If I recall you were one of the ring leaders of the rebellion. how did she ever threaten you .......... she trusted you and you stabbed her in the back as I recall. And how is she threatening your realm..... I mean her realm that you helped steal from her. are you afraid that she is garnering the power and support to take it back? Hmmmm could be we shall see.
Machiavel supported the Dragon Queen until it was clear that you would lose. Then he worked for both sides until Katayanna spoke about taking the struggling realm's resources for her colony.
What the Dragon Queen wanted to take would be peanuts by out standards today, but back then, D'Hara was dirt poor and in !@#$ condition. Machiavel truly felt threatened and betrayed by the move.
He also knows that she holds a grudge. He doesn't like that, he considers such things as latent threats that must be pacified one way or another, one day or another.
