    i have to admit that the writer of this intriguing story has an interesting understanding of intrigue, betrayal, politics, especially among narcissistic nobility and a fascinating understanding of power games and even perhaps human psychology. this is a very good and unique story considering what I have watched on this channel and similar ones.

    Now I understand, first Clara spoke of the importance to the Principality of the industry and shipyards of Firentis and before Wyatt spoke of Firentis as a source of food, now uses Wyatt to divert the real interest, and thus lower the potential value as a target to Firentis, before a successful negotiation. What a kind of mastermind is Clara.

    No way did someone like Clara dump Sir Wyatt in the clutches of a talented adversary without knowing exactly what would transpire. Sir Wyatt gets a valuable lesson, Felicity gets a false feeling of victory and Clara wins again! I suspect that this conversation will reinforce the notion that Sir Wyatt is pretending to have been a commoner but if otherwise, Clara planned it that way....

      I beg to differ. Wyatt is already a proven entity testing him would be superfluous on Clara's part. Instead Clara will learn more about how her enemy is thinking strategically by how her manner works with Wyatt through her reaction to him. Felicity showed a lack of imagination in the interaction perhaps because she presumes to much which would be a weakness on her part . Don't be surprised if Clara doesn't have Wyatt work the same trickery as with the earlier spys on Felicity, the door is wide open here. Leaving Wyatt with Felicity was like leaving a pandora's box to good not to open. Ouch.

      Clara deliberately gave him false information knowing full well he would be targeted.
      It wasn’t malicious on Clara’s behalf, Wyatt doesn’t have the same background of years of political intrigue experience, and would have always failed against such an opponent, so how to turn such a weakness into an opportunity?
      Give him a false narrative, set him up as bait, and the fish took it….
      Wyatt will be pissed later, but that type of trick only works once.

    Nice to see this chapter starting from the Draymore delegation being lead by Felicity Cintor thinks of what Wyatt's reaction to the "living Drazin". I do like how Felicity ignored Wyatt Staples until someone pointed out what would someone have to do be worthy of being the left hand of Clara the Reaper (totally a blue blood thing to do)? Its hilarious how Felicity is dumbfounded and confused by how Clara acted, that Clara cares for this Wyatt and used this unexpected situation to her advantage! Its hilarious how the nobles of the nobles trying to figure out who Wyatt is due to the recorders on him for the 3rd Fleet are missing.
    I do like how Casimir was smart in he was more focused on the danger of Clara having a Reckoning class Assault Stealth Destroyer and it must have been originally Samuel's Glory. Maximilian Userek is funny in how he characterizes Tamiran Cayston very well in an insulting way. I am not surprised members of Draymore delegation think about to go after Wyatt since he seems to be a weakness of Clara. Felicity is thinking to using her womanly wiles on him to spill secrets to her, which is going to be hilarious seeing her trying to bend his titanium will! 🤣😂
    I totally agree with how Wyatt is annoyed with waiting 4 hours for just some brief talk between Clara and the head of house Firentis and then just leaving seems to be a total wast of time. I am not surprised that Clara finds Wyatts reaction to this amusing. Nice seeing the first peaceful interaction of Draymore and Astor force in this series how they have to be nice and not try to attack each other physically but instead in gilded, honey laced words. I do love how EkhidnaWritez has Clara understand what Felicity's true goal of coming to her and pretending to not realize it but turn it to her own advantage! Clara shows her true trust in Wyatt in not giving him specific orders other than escort Felicity for a while, knowing Wyatt's indomitable will and awareness of dangers of noble women trying to use him for their own advantage will make him paranoid of any attempts of Felicity.
    Its interesting seeing how Felicity tries to get a understanding of the unusual person Wyatt is, she is getting some useful info from him even though its very general stuff but still quite useful if used properly. She sees that Wyatt is truly most likely born a commoner and that he is someone lives his life by the motto: Loyalty is its own reward. I do respect Felicity makes Wyatt for the first time ever think about what would he do if House Astor loses to House Draymore, which is an important thing to do. I do like how Felicity respects Wyatt for his strong will not truly bending his will to her. I would not be surprised that Felicity was happy that she was able to get such a strong willed person like Wyatt to blush at her actions. I have a feeling she is seeing Wyatt as a interesting challenge to break his defenses.
    I do like how this chapter ends with Wyatt wondering how his family is doing, with him paradoxically wanting to talk with them soon and not soon at the same time! He longs to talk with his loving family but does not want to deal with the stuff with him being a noble his eyes no longer being the same. Then realizing he is lose in a garden/maze, Wyatt's greatest challenge yet! 🤣😂😆
    It will be fun to see how the political battlefield between Draymore and Astor for house Firentis to side with them. Also further interactions between Felicity and Wyatt where they try to get info from each other that might be useful but at the same time making sure its not false intel.
    I hope whatever problems you are having EkhidnaWritez that your able to overcome them and become stronger from it. Keep up the Awesome work EkhidnaWritez, till next time! ☺

Commander, after He takes command of the Noirnavio at Clara’s order, and supported by Redford, to Combat Maximillian & the 6x Stealth ships, which Wyatt will destroy/Disable a few with the Fighter Squadrons, but the real challenge will be how Maximillion commands the Stealth Destroyer…
      It’ll be interesting hearing Wyatt & Maximillian’s interaction… it’ll also be interesting how Casmire & Wyatt confront each other… My other question- was Samual Cayston’s body put on ice, due to his standing, to be handed back to the Cayston Family as a sign of “Good will & Respect”??

    Wyatt unknowingly told her what Clara was after with out even realizing it, or did he?

Yet all along she was after troops and possibly the production facility for maybe Lachoa farming being they are a good source of protein. Think about it an easily available and produced source of protein that could feed the commoner troops and turn a profit it would be a win for both.

      Clara trusted Wyatt to handle Felicity well enough to not need to give him specific orders other than to escort her. She knows that Wyatt will not intentionally give any valuable intel to someone who is clearly on the opposite side of the conflict. Clara though could have given Wyatt a bit more explanation but at the same time it could be Clara was trying to pull the wool over Felicity as much as possible to not suspect Wyatt would be on his guard her honey words. Clara I do think is using Wyatt to gain more info about Felicity and give some not important info do Draymore faction for some political machinations we commoners would have hard time to fully understand the logic behind it.
      I can though see your point of the view to a degree and good chance its also maybe a product of more your private chats with EkhidnaWritez. Wyatt is the key for Clara to reach her full potential with him there to temper Clara when she is at her most volatile and short sighted moments. Wyatt is the person who tell her no without worrying about his life being on the line, force her to slow down and think things out more. In many ways Wyatt is perfect balance for both Clara and Cynthia with their flaws and they in turn help balance his flaws. Its a nice symbiotic relationship between the 3 of them.

    Felicity attempted to have Wyatt ask questions as to what benefits he received from House Draymore, but Wyatt never asked what benefits he could receive.
    What Felicity learned from Wyatt is that he was a commoner, but now a knight to House Astor, where Wyatt informed that Felicity and everyone connected to Draymore are tratiors! Whom will not get the support of the house at the negotiating table.
    Wyatt is a cold, bloodied killer who will take her life and persons around her.
    Another important item that hasn't been discovered by the Draymoore House is that Wyatt is an Ace who shot down 30 aircraft of Drazzens fighters in a dog fight at the Wood Shaft station, nor of the deal struck with House Astor with the Wood Shaft space port, and now House Cassen is rejected and will be attacked when a ship shows up.

      Personally I don't think Wyatt is a lone wolf, he's something else, probably far more dangerous. The lone wolves are still apparently nobles and so far they seem to by and large all think the same way, with honourable fights etc.
      True lone wolves are Alpha Males who have either left their pack rather than challenge the pack leader or have lost their position of pack leader by being beaten by the new pack leader.
      Right now I think Wyatt is finding his place in the world, the only reason anyone will call him a lone wolf is because they don't have a suitable description for what he really is, the author has been giving us glimpses of Wyatt's potential without revealing everything, if I were to guess we will discover that Wyatt is going to be a pack leader ...

      Maybe, maybe not. So far the story portrays Clara as a very Machiavellian character that is playing the game at a high level. There's no guarantee she actually told Wyatt the truth about the goal. If anything, it's more likely she did not. She knows Wyatt is inexperienced at best at those games and she ordered him to accompany someone she knows to be a master manipulator as well. Chances are it's another misdirection.

To an outsider who knows the Royal Marines reputation it required 4 of them to stop him, to the Royal Marines, they merely stopped a "friend/cousin" from making any more of a fool of himself without hurting him. Wyatt is not a Royal Marine but their captain has been treating him as someone worthy of their respect, since there are only 20 of them on board the Noirnavio it's fair to assume they all know Wyatt at least a little from practice sessions if nothing else and that he has done nothing to upset any of them LOL

Also Wyatt is looking for true love to be marring anyone. Wyatt was originally planing on to not marry until after his tour in the navy was complete and him leaving the service before start looking for a wife. Now Wyatt is in the middle of House war, a officer and a noble. So yeah, Wyatt is not going to even think about romance until at least he feels comfortable enough as a noble and a officer. I don't expect any beginnings of romance for Wyatt in this book at all. Then when a romance starts for Wyatt, its going to be slow burning one due to it happening in the middle of a House War.
