Yvette's apparent battle prowess did not particularly surprise the Larnak relatives, however, although a few of them could boast of surpassing her age by a Decade or less while also consistently keeping up with their martial regiments unlike her, held back by Herbert's strict distribution of resources, they barely surpassed the Martial might of Guard Captains.
It made for an annoying disparity in Yvette's aura compared to theirs.
All that of course was thrust to the side.
With the Stygian Captains outnumbering their numbers, they all got into attacking/defensive stances, gripping their weapons tight while following Yvette's lead.
Even the Captains were of a similar conviction.
The Lady of the Estate did not have to even say a word. Her quickness to do battle in defense of the Estate spurred them all to rally with her as the de facto leader of their squad of sorts.
