Qual foi o plano de Jack depois de adquirir o Hellflame?

Jack of Shadows tem o hábito de convidar suas mulheres para o seu castelo, Shadow Guard. Ele convidou Rosie:

"Is there really a Shadow Guard?" she asked Him. "A castle of high, shadow-decked halls, invisible to your enemies and friends alike, where you would have taken that girl to spend her day with you?" "Of course," he told her. ~Roger Zelazny : Jack of Shadows

E também Evene:

"No eyes but mine have ever looked upon it," he said, "for it is always hidden by shadows. It is a great, sprawling place, of high, torch-lit halls, underground labyrinths and many towers. On the one hand it faces some light, and on the other the darkness. It is furnished with many mementos of the greatest thefts ever committed. There are things of great beauty there, and things of incalculable worth. The shadows dance in its corridors, and the facets of countless gems gleam brighter than the sun of the one-half world. That is the place you mock: Shadow Guard, next to which your master's keep is but a pigsty. It is sometimes, true, a lonely place; but the real Evene will brighten it with her laughter, touch it with her grace..." ~Roger Zelazny : Jack of Shadows

Mas mais tarde, quando Jack toma a fortaleza do Lorde dos Morcegos, ele renomeia como Guarda das Sombras.

Então, se ele não tivesse um castelo quando cortejasse a Even de Fortaleza Holding, onde ele pretendia levá-la depois de adquirir o Hellflame, o preço da noiva por ela? Vendo que, ao contrário de Rosie, uma simples garota humana, Evene era a filha do coronel que nunca morreu, o que Jack teria feito quando ela pediu a ele para levá-la ao castelo? Não admitir que ele não tem fortaleza como o resto dos poderes o fez ridicularizado por eles?
