Leonel didn't make a sound as he listened to the story, his expression not giving anything away.
What happened was within his expectations. Or, more accurately, after he had seen the state of the Morales family, he understood what must have happened.
After their victory, everything was smooth sailing. But because Leonel wasn't there, there was actually some hesitation about what exactly to do.
This made sense. The Morales had suddenly gained so much territory and control in such a short time. They didn't even have the necessary population to occupy all of those lands, and they certainly didn't hav the infrastructure to govern such a large amount of land either.
Some were divided about what to do. One faction believed that they should just enslave everyone like they had the Suiard and the Spiritual Faction. This would keep everyone in line and make it easier to force assimilation.
