Crap, you're right. That was dumb. Perhaps Balor really did come interrogate Alric. However, I still have trouble beliving that he learned that bit of false info by chance. It's certainly not the sort of thing Balor would tell him, and that leaves the Deceiver. Let's say the theory that Myrdred cooperated with Balor only because he likes to play on the winning team is correct. Combine that with his honorific, and you can see how he's the sort of guy who likes to hedge his bets. What if he slipped Alric the info, and otherwise worked for Balor, knowing things would turn out good either way? Of course, this didn't help him win against the Watcher, so stuff still wasn't that great, but you get the idea.
