Lord Theony's Roll of the Dice (Part-2)

Crown Prince Philips's great political insight was readily on display when he sought to soothe Lord Theony over the feast so graciously. 

Given the current busy timing, most men would not think to do so, especially when the 4,000 men were already in the city.

They would thus assume the other side had already forgotten the little bickering and there was no need to lower himself.

But not Philips, who sought to quickly reassure Lord Theony with both gratitude and promise of heavy rewards.

It was only a pity that this was unfortunately already too little too late.

Lord Theony had already set the ball rolling by sharing all that valuable intelligence with Alexander and there was no way to undo that, to simply forgive and forget that. 

So even if he were to have a change of heart, it would not matter, for there really was no turning back.

Besides, even if Lord Theony fought tooth and nail, they really had very few chances at victory.
