Interlude 5 is the seventh chapter and only interlude of Conviction.
Plot
Joseph gathers the courage to try and free the woman he loved, Courtney Canfield, from her father on the accusation that he was hoarding her as he did his treasures. The resulting conflict ended with his Familiar delivering a fatal stab but Mr. Canfield summoned Conquest and allowed himself to be subsumed by him, leaving Joseph unable to fulfill his oath of killing him and was made Forsworn. He was then given the option of servitude to Conquest, allowing him to marry Courtney, or being at the mercy of every Other without the basic protections.
Years in Conquest's service made him bitter and abusive to his son and wife in an effort to drive them away or kill him, but it came to naught.
Isadora works out Matthew Attwells plan for escaping Conquest. Sadly, she admits that the plan won't work.
Fell drops Blake, Rose, Evan, and some Goblins off at the abandoned factory, then hastily leaves to prepare for whatever outcome Blake takes. He arrives at his apartment, where his mother and niece are waiting for him. Emily tells him about her trips and friends before getting ready for bed. Jaclyn discusses with Fell about possible explanations for Conquest's treatment of Blake. As they finish up, Fell is teleported to Conquest's home to help coax Rose into betraying their plans.
