--- Quote from: Conspiracy Theorist on July 10, 2020, 02:02:14 PM ---What reason would Lara have to assassinate The Merlin or other Senior Council Member? Except for the knowledge that Luccio may have given him, about Thomas mother, but the Merlin may already be using this knowledge to get rid of Harry, so Thomas was intending to assassinate the Merlin, but the Merlin was already trying to set Thomas up to look as a potential assassin and bait for Harry.

What reason? I guess that is what we are about to find out in Peace Talks. For that matter what reason would Thomas have? Only one I can think of is he made a Faustian bargain with someone to keep Justine and their child safe from the Hunger. It could be he made that bargain with Mab, or Lara made that bargain on his behalf. Then the question becomes, who does Mab want dead? And
it would fit with her four dimensional game of chess as well. She wants someone on the Council dead, she may even have a good reason to want him or her dead.. However to keep a level of "plausible deniability" she cannot order Harry to do it. And further if it was a Council member Harry would fight her on it.. So she makes a deal with Thomas, enter Lara, who will want to save her brother so, more favors asked for and granted, and Harry finds himself a pawn in a dirty game to do what he would have tried anyway, save his brother.
Actually if you go by what is taking place in the first six chapters, someone wants this member dead, and Harry is being set up to take the fall, which Mab is trying to prevent.

Harry's power was showing green effects all throughout Skin Game. I think there has also been at least one instance of his staff glowing green when he runs power through it as well now.
I find it interesting that Bonea has green fire eyes and was inside him for him awakening the island. She might know more about the island and its power then he does.
The question I was waiting for Harry to ask was, "What if she asks me to break your accords?" but he was too dumb to ask that. I wonder if there could be a favor exchange going on as part of this book - Mab asks Lara to get someone gacked and she uses Thomas for the job earning Mab's favor, then uses said favor to get Harry to get Thomas off the hook for said gacking….

Mab essentially did answer that:
(click to show/hide)“I expect her to show respect for my Court and my resources,” Mab said. “I expect her to ask nothing of you that she would be unwilling to ask from me. Within those constraints—yes.”
Dina:
Yes, that was clear enough, and remember Mab cannot lie.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Mab will therefore hold Lara responsible for the misuse of Harry in breach of the Accords, not Harry Lara should know this. It means that Harry will likely be asked to act in breach of the Accords, but he will figure out some way to turn the situation around. This is why I like the “set up” scenario, if Harry exposes that it is a set up, then neither he nor Lara have breached the Accords, it is the person responsible for the set up who would be held responsible by Mab.
