All the members of the Lannister family had gathered for a grand funeral. The subject of the ceremony was, of course, Kean's cousin—his uncle's son.
Everyone's expression was deeply sorrowful, but there was an undercurrent of hidden motives beneath the surface. Only Kean's uncle appeared truly heartbroken. He had not only lost his son but also his heir. The more serious consequence was that he now had to choose a new successor from among the other relatives.
The most widely accepted candidate to become the Lannisters' next heir was Kean. On one hand, he was widely recognized as a genius; on the other, he was the closest in bloodline.
