His wife having given birth to a baby visibly not his Louis takes drastic action to keep it a secret though Philippe finds out the truth. Philippe also puts himself forward to defeat Spanish forces in Flanders to prove his worth to the king and Louis, still enjoying sex with Philippe's wife, approves his gay brother's proposal. Louis and Marchal believe that courtier Montcourt is the traitor in the Spaniards' employ and aim to publicly humiliate him by confiscating his lands but Louis is well aware that there are other enemies out to kill him.
