Achillas's Slip

When Anoon had at first proposed that they snitch on their commander or even defect to the other side, Ser Robert's heart had skipped a beat with trepidation. But he did not shout to scold the man or even softly object.

Because he knew from their long correspondence together that saying such things for the man was par for the course. 

The guy had a lot of ideas, some even very dangerous ones, which he liked to occasionally share with him. 

Such as him arguing that commoners like them were the majority and so they should get a say in how they were governed, not by some illusive divine right to rule.

Which was the highest level of blasphemy as far as the Margraves or the Sybarsians or even the whole known world as a whole was concerned.

And hearing that for the first time, Ser Robert had sworn that he would hang the man himself if he ever said this out aloud again. 

So when compared to that, plotting to just defect was very tame.
