Prepricano Po Glavama ~repack~ - Hajduk U Beogradu

This chapter is a masterclass in irony. The elite compliment Vuk on his "authentic costume." A general’s wife asks him if his wolf skin is wolf or fox fur. Vuk remains silent, drinking šljivovica from a silver flask. The chapter ends with a : Vuk spots the corrupt knez who exiled him, dancing a waltz. Vuk places his hand on his handžar (dagger).

He is illiterate in a city that worships paper. In Chapter 2, Vuk finds the tavern. But instead of a fellow outlaw, he finds a spy. The contact has been arrested.
