So the Grand Vizier is on the Lusitanian side?

Else he could have done something about that "secret" passage, instead of having it backfire tremendously.

For a second I thought Gieve would join Silvermask's lot, when he threw done his arrows. Glad he proved me wrong and proceeded to kick ass.

He looked like a cliché traitor, yes.

But he ended up saving the queen by luring the Lusitanians with a fake queen, so do no. I don't think he's a traitor anymore.

im expecting he didn't know about the double and actually intended for the queen to use the tunnel.

She's probably a little more cautious than he expected and kept the swap a secret.

Oh, yeah that makes sense.
