Late at night after telling Isabelle he must leave, Connor and Cavanaugh are caught by the King's guards who arrest them after a short fight. the next morning, Cavanaugh is executed by beheading. Connor receives his friend's Quickening and then escapes while the guards are too stunned and scared to try and stop him. He leaves Europe for Asia.
