Owen Bertram could not help but frown. Sophia and he had merely shared an employer-employee relationship, but through their many instances of cooperation, some rapport had developed. He couldn't just abandon her.
However, Sophia was a veteran of this lifestyle and when she said something like "The Harrison Clan runs deep," it was mostly to boost her own value out of fear of being abandoned.
Of course, local clans like these had a profound heritage and vast influence. But for the Harrison Clan to claim possession of the Fifth Great Domain, Owen doubted it.
When it came to their "grand scale," they were referring to their size. Most regional clans lacked high-ranking battle power.
Owen pondered for a moment, it seemed he must take a trip to Black-water County.
In fact, when Owen first sent Sophia to investigate York Harrison, his intentions weren't entirely above board. From their operation in Casterly County, the advantage to be gained was a precious mine.
