"You want to... destroy the Lautes?"
Leonard narrowed his eyes even more after I told him what I wanted.
"Do you even understand what you're saying?"
"Yes."
He leaned back in a relaxed manner, kept his eyes on me, and spoke in an... authoritative tone.
"Then we will report what you have learned to the kingdom, Aiden. The solution is that quick and simple."
I didn't react, but continued in my usual tone as I straightened slightly in my armchair.
"I want this to be confidential."
"And I think that if it's confidential, whatever plan you have... it's going to fall apart in our hands."
His eyes flickered briefly to his wife, then back to me.
