Quentin and Isabelle find refuge in an isolated convent. The place seems peaceful, almost out of this world, and the nuns welcome them with kindness mixed with concern. Isabelle discovers a place where, for the first time in a long time, no one tells her what to do. Quentin, meanwhile, observes his surroundings, aware that his pursuers are never far away. Their presence eventually attracts attention: men lurk around, questions circulate, and the calm of the convent begins to crack.

Quentin and Isabelle come across the group of gypsies led by Hayraddin, whom Quentin had saved. They receive a cold welcome: they are tolerated, but nothing more. Isabelle discovers a harsh world, without hierarchy or courtesy, while Quentin has to deal with Hayraddin, whose help is real but never reassuring. Their escape continues in an atmosphere of contained tension, where every move can tip the balance to the good side... or the bad.

Quentin finally confronts the Burgundian forces to prevent Isabelle's abduction. Tension mounts around the decisive duel against the Boar of the Ardennes, a feared brute whose loyalty lies with the highest bidder.

Louis XI, satisfied, seals the political outcome... and hints at a place for Quentin at his side.
