When he had first volunteered to go on the expedition and basically lead it for the Umbrin clan he had never expected any of this. At most he had thought Pate may learn something and improve, but not that he'd get an opportunity like this.

Sandra had come to visit the clan area far sooner than he had thought, especially considering what had happened yesterday, and though she had been polite, he could tell she didn't really care for any of it, though she had seemed interested in Pate, which was good.
"Brother, was that a good decision?"
Kai turned to Pate. "This is a once in a lifetime chance. If you come out victorious then our family will rise to new heights, and you will marry into the main family, imagine it."
"And if we lose?" Pate questinoed.
