CMU Chapter 55

Chapter Fifty-Five: Wine and Cigars

In Aprelêu, Poleen Juvukis, as Kontzulê Polênu Juvilêus, returns to the Rainbow and Swan after Nedrich nâ Hilêômbrâ’s death and Berjer Fendênus’s arrest, parting with Hovêen tû Sedlômu and ordering Gibelê dû Nindi-vilu’s death for suspected betrayal. Meeting Nordris tû Remeshêr (Humeric tû Yulêz), she returns the cigar box, absolving her of its burdens, as he admits Ezeldu’s death was an unintended consequence of his plan to analyze donu-honêsh. At the Soaring Falcon, Infoduhû, the Crying Man, reveals the Boborun scroll as a fake, crafted to incite war against the Boboru by alleging a donu-poisoning plot, likely by the Compunêu Trade Consortium to avenge Compunêu’s fall. Shemêu’s profitable trades of the scroll, from Poleen to Captain Galortêu, suggest a deeper scheme, possibly involving the Nomustên’s sinking. Poleen suspects players like Fendênus, Nicôdî tû Dêidontâ, or Kontzûl Emerotô know who seeks war, while Konlul Nobûn’s pro-war stance raises doubts. Delivering the Written Jewels to Emerotô, Poleen secures Notoholis access, fulfilling her vengeance against nâ Hilêômbrâ and Fendênus, aligning with Emerotô’s yostul ambitions, as the Boboru’s Lultûhol blockade looms and the Compunêu’s motives remain elusive.
