Lord Benwick moved towards the table with the map, it was a magic aided map, capable of showing every physical feature vividly. It functioned like a mobile screen touch screen, you could zoom in and out.
He zoomed in on the Windrider and Silberuss estates, "Is there a possibility that these two families are working together? It seems like most prominent families have been secretly searching for the shards under the nose of the royal family. The one who wields the sword, will rule the world, it could not be more clear what their intentions are.
However, can we trust in whispers coming from the camp of the crown princess, she owns the restaurant so all the information that goes in and out is likely to be filtered by her.
If we are not careful, we might be used as Sigrid's sword to eliminate all the families that are threats to the Thorin's. The only way to balance power is to have many strong noble houses, while they check and tear each other apart, the royal family remains strong."
