Extra

You steel yourself and step once more into Nawfal's residence. Outside, Asal is already in position, ready to slip in unnoticed.

That frigid servant leads you again into the parlor, where Nawfal greets you with open disdain. He doesn't even try to hide his impatience.

You must keep him talking... anything to buy Asal a few more minutes.
Escalation
In a flash, you recall several unresolved court debates between you. What began as a shallow distraction soon turns into a genuine quarrel. Nawfal's sharp tongue cuts deep, and before you know it, tempers flare, voices rise, and an expensive-looking goblet shatters on the floor. By the time you're thrown out of the residence, Nawfal's lips are trembling with rage. Well, that's the power of playing away from home. You catch sight of Asal lurking around the corner, and only then remember why you came in the first place. Suppressing a prickling sense of guilt, you make a hasty retreat from the scene of the crime.

The Plot Exposed
You and Nawfal know each other far too well. Your evasive chatter only deepens his suspicion. He narrows his eyes, then suddenly rises from his seat. You follow close behind, just in time to see Asal being restrained by a guard, hands twisted behind his back, the stolen book lying at his feet. Nawfal casts you a cold glance, lips curling into a smile that doesn't reach his eyes. Then, with a flick of his hand, he orders his servants to escort you out.
