I found the Phoenix Feather Cap!

Master Shí Hóu, I found one of the Four Treasures! It was indeed in the auction and I managed to get it back. It does not matter how I got it, but I do own a great debt to a few people I've been traveling with these past few days. Though our plan didn't go as intended, Kaerwyn still tried to help me the best he could and he got wounded whilsts doing so, so I feel I owe him for his troubles and pain. For Eldove I owe for getting the item out of there when things got difficult and Halla helped me out of a pickle, though she said we're even now for the staff she got earlier that day in exchange for the Starstone boulder.
 
I've had trust issues ever since the Four Treasures got stolen, but I feel like these are people I can trust.
 
And we were approached by the son and heir apparent of the Merchant King of Fourways, Vincent Durante. Apparently he is worried about his father's safety, since he has been receiving death threats that if he doesn't abdicate by his birthday, which is tomorrow as of writing this letter, terrible things will happen to him and his family. So Vincent wanted to hire us to protect his father, apparently by recommendations of Maester Auron.
 
So, we did a little digging and found out that the Troupe which is supposed to perform during the birthday celebrations has been having some trouble with its members; accidents, illness and whatnot. But Eldove and Kaerwyn managed to get in, in lead roles no less. So they will be our eyes and ears on the inside while the rest of us will be trying to keep the Merchant King safe during the play. We even decided that I will make an antitoxin for him just in case there might be an attempt at poisoning him, instead of a more cloak and DAGGER approach. But we'll see what tomorrow brings.
 
Kon.
