[Ah, well, Sheliak on the other hand, did have experience with this. Not full scale revolution, but power changed hands among the families regularly and his family had certainly played one family against the other on many occasions to come out on top. It made the conversation a bit awkward so he focused on Hizen's argument instead. He agreed with his thoughts on Tenkohime with a ghost of a smile. He didn't like her either. The ones that hid their claws were the most dangerous.]

It's certainly possible that the others were too intimidating but even if the assassins only intended to cause upheaval within the alliance, it is strange that no one even tried to take a shot at the other leaders during the chaos.

[Sheliak stopped himself from ending with another question this time.]

And it seems to have benefited them quite a lot for a mere coincidence.
