Bordeaux la Gironde accuses English bankers of aiding Don Carlos, alleging English support for insurrection and plans to dominate the Balearic Canary islands and Mediterranean coastal zones.

Philip travels to Amsterdam to join a Dutch voyage and reveal a life changing secret to Amine. A priest warns of danger as they plan marriage, yet Amine steadfastly supports him. They marry after Philip secures his father’s consent and the guilders, with festive bells in Terneuse.
In October a peculiar Dutch pilot Tam Schriften visits Amine and Philip Vanderdecken. The one-eyed, pale man claims to spirit Philip away to a watery grave, promising doom but met with Amine’s defiant reply about fate and death.
Philip seals a steel chain for the relic, pays the captain, and boards the Ter Schilling as apprentice. On departure day he parts from Amine, journeys to Amsterdam, secures gear, and meets Captain Kloots and first mate Hillebrant on deck as the voyage begins. The Indian fleet lies at anchor while report continues.
