Lady Miranda's Grievances

The fallout from the meeting would last the following few days, during which Lord Janus tried hard not to feel too frustrated over his wasted efforts.

He had taken a great risk when contacting the northern, knowing if even a single word was somehow to leak of this, not only would his own reputation go permanently down the drain, but much more than that, Lady Miranda would lose even the last bit of support she had left.

Most of the nobles here did not take colluding with those natives lightly so it could never come to light until the very near the end.

And as luck would favor him, Lord Janus did succeed in accomplishing that, forming a secret, rudimentary bridge of contact between the two.

Only to have his lady refuse refuse to cross it.

This naturally made the old man very bitter.

But in defense of Lady Miranda, the situation was also not clear cut for her.
