Agreeing to the Marquis of Windsor's request, the Duke made a promise to consider their possible alliance. The very idea of uniting with this worm he strongly disliked, but the news of the mysterious enemy of both empires, could not allow him to stay away.
Even if Raymond Cassius did not care about the well-being of this country, he still had people to protect. First and foremost, his daughter and daughter-in-law, as well as a future matchmaker with whom he sought to establish a relationship.
Having first learned the details from the Marquis of Windsor, the man intended to contact the Archduke to inform him of the possible danger. After all, he was the right hand of the King of Azeroth, and should have been aware of what was happening in the country. But then he changed his mind. The last thing he wanted was to involve Lady Ashford's family in this dirty business. All the more so, the duke would be quite capable of handling it himself.
