No, to begin with, it was all her fault. If not for her being so exceptional as to build her own merchant guild and threaten his position all these years, he could have grown his faction much bigger than what it was now.
'If only she had died in that forest all those years ago, I wouldn't have fallen out of grace like this' Alstin cursed inwardly.
A couple of years ago when he found an excuse to send his sister to the remote city of Moutnmend, he had planned to get rid of her than by sending assassins.
Jeeves who was working for him in the shadows, reported her every action to him. However, to his dismay, not only did she return alive from the trip, he lost his important pawn and the Cerberus broke all ties with him ever since then.
To make matters worse, now there were even rumours going on about her being alive. Even after death, she was making things difficult for him. As much as he hated her for ruining his plans, he couldn't say all that to Lucas.
