	Pretending to be only a scholar, Aurek visited Richemulot and was granted permission to explore the many old wrecked [[house]]s of that land. In truth, he hoped to find some long lost magical [[spell]] or bauble there to free Natalia. He told nobody about this secret, even Edik. As far as what everyone else knew, Aurek made sure only he and the persistent haunt dogging him in every [[reflection]] knew.

As far as what everyone else knew, Aurek made sure only he and the persistent haunt dogging him in every [[reflection]] knew.

	Because Dmitri had inadvertently attracted the [[lust\|interest]] of [[Ivana Boritsi]], ~~his~~ sisters insisted Aurek take his younger brother with him, and would not allow him to refuse. They also voiced the hope that as adults, the brothers might finally come to understand one another better. In Richemulot, their estrangement only grew, fueled by Aurek's arrogance and secretiveness on the one hand and Dmitri's angry naiveté on the other. Dmitri also fell in with the wrong crowd: [[Louise Renier]] pretended to love him and [[Yves Milette's clique\|a small clique of the Renier family]] pretended to be his friends. Ultimately, Louise used Dmitri to discover the nature of Aurek in the hopes of using him as a weapon against Jacqueline. Louise even [[manipulated]] Dmitri into stealing Natalia's statuette and delivering it to her. From there, Louise [[extorted]] Aurek into helping her [[kill]] Jacqueline. To Aurek's intense distress, the [[wererat]] pointed out that he had practically driven Dmitri into her arms by giving him nothing but hostility and secrecy, when his younger brother had been desperate for his approval.

Aurek no longer saw or heard the spirit that had been haunting him, but his grief and loss had prematurely aged him and left him nigh-unresponsive, possibly even [[insane]]; when last seen, he was carrying a box with Natalia's porcelain shards and Dmitri had to help him get into a carriage. Jacqueline [[exile]]d both brothers from Richemulot, but provided them transport and safe passage to the [[border]].		Louise' plot failed, but things ended up disastrously for everyone.
