==Description==
The Chateau de Leon was a complex active at [[3136]]. Spectacularly appointed, the huge building, with a saucer-like design, was hunging over a thousand-meter precipice, giving him a great view. It had a lounge, dining hall, with a thousand-room hotel, very popular for tourists during the skiing season.<ref name=PGc19>''Pandora's Gambit'', ch. 19</ref>

Regulus's prince, [[Lester Cameron-Jones]], after Clipperton's CorpSec forces eliminated the cell behind the attack and finished the investigation about the attack, only had proofs pointing to the [[Word of Blake]] as the ones which had made the attack, but Lester knew than [[Jessica Halas-Hughes Marik]] was behind it. And he was right: she had ordered the attack simply to distract the [[Regulan Fiefs]] while she launched a series of attacks against the planet [[Marik]]. Despite lacking any proof, Lester decided to take revenge, activating a sleeper agent into Jessica's palace on Amur, [[Oriente]], ordering her to murder her sons, but only succeeded in killing [[Janos Halas]] and crippling [[Julietta Marik]] before being forced to escape.<ref>''Pandora's Gambit'', chs. 26–28</ref>

A decade later, the Chateau de Leon's destruction still soured relations between the Regulan Fiefs and the reborn [[Free Worlds League]] led by Jessica Marik. Not only Lester still raged for the attack: his wife Emlia too. But it was another person the one which made the most devastating vendetta: a Regulan named Sylas, which had lost his fiancee, Evangeline, on the Chateau, after a decade of preparations not only murdered Jessica's 'husband, but also made blow part of the Captain's General's palace, killing Jessica Marik, and also framed her daughter and heir, [[Nikol Halas-Hughes Marik]], the new captain-General, for the bombing, but he failed to decapitate the League and commited suicide before being captured.<ref>''Hunting Season'', chs. 39–41</ref>
