"So you are not completely oblivious, that is good. Indeed even if I don't know all of Perien's secrets, I am still a liability. However, at the moment he has his hands full elsewhere and I am still useful to him. As long as I don't bite the hand that feeds me he won't do anything against our family." Damian explained.

He placed his hands on his lap and leaned back. "Bellisa isn't leverage, she is part of the pact I made with Perien back in Thorkan Park. Her marriage to Perien will not only strengthen our political position in High Rock but it will also solidify our alliance with the La Rouches. That way we need not worry about being disposed of later on."

The king smirked and muttered. "It also places one of us close to the High King. So should he ever act against our family...you know as well as I Jakin, that the Cobra strikes when you least expect it."

"It also gives dear Bellisa the best possible marriage she could hope for. The other one above the High King is the Emperor, but sadly with the Medes gone the Imperial Family is now very small. The one and only prince is far too young for Bellisa." He added.
