"Exactly." Tita felt ashamed.
Siltova had to support Raymond because Natalia was within the circle, so they wanted to protect what was precious to them. Now, they had no reason to support Raymond because she wasn't there anymore.
"Thus, Raymond had just lost the strong support from Siltova." Conclude Brice in the end. "What a rollercoaster ride." He mumbled, unintentionally mimicking Elizebeth's way of speaking.
"That was why they tried everything they could to expand their influence."
Brice thought alone after listening to that reason. Currently, the largest support the nobles got was from two families. Siltova and *Murphy household.
Murphy was Tita's family name.
Duke Tita and now Marchioness Natalia.
As the Murphy household exercised their neutrality, the Siltova household seemed to lean toward King Jack. It created a dispute between Raymond and Siltova as they supported two different kings.
