Once she understood what Percivus wanted, Eleanor's decisions became very simple. He was looking for names and he didn't care whether the people Eleanor named were part of any grand conspiracy against the Lothian Marquis or not.
In one world, perhaps in the world Percivus lived in, he was offering her an opportunity. She could betray the confidence of people who had confessed their wrongs to her, or rattle off a list of names of people who were normally beyond the reach of justice. Percivus would accuse them of taking part in the plot against Marquis Bors and the wicked people who Eleanor named would finally be punished for their crimes.
Perhaps to an Inquisitor who often found truly wicked men to be beyond his reach when they were shielded by wealth and titles, this would be an appealing offer. After all, without the backing of the Marquis, men like the barons of the march or their families were all but untouchable.
