This was not an easy question, therefore, Benjamin was forced to think carefully— if he spoke it out, how would things play out in the end?
Firstly, the king’s decision had to be seen.
If he got furious and immediately tore down all amicability with the Mages Freemasonry, that would definitely cause an upheaval. The Mages Freemasonry still had its influence. If Aldrich could inspire most of the mages in Ferelden, it was even possible to bring the entire kingdom to ruins.
Of course, a person who could be king would not be so impulsive. The bigger possibility would be the king acting as though he was being kept in the dark on the outside, but was secretly undermining the Mages Freemasonry. Both parties then fell into battle in an unknown place. As for who would emerge victorious, it was very difficult to predict.
The point was, who should Benjamin help?
