In a private meeting room, Lord Garius sat at the head of the table, focusing intently on Alf, his trusted butler. Beside him stood Errinette, calm and composed, while Hesbeirn leaned forward with his rough hands on the table.
"My lord," Alf began in his usual steady voice, "we've received a report."
Garius nodded, his expression unreadable. "Go on."
"According to our informant, the Klimbert household seems to be making a move in our region."
Garius's mouth twitched slightly, showing a hint of irritation. "Do they intend to start a war?"
"For now, we're still gathering details," Hesbeirn added, his voice deep and serious. "But it appears the Armbost household and Klimbert household are collaborating, using the Jaist household to provoke us."
Garius raised an eyebrow and leaned back in his chair. "The Jaist household? How are they involved?"
