After enduring Earl Piers' "political class", many nobles, including Hudson, felt like they had lived through a disaster.
The Governor knew far too much, and shamelessly spilled it all out directly in front of everyone without any restraint.
If it weren't for the significant disparity in their status and power, almost everyone might have had thoughts of silencing him for good.
Initially, it was bearable, just having to endure criticism as long as they had thick enough skins. Then everything would be manageable.
However, as the governor continued his tirade, it began to evolve into a major expose of past embarrassments, causing instant humiliation for numerous nobles.
This included Hudson's private transactions with his neighbours. Although specific details were not delved into, the transactions were indeed exposed.
Luckily, Hudson had always been discrete, having only conducted a few low-key trades, with not much scandalous past to dig into.
