He was putting all his hope into this plan. Into the fact that Isardis would play into it and take it, leaving his family alone once and for all. He would allow his shoulder to press into Sibelle's, taking from his sister the reassurance and confidence that he needed. He would take a deep breath as the parasite's words filtered through his tattered ears, mentally going over his proposition one last time before he allowed it to fall free from his dark lips. You have no need to have my wife. None of my pack, including myself, wish to have anything to do with you any longer. So I have brought you a proposition. Power is what you thrive for, what you live for, and I have come to give it to you. In exchange for allowing my wife to return home with me, I willing pass on the throne of Tortuga to you so you may give it to whomever suits your fancy. You can have the territory that my pack has recently vacated and you may put whomever you wish on the throne, I will no longer care. He would pause, allowing his words to sink in as he waited to hear the albino's reaction.
