Chapter Twelve: Entering the Path_2

The official document from the Kingdom Star Chamber Court to strip Boninski of his noble title and status had reached Jazair, but it sank without a trace, as expected by Duke Philip. Leon had fallen, and in the short term, it could not be regained. Boninski had in fact lost his territory, and the revocation of his nobility was only a matter of time. Even if the kingdom intended to protect him to strike at Philip himself, he could not save his title. Surrendering territory to the mob was entirely different from losing territory in a foreign war, it was unforgivable, and the kingdom dared not set such a precedent.
