A Victim of Treachery
- So now Edward is back with the thieves.
- One of the thieves, Hugo, doesn't like Edward so much, since he ruined his begging gig.
- So once the thieves have their hands on Edward again, Hugo starts to mess with Edward.
- Edward being Edward, he's not having it. He and Hugo start fighting, and he wins... since he's actually a trained swordsman.
- Hugo is not happy. He wants vengeance, and a few days later, he gets his opportunity.
- Hugo tries to put a kind of fake skin sore on Edward, but one of the other thieves stops him.
- Since it's now decided that Edward is not a very good beggar, the head of the thieves assigns him to the stealing division of this troop.
- Hugo now has the perfect way to get his revenge on Edward: he'll get him thrown in jail.
- Hugo steals a bundle from a woman, throws it in Edward's arms, and sets him up.
- The woman accuses Edward of stealing her bundle. He denies it, but a whole mob of people starts to gather around him.
- It's not until Miles appears on the scene that Edward is saved again.
