The Lawyer

[William Steiner]

He reached into a draw and pulled out his pipe and tobacco, along with a silver lighter. He walked over to her and sat down on the couch Well in that case we ought to use what influence we have. I believe my family still has some contacts over in Rheinland that could be beneficial. He said as he lit her cigarette and began packing his own pipe. Truth be told I don't think Liberty is a worthy long term ally as far as economics go. Rheinland is a untapped resource hub, one that will be sorely needed if we wish to rebuild, and if we can get them to cut Liberty out of the market...well, we might just find a way to balance our repayments to them

He lit his pipe drawing the embers in, he was not in favour of cutting Liberty out of what they were rightfully owed, that would be poor business management. They were entitled to a good amount of money. Money Bretonia promised, and ought to repay. Still Rheinland offered the best chance at not only expansion, but economic growth in the long run. But of course to do any of this we required influence. Political as well as social. An economic crisis would provide the best opportunity for you to regain your old office, but you require allies. We have influence, but not enough to put you there on your own just yet. Furthermore you are standing against the establishment, a young single woman as Prime Minister? Tell me, did you enemies exploited that in your downfall? They would have been fools if they didn't. A smile ran away from his face, perhaps Hacker would be a suitable candidate as well, although the man was probably quite happy where he was at the moment. Still, Hall had a hero's last name and was a Ward of a powerful family. Perhaps there was something there.
