Protect Arkansas (1) The First March

"You've done too well, Lyan. Even I'm shocked at how smoothly everything is," Erich said, his tone a mix of admiration and relief.

Lyan shrugged, his expression impassive. "You underestimated your own forces. They were more than capable; they just needed proper direction."

The reason for Lyan's versatile movement is that he's still no one. Even if he's already promised a great thing by Erich, the fact that he's no one with no obligation is a great advantage. Killing the nobles and other sorts of actions, with his great stealth skills, and his ability to make the right calls, there is no single proof that could lead to the death of the prince. It's a totally advantageous position for the royal family and royal faction.
