When she is not chosen by any of the people who had come to meet her, she was allowed to reside at the school until she found someone who would take her in.

They three leave the next day in Davin's carriage, and as they travel they talk about the identity that Brienna would take to protect her real identity. They agree upon the name Amadine and Davin proposes that Brienna should say she studied knowledge at Augustin House.

Before their conversation was over, three bandits attempt to rob them, and temporarily take them hostage, before Davin murders all three of them. The three quickly travel to Davin's house and as David takes care of the horses, Davin introduces Brienna to Agnes Cote and Pierre Faure as Adamine Jourdain.

Rian Allenach suggests that he goes in his place, since he was getting suspicious of Brienna and her intentions. Brendan quickly shuts Rian down, and allows Sean to show the two women around. Merei try's to get more information about what was happening from Brienna, but she shuts Merei down because she didn't want the girl to be possibly injured. Brienna would start the horse that Merei was riding so Sean would be distracted.
