Having a good conversation
Padre Bianco stopped smiling for a moment and stared at Abbot Eurico, he felt Emery and Levi's gazes on his face, as if they were measuring his reaction.
Abbot Eurico's opaque eyes showed no emotion and he still had the gentle smile on his face, Father Bianco had to look away. For some strange reason, he felt immense pressure as he continued to stare into the abbot's blind eyes.
"A dangerous prisoner has escaped from my older brother's castle. His men hunted this prisoner until they reached the abbey. That's why my brother asked me to come here. He wants me to look around to see if the criminal is hiding somewhere in the abbey"
Emery was surprised to hear this, again this was not in the original plot, but the book was not omnipotent as it was narrated from the point of view of three characters, Arabeth, Rutger, and Giovanni. So if these three characters weren't interested or weren't actually present in the scene, that sort of thing wouldn't be in the book.
