As soon the man had finished his drink, Trodai made his approach. He looked to Roman and inquired as to if they had a meeting and who it was he was with. Someone of some importance he imagined, or very loose lipped. But he had seen many drinks loosen such lips.
Drink was if anything a truth drug to some.
"So what progress has been made?"
Roman soon explained that a meeting had been arranged and that Isaac beside him, a sergeant at arms in Governor Peltro's household guard. Ambitious but how ambitious was the question. Perhaps he could be of future use. Another spy they could use. Trodai considered it as he followed and the two were lead to the estate. Although searched, Trodai was meticulous, hiding the lightsaber well enough to pass inspection. Soon they were lead to the main hall where the Governor had been informed of the two guests.
He sent for them immediately. The slave revolt was a topic of importance. Fillo Peltro was a young human, but well dressed and stubborn. Perhaps overly ambitious in some ways and wouldn't be easy to crack. Luckily the long term gains were beneficial to all.
"I hear you two are to thank for that mess down near the mine. That you stopped the revolt, I have reviewed the evidence you gave and am satisfied. You have my thanks, but yet I am curious why help me? What is the price for it?"
Trodai spoke "Nothing...at least just yet. What we wish you discuss is for your ears along. If you could empty the hall I shall explain our reasons."
a nod was given and it was soon cleared with the doors shut leaving just the three.
"Now we are alone, care to explain? Why the secrecy? Who are you?"
Trodai offered a smirk, turning to Roman and speaking "Show him what we are."
He referred to showing a brief display of their abilities. Allowing Roman to be the one to show they were a Sith. As he did, Trodai spoke "You see before you no simple beings. You see Sith. We know your ambitions Fillo, what you seek most. You seek to rule the house and beyond. We can provide the chance under certain arrangements."
He allowed him to digest the information before continuing "Help us influence the other houses and support us as we make our way across the Senex-Juvex sector, aid and support the Order through the noble houses using your family influence and aid our endeavours and we will remove any obstacles in your own ascent. You would be allowed to rule in our stead with some autonomy but answer to us ultimately. But a condition is you keep the existence of who we really are a secret. Call us specialist advisers or something. In return you will gain all the power, influence and credits you will ever need. We will inevitably take the area anyways so why not be on the favoured side and get all you wanted. I warn you though there is no going back on this deal and it is in your interest to agree."
Fillo considered, mulling it over a while before giving an answer "It is much to consider. But you have already proven useful once. Yes, I think we can find a arrangement that suit both our needs."
Trodai smiled as he spoke "Excellent. I will need one more thing of you...a sign of your commitment. And a reminder should you think to renege on our deal. You can either do it willing or not. " He turned to Roman "Mark his skin, but nothing easily seen, brand him with fire and iron. I don't care if by force or willingly. it's up to him. It will serve as a reminder of who he serves and the price should he decide to have a second guess. A hidden mark."
