The Intricate Manipulation in the Capital

As Lyle settled into his new identity as Sir Arthur Lonar, he meticulously crafted his interactions with other nobles. He attended social events, engaged in polite conversation, and strategically built connections with those who could potentially sway the political landscape.

Meanwhile, Prince Sied continued his diplomatic efforts, working to solidify alliances and strengthen his position among the nobility. The intricate dance of politics unfolded, with each move carefully calculated to secure support without revealing the true intentions behind the scenes.

Lyle and Sied made sure to not make contact for now. It would be too suspicious and there was a chance that Iodel or someone else from the Song family would be able to notice that something was up if a mere Baron that was given the title without being given any fiefs to rule over yet was on good terms with the Crown Prince.
