I think it’s a necessary evil. If the Maester wasn’t sworn to be loyal to the lord of the domain, no lord would accept a Maester in their service, which goes against the interests of the Citadel.
What, if any, is the downside of the Maester’s partiality to the lord in whose service he is? Is it a good thing that a maester is sworn to serve the wishes of his master, even it is to the detriment of the entire realm? Thank you for your time and effort, greatly appreciated.
