===Plots In Castle Amber===

Hector gets a trump call from Bleys -- whom no one has heard of in a while, though he had contacted Alexandra about Brand.  Bleys tells Hector that he is still after the throne (and not planning on joining the party), but feels that the bigger problem is Brand.  He reports that Brand killed (?) Martin, bleeding him over the Pattern, and was captured by Fiona.  

Around the same time, Federico interrogates the agent of Chaos whom Alexandra and he captured.  The agent, who introduces himself as Samuka, offers to help kill the Lord of Hendrake for them in return for his life and freedom.  Federico then contacts Hector and Alexandra to consider his offer.  

Janica talks to her father Eric, plotting about what is to be done about rescuing Oberon.  Eric seems resigned to giving up his position as king when Oberon returns, but is willing to do it nonetheless.
