The captain stomped his foot on the Black Guard's head, "Take off your boots and underclothes and give me your hands."

Rostei was behind the captain with various servants and nobles. She was grinning, amused by the Black Guard's pain. No one noticed her though.

(Time for plot twist!)

The Black Guard looked up at the captain and smiled, even though his head hurt like hell and he was groggy from the blow. Special orders were given in secret. He carried them out. Before anything more could be done, he vanished, the ebony stars that Sorin threw embedding themselves in the floor where the Black Guard once kneeled.

He wasn't actually there as an informant or just surrendering. He was scouting. Corentin's orders, after a contact told them the whore who betrayed them made it to Solitude.

He saw the girl. Time to report in.

Sorin picked up the throwing stars, looked at the captain and said "I told you not to trust them and think carefully. The one who disappeared would have made a great actor. By the way, is anyone in the Blue Palace linked to the Black Guard, as a friend or enemy? They wouldn't come for no reason. Two possibilities, there is an assassin in your midst and he or she is not carrying out a plot, or a target was spotted."

(Sorin is not stupid. He puts two and two together pretty fast and he knows the Black Guard from Cyrodiil.)

The Black Guard reappeared before Corentin and Ariana, who were in a safe house. He said "she is in the Blue Palace. I have Marked the area and it is linked to the two recall scrolls."

"Good work. Get yourself patched up. At least we know the bitch is in Solitude. We need to decoy her out. I have already hired an assassin to go after the girl. She was the one who killed Fulvia. She has to die."

(Corentin is a bit crazy after all the crap he's been through, aka killing lost of his former comrades)
