Why was Garrett targeting Ridder?
Part of it was because Ridder had made him lose face back in Shore City, but it was mostly retaliation for Ronin's disrespectful attitude.
While it wasn't wise for him to do anything to Ronin, Ridder was merely his subordinate. Aside from his considerable strength, Ridder's background was simple. Garrett could easily find an excuse to vent his frustrations on him, simultaneously warning Ronin and reminding him of the Crown Prince's status.
As for any retaliation, he wasn't worried.
He wouldn't rashly move against Ronin, and likewise, he believed Ronin wouldn't rashly move against him.
Ridder glanced at the four men surrounding him. He only knew that Garrett was a Silver Moon Knight; he was unfamiliar with the strength of the other three. However, as generals stationed at the border, their skills couldn't be poor.
