On one hand, I'm slightly disappointed we didn't see Ebony fully solve the situation herself.
On the other hand, well played archduke, a simple but very effective move.
@AgentKuga:
He is the archduke, and he'll likely declare he's going to enter with all these girls here, with possibly explicit claim that they're either prostitutes or that they're neither mistress nor prostitutes (i.e. they're all 'women of individual standings')
Which force the clubhouse to either:
1. Refuse THE archduke, publicly earning his ire (anyone who doesn't want to get on his bad side would immediately stop going there)
or
2. If he declare they're all prostitutes. Let a man with MANY prostitutes in, tarnishing their public reputation of being a place for cultured men.
or
3. If he declare they're 'women of individual standinds'. Let them in which makes them contradict themselves from what they told Raven earlier.
