There are two things I think should be considererAre the warring states powerful?Is the noble powerful?If the waring states are powerful and the noble isn’t, then there would be a lot of pressure for him to take an active role in the war. Possibly given tasks to prove allegiance. Either way they could be suspected of being a double agent or of playing both sides. They may need to renounce one side or the other.If the states are weaker (or desperate or evenly matched with their foes) then the noble may be seen as the deciding factor. They may be in a very lucky position to chose a side. Or switch at the last moment. There still may be suspicion and the rulers may want to keep the noble close. The noble might even be able to remain neutral and act as a safe haven for diplomacy if they can convince the warring sides that they aren’t a threat to either.It’s a good question. Well done for thinking of it.</blockquote>
