Between Love and Hate

The Eighteenth Day of October, 1886

Shaken and angry by what he’s found in the Blackwall Yards shipping warehouse, Galahad decides it’s time to get to the bottom of United India Company’s unholy plan. The obvious place to start is the very agency founded to prevent just such a thing: the Council of Knights.

The confrontations begin just outside the Council chambers, where Lady Igraine accuses Galahad of shady dealings at Whitechapel. (She calls it “some kind of clandestine infiltration,” a nice British way of saying “sneaking around like a thief.”) When Igraine softens a bit and asks him to share what he knows, Galahad hardens and tells her to back off.
