I don't think the specifics come up in conversation at any point. Most narration seems to focus on AB-CIR's dubious employer (Lord Hedgehog) and anything on AB himself seems reserved for hinting at his connection to Irina.

The waiter just kind of off-handedly tells the patron that AB messed up and ended up in a situation where he had to give up the glass and seek refuge in Lioness with Lord Hedgehog.

I inferred that it had to do with the Marlon royal family and that the Glass ended up in their hands, which could've explained how Arte and Pollo got their hands on the Glass in the first place (while Banica was living with Carlos). Unfortunately, chapter 2 is the portion I have the most trouble reading so I haven't seen any hints to that being the case.
