"Such as the fact that the Seven Sins want to use me as a vessel for their daemon lord," Jaenor said bluntly.
"Operating independently gives me flexibility to respond to that threat in ways that official command structures wouldn't allow. And, such as the political complications of an Arkwright working directly with the Covens, some factions'd see that as a betrayal of my bloodline's independence."
Morgana nodded slowly, seeing where he was going.
"We'll help," she said, stepping forward to stand beside Jaenor.
"We were already planning to engage the northern demon legions. We recognize the threat they represent. But we act as independent allies, not subordinates."
She looked at Wendelina directly.
"Jaenor and the chosen ones will fight alongside Coven forces and will coordinate our actions with yours, but we maintain our own authority and decision-making. No command hierarchy, no obligation to follow orders that conflict with our judgment.
A partnership between equals."
