him and Isabella's past.

At Isabella's place, Umberto was furious about her appointing Abbot. He said that he'll investigate him and other friaries and left the room. Bonsignore mounted a guard on the convent and Silvano was the first watch. Anselmo and Silvano kept guard on the convent gate. They tried to think who would be the killer. Umberto came to Abbot to investigate with Minister General. Now Abbot has another worry. Umberto knew about Domenico or Anselmo, Isabella's lover. He thinks that Anselmo is the killer, tricked Isabella, and he seek for a revenge for his brother.
