Aster closed his notes as he had finished inspecting everything. There seemed to be no hole in this place for royal family to slander. He lowered his guard against Lady Merse, since House of Thana had been withdrawing its troops from Roagelt. It was such a huge hit to the capital, because House of Thana was the most respected military house in Golden Camellia Empire.
Because General Wirgard's health constantly deteriorated, Lady Merse was now in charge of the house, and she had been neutral the whole time after Aunt Empress death. She took no offer to join any side and no agreement or oath to other houses, even royal family.
"Aunt Merse, pardon me, but I have another event I need to attend," Aster said politely. He took a brass pin from his pocket and gave it to Lady Merse, "This is my personal pin, please show this to the staff if you need anything."
