"Who allowed you to speak, Xandria?"

It sounded so cold that the air froze. The interior of the room is full of tension, and no one moves.

"I don't know what to say"

As Xandria uttered the word wabi, the air was just a little loose.

"Allow the jury of Xandria and Tendria. However, statements are not allowed. If the two of you speak without my permission in the future, I will withdraw you immediately. Also, if it becomes an inappropriate topic for the two of you to sit on the jury, withdraw them at that point."

"Ha"

Cannell bowed deeply and replied.

"Who is the next young man sitting next to Xandria"

Sitting beside Xandria are the three sons of Xandria, who the Bordolins are trying to push into the Goncourt family's successor. I turn twenty this year. For Prado, he's a grandson, and he's already engaged, so it's a pretty cold attitude to ask who he is.

"Ha. I am Lord Holkassa, the third son of Master Xandria. Depending on Xandria, Holkassa needs to be present because of the deep relevance of what Xandria proposes today."

"We may then allow Xandria to speak, and we invite you to come into the room if we deem it necessary at that time. Until then, just wait in the separate room."

Norma's sharp gaze captured that Xandria tried to say something here, but was stopped by a squire who was behind him.

"Who is the next knight and squire behind Xandria?"

Only the butler and assistant butler of the main house, plus the Lord's escort knight and the soldiers of the main house, are allowed to enter the room of the kinship council, except for those present, and only the servants of the main house are allowed to enter when they have business. When it comes to non-relatives who are now indoors, besides the butler's cannel and assistant butler Findin and the escort knight, there are only six soldiers serving in the main house. Behind Xandria, however, there are knights and squires who do not even belong to the Goncourt family in the first place, rather than the main house.

"As Holkassa, a young man of the Bordolin family, attends the Goncourt family meeting, she needs to wait in her room as an escort and caregiver."

"Then leave with Lord Horcasa."

A knight is a nobleman, and when you become a knight held by a nobleman as much as the Bordolin family, you are likely to be in that capacity. Of course, I'm just an outsider on this occasion, but I can't say much high-pressure stuff as a prado either.

"Please wait!

It was the knights of the Bordolins who said so, nothing else.

Prado narrowed his eyes and glanced at the knight.

"The Knight Hall of the Bordolin family. Step into another family meeting and speak without permission. Do you know how disrespectful you are?"

"For a while! I want you to wait! There is a serious problem with your family. There are people in this room who are lying so much! If you leave me alone, I'm sorry the Goncourt family can't help it!

All the relatives in line were surprised and blinded by this unexpected statement.

The knight of the Bordolin family, pointing straight at Zinger, raised his voice.

"There he is! You crazy bastard! How many pieces of inscribed armor of the Wazlov family crest do you have in mind? Know that sin, death, cannot be helped!

Everyone looked at the left breast of Zinger's armor.

A lion's crest with thunder, engraved on his left chest.

The relatives came here to find out how serious the situation was.

Speaking of the Wazlov family, he is one of only thirteen marquises in this country, and he is highly qualified following the Rheinzatz family. And in the northern half of the kingdom, he is an economically powerful nobleman alongside the Marquis of Tubolt and the two barons.

While Bantaroi is close to Mashajain in distance, and the circumstance that he must pass through Mashajain in order to interact with the King's capital is compounded, once there was a small kingdom there, and the noblemen of Bantaroi were also subordinates, but the descendants of his royal family are the Wazlov family.

A knight from the Bordolin family has now disputed that a knight who stood on the table at a council of relatives of the Goncourt family is a phony who deceived the knight from the Wazlov family. If you were truly a phony, the Goncourt family is not just sorry.

But Prado doesn't seem to have moved either.

"Hmm. The Knight Hall of the Bordolin family, what is your name?"

"My name is Karodan Hoist"

"Come on, Lord Knight Karodan. The identity of the knight there is to be revealed every bit during the kinship meeting. Therefore, you may hear the council of kinsmen once in a while."

Here Prado turned his face around and turned his gaze away at all the relatives sitting in their seats.

"I will hold a kinship meeting. Today's agenda concerns the nomination of a successor to my Goncourt family. Let me introduce you to the person sitting beside me at the beginning of the meeting."

The relatives have already watched Norma sit next to her at the funeral table and must have heard her name and her relationship with the Goncourt family. But it's fragmentary information, and it's just uncertain listening.

Together, Prado did not listen to a word he spoke.

For the first time now, Prado tells us who Norma is.
