Allea slowly rotated her goblet, her eyes wandering over Neonidas. Thoughtful, calculating, and as dangerous as always… She knew exactly how he thought by now. Before making a move, Neonidas weighed every possibility, analyzed the odds, and only acted when he was certain of victory. She could already see Draevos's downfall coming.
"So, what's your plan?" Allea asked, her voice soft yet hiding a sharp curiosity.
Neonidas smiled faintly. "Oswald is investigating Draevos's illegal trade routes. If these routes are indeed supplying weapons to the rebels, getting the emperor's approval will be effortless. But if Draevos is more cautious than we anticipated… then we'll have to add a few creative touches to the information we have."
Allea tilted her head slightly. "Are you talking about forging evidence?"
Neonidas sighed. "Forged or not, it doesn't matter. The number of people who believe in it measures truth."
