That's an interesting thought. Felix certainly has the intelligence and the power to figure out a means to break the obligation. Hmmm... I wouldn't mind seeing that happen.
Not much point while they're in the Mirador as Mildmay's life expectancy would be measured in days without it, but if they left ... And Felix did manage to break the obligation de sang, more or less.
BTW I've been wondering what Malkar was up to with those letters to Felix. He clearly didn't expect Mildmay to turn up so who was he expecting? Felix? I really can't imagine Felix doing his own dirty work and I doubt Malkar would expect it, so the most probable person would a hired killer who wouldn't give Malkar any sort of handle on Felix. So what was the point? And would he really expect Felix to risk himself to rescue Mildmay? From the Bastion??
And what was Felix up to? He rushes off to rescue Mildmay from Malkar, with the intention of killing Malkar but doesn't seem to have any plans beyond Mildmay's rescue. He's never successfully resisted Malkar before so why would expect to able to kill him now? In spite of his saying that it would be disastrous for him to fall into Malkar's hands it seems it seems that is where he puts himself.
