When starting the quest, Eveli will ask you to come with her to Riften to deliver the book she recovered from Black Drake Villa to Farrul's intermediary Renna. When you arrive at the Riften Mages Guild hall, Eveli will ask you to talk to Renna in her stead. You can then approach Renna while Eveli hides nearby.
:"Yes? Is there something I can help you with?"
:I represent Eveli Sharp-Arrow. She wants to turn over the item you sent her to recover.
:''"Eveli? She found Farrul's book? Oh, that's wonderful news! But why is Eveli standing way over there? And why are you talking to me instead of her? What's this all about, stranger?"
:When Eveli found out that you hadn't been completely honest with her, she decided to be cautious.
:"Not completely honest? Just what are you implying? Is Eveli attempting to change the terms of our deal? Farrul offered a fair price for what he asked her to do!"
:We know that Farrul Lupus was Emperor Leovic's steward.
:"Quiet! If certain ears heard those words, our lives wouldn't be worth a horker's blister! I suppose it's time for Eveli to meet Farrul. We have a house here in Riften, around the corner from the bank. Just knock two times or he won't respond."

If you speak to her again before leaving, Renna will repeat where to go to find Farrul.
:"Go to our house and talk to Farrul. He'll explain everything. Or, at least as much as he's able. I'll be along shortly. Just remember to knock two times and only two times. That's our code. Farrul won't respond unless he hears exactly two knocks."''

When you arrive at Renna's House and knock, you can hear Farrul weakly call for help. Once inside, you will find the place turned upside down and Farrul dead. Upon examining the body, you will find the  . Renna will then arrive:
:Renna: "Farrul? No, no, no!"
: 
:Eveli Sharp-Arrow: ''"Oh, Renna. I'm so sorry."

You can then talk to Renna, to see if she has any idea what happened.
:"Oh, Farrul! I told him to forget about the past, but did he listen? No!"
:Farrul Lupus was murdered. Does this have something to do with Emperor Leovic's secret?
:"You … you … know about that?  Maybe. Probably. Farrul never told me a lot about his time serving the emperor, but I knew it was on his mind recently. That's why he hired Eveli. He said he wanted to make things right."
:So who do you think killed him? I found this sheet of paper on his body.
:"A sheet of … oh gods! That's the sign of the Dark Brotherhood! They assassinated my poor Farrul! And all because of something that should have stayed buried with the damn Longhouse Emperors."
:Tell us what you know about this secret. Everything we found so far led us here.
:"Then I guess you've reached a dead end. Farrul never told me much. Just that he needed the book he sent Eveli to find. That he had to correct a terrible mistake. He also mentioned that Leovic told him things, but he never got into specifics."
:I'm sorry Farrul Lupus was killed, but what should Eveli do with the book he sent her to find?

You can continue talking to Renna or leave the conversation and return as it starts from the line below:
:"I don't care about the book. I want nothing to do with it. If the Dark Brotherhood thinks I know anything, they'll come after me. And you as well. You should forget about Farrul and Leovic and that book. Forget about them and go far, far away."
:You said Leovic told Farrul things but you don't know specifics. Anything you can remember may help.
:"You know … things! State secrets, I suppose. Hidden dreams, wild desires. Farrul helped raise the emperor. They were close. Or as close as the most powerful man in the world and his steward can be. Once, Farrul mentioned another secret."
:Did this secret involve something called the Four Ambitions?
:"Ambitions? No, I don't recall any mention of that. Farrul didn't say much. Just referred to something as the secret of the Longhouse Emperors. I got the feeling it had something to do with Daedra worship. And some sort of weapons. That's all I know."''
