Chapitre 122: The Plan - II

"What will we be doing about Baron Harrels?" Gabriel asked, after composing himself a bit.

"Well, we know that he has a good relationship with Viscount Drew and that they have quite a few business exchanges as well. But officially they are still loyal to us and are thus part of our territory.

I reckon that the Viscount may be thinking of using them as spies in a way or sow discord among us. This is still a hypothesis and is not confirmed but something like this happening seems likely.

Thus before the Viscount gets the chance to do that, we eliminate the problem before it. Now that we have Bethany Harrels as our prisoner, we can forever anchor Baron Harrels to us. What I want is to set up terms that will force Viscount to rethink his relationship with the baron, thus eliminating one of his potential pawns.
