Yesterday I made my move against Marin.

Knowing how important Celly is for her I used their relationship to force both of them to become my citizens.

The most I could offer them was a different fate for Celly who was to become a slave or be sentenced to hanging if we were to take her back to Licerce as the pirates' captain.

While there was a non-zero chance that Marin could protect her by buying her and using the Kingdom I could guarantee her safety by hiding and protecting her there. I could also deal with the biggest problem of Isabella's witnessing the whole deal by simply convincing her to turn a blind eye.

With this, we decided to pretend that Celly was never on that ship.

Of course, there was a price for both of them.

In this case, I wanted both to swear loyalty to me and accept a [Special Role] within the Kingdom that would basically strip them of most of their rights, almost ensuring they would never be able to disobey me.
