"Viscount Marrs," Elara said quietly. "I made a deal with her. She agreed to neutrality in exchange for me not exposing her assassination funding. She's breaking that agreement."
"Or someone made her a better offer," Duke Romian said. "The First Consort, probably. Or Eleana, trying to salvage her position after her mother's arrest."
"Doesn't matter. Marrs broke our agreement. That voids the arrangement entirely." Elara made notes. "After we save Port Crestfall, I'm destroying all three of them. Veltri, Hadrian, Marrs. Complete elimination."
"That's a lot of enemies to make."
"They made themselves my enemies by attacking my city. I'm just responding appropriately." She continued planning. "The beast knights arrive in two days. Duke Romian's forces arrive in six. The question is what we do from here in the capital while the battle happens three hundred miles away."
