At the very least the spying came to light. And not too early. Too much information has been leaked, but at least the new weapons are save. Or did Valentina create plans for a rifle prototyp, which Alonso took? Let's hope he didn't and that the nobles of the other territory are stupidly arrogant. I believe in Hazel's case, while he didn't actively betrayed the lord, he found out about his brother and didn't say anything. Well, that is betraying. He decided against leaving with his brother at least. Now the question is, did he really want to chop up MC, or not? Wasn't Hazel into the Lord's daughter who fell for MC? That would be a motive, but a scummy one, which would explain, why he wanted to kill MC, but wasn't all that enthusiastic about it.
