Duke Van Heath, one of the influential figures in the kingdom of Kuravos, was the man of his words. He had a noble influence on majority of the public opinion and the reason for it was his connections with the merchants.
He was smart enough to make an acquaintance with all the businessmen who would make their ways to the shores of Kuravos. Kuravos being a hotspot for variety of markets, many merchants often came with unique and perhaps rare products.
That only meant on thing. They were rich and also that they had been rich for a long long time. Although Duke Van Heath didn't lack money, he knew people with money influence people who give them money.
With this one strategy he was still on the top of his political game. Being one of the valued members in the royal court, there was nothing that the duke had to lose. Anyone who would see him, would know that the duke is only winning in life except for one wrong calculation.
Except for one wrong decision.
