Lord Burrhen (2/2)

"So indeed, these people do have connections to nobility." Burrhen nodded, his gaze now focused on Zainah. She was rather beautiful, he noticed. In fact, she was more beautiful than any of the noble heirs he had seen in the city. 

"Since she is a noble, we can negotiate with her. As long as they are willing to not involve themselves in our plans, we do not need to make enemies of them."

If Sett and his party were willing to keep it secret, that was enough. Commoners might be unwilling to keep such a tremendous thing a secret, but nobles wouldn't be so hard to keep in check.

At least, they could threaten the noble houses using the Pharaoh's name!

If the commoners of the world learned of the Pharaoh's great goal through Burrhen, he could forget his head. So he had to be careful with the whole thing.

But if other nobles were the cause of it, Burrhen would just have to explain himself.
