In fact, when Nicil discovered the unusual behaviour of Smulder, he already had some guesses.
When Simon was playing coy with all of his efforts, Nicil already knew what Smulder planned to do.
After all, as a deacon of the Sanctuary, he was very clear of the current state of the Sanctuary, though it was because of such an understanding that he was shocked by Ohara's betrayal.

Nicil could hear the fighting noises outside the room but he pretended to not hear them. He was staring at Ohara's delicate face, asking his question in a dry voice.
Nicil was puzzled. Ohara was one of the Archdeacon of the Sanctuary other than the current Holy Knight Smulder. She was the most respectful and had the most authoritative of them all.
