Why didn't Peter Bestes trust the loyalist?

Peter Bestes didn't trust the loyalist due to a history of perceived betrayal and conflicting interests. He likely believed that the loyalist's allegiance to a foreign power undermined local autonomy and could threaten the community's well-being. Additionally, past experiences may have shaped Bestes' skepticism towards those who align with foreign influences, fostering a belief that their loyalties could shift at any moment. This distrust stemmed from a broader context of political tension and personal experiences that led him to view the loyalist with suspicion.
