The turmoil at Westwood Laine Fortress seemed to have nothing to do with Henry.
He was completely unaware of the schemes and plots unfolding behind the scenes, and Tommy made no attempt to inform him.
In Tommy's view, these petty tricks posed no real threat. Henry's focus was always on the broader battlefield, on the major events that could truly influence the course of the war.
As a result, Tommy paid them no mind either.
The First Prince was still gloating over his own cleverness, convinced his plan was on the verge of success and that he would soon have a grasp on Henry's every move.
He believed he would know all of Henry's future actions like the back of his hand.
When that time came, whether through slander, blockades, isolation, or economic warfare, the First Prince had plenty of ways to run Henry into the ground.
He was lost in his own fantasy, completely oblivious to the fact that his actions had long since been seen through.
