And here is where my Slytherin line of thinking comes to play.

Sure the rich can have wealth and money that can offer you many resources and opportunities.

But can it offer you loyalty?

Can they willingly submit themselves to you?

Will they be willing to house and protect you in times of battle, willing to become soldiers so that their home and leader won’t perish?

And also, if a revolution does come from the lower classes, it won’t be Viracroix’s head they are after.
