The relationship between Losa and Reynard as monarch and minister is quite subtle.
The latter neither comes to pay homage nor sends vassal taxes, merely acknowledging Losa's position as superior lord in words, and Losa seems not to fuss about it.
Both tacitly accept the current situation, neither willing to change it.
But Losa is determined to rescue Reynard's fiancée.
Because this is a great opportunity for Losa to enhance his prestige, gain political repute, and reclaim de jure territory.
How can a monarch win the support of vassals?
Merely being powerful isn't enough; one also has to be capable of resolving matters for the little brothers.
In the eyes of many vassals, although Losa possesses talent in commanding troops, his power as a feudal lord is weak, far inferior to the elder Count Reynard.
Speaking strictly of the Earl's Domain in Transjordan, Count Losa's strength even ranks below Argon Baron of Petra, taking the third place.
