The Knyazmaker)Objectives:
- Find Marat
Starting Location: A Closer Look
You must complete this quest within 16 time segments of starting it, or it will automatically fail.
Find Marat
Marat’s location is marked, south of Svartrau City near the woods (if you already started Rise at Dawn by giving him Aurelias’s book then he’ll have that objective mark on his exact location).
When you encounter Marat he is by himself.
You want to pick the following options to make sure that you earn the trophy/achievement 
The Manumit:
- May I join you, then?
- I’m worried about you. What’s wrong?
- I know what this is about.
- Ascar is your father.
- Why?
- Hey. Nothing you say can change the way I see you.
After this the next dialogue determines whether you engage in the romance scene with Marat. Engaging in this isn’t required for any progression and doesn’t further affect the ending or other quests in significant ways, so accepting or rejecting him is personal preference.
Regardless of your choice, you complete the rest of the conversation with Marat and complete the quest.
