And obviously he became angry when he found out about the Mist trick. And he was already an enemy, yes. But by that logic, all Romans can be considered as enemies too and it's okay then, If Piper can uses charmspeak against on Romans anytime she wants. They weren't angry about the Mist trick, they were angry that enemies had infiltrated their ranks, so to say. And what logic...? There's a clear and KEY difference between Michael and the other Romans. Michael was on Gaea's side when they see him with the suitors. The Romans, as far as they are aware, are not on the side of Gaea. Why the hell would you put Michael and the rest of the Roman legion in the same ball park?

As for her using charmspeak on the Roman legion, wasn't that because they were about to die because Leo's mind-possessing ghost thing fired on New Rome? And the Seven were severely outnumbered? She doesn't even use it to take advantage of them, she uses it as a distraction so they do not get slaughtered. It's actually one of the more justifiable uses of her charmspeak. If she was using it to influence Reyna's decision about siding with the Greeks, then we'd have a problem.
