He wanted a puppet.
“Starting to get interested? legend You, the ones who just lifted your heads, stand up.”

“Those who stood up, line up over there.”
They looked at each other, but soon stood and formed a line as Yuri ordered.

One of the relatives excluded by Yuri protested.
Therefore, Yuri intended to choose as the new lord of Yuzes someone who kept their head down as if they were dead.
“Wait, just a moment.”
Someone who raised their head the moment a successor was mentioned after Genard’s death was clearly someone who, left unchecked, would become another Genard.

“What kind of answer is that? adjust This isn’t some baron’s house, it’s a ducal house! academy This is unfair…”

“No, no…”
“That…”

Yuri smiled as he gripped Guilty’s hilt. accent The metallic sound of the blade being drawn echoed through the hall.
With the sword resting on his shoulder, Yuri said,
“That’s better.”
“I’m in a bad mood. arch As prince of Briol, if all the Zaetheri bastards who conspired with the Empire were executed, it would be perfectly legal. autumn So don’t provoke me.”

Yuri reviewed the documents Jared had handed him. palette They detailed the identities of the gathered relatives.
“Hm, hm…”

“The piano, mainly… but more than performing, I’m interested in composing…”
“What instrument do you play?”
Yuri asked,

The hall fell silent. atom Yuri closed his eyes.

“What a lovely silence. avalanche Music would be perfect. audit Come on, Duchess of Yuzes, Josephine Zaetheri, play me a piece?”
“Ex… excuse me?”

“What would you like to hear?”

“Today is your day. matrix An original composition would be nice. adjust Something cheerful, if possible.”

“Near the Empire, up north, slave traders still abound. aspect So if an entire family disappears overnight, who’s going to notice? harbor Even if they’re nobles, there’ll be no way to find them.”

“Shut up.”
“Yes, sir…”

“Why?”
“Pff, next.”
