Banquet for nobles (11)

But along with this understanding look, there was a look of difficulty that also appeared on Viscount Henry's face.

It was as if there was something that he was struggling with.

And if I had to guess what that was, it was most likely that he was struggling because of the risk that came with this decision.

There was no doubting the benefits that would come with accepting this post, but it would also make him a target. Once he became a target, he and his town would be exposed to danger from other people.

If this plan succeeded, he would be one of the highest ranking people as Count Zwein's aide, so there was no doubt that the other nobles would want to take him down to advance their own positions.

After a long silence, Viscount Henry turned to look at his wife, but he saw that she just shook her head in response.

It was as if she was saying, "Just do what you think is right."
