Keira twitched her lips slightly, eventually standing up alongside Lewis. The two of them completely ignored the knocking at the door, each heading to the bathroom for a quick shower. Once they were dressed, Lewis finally opened the door.

Erin was still persistently knocking. The moment the door swung open, she tried to push her way in.

Keira grabbed her arm without hesitation. "We’ll talk in your room."

"What? Why my room?" Erin asked, though she let herself be dragged away.

Keira stopped in front of Charles’s room instead, opened the door, and stepped inside.

The black-and-white-themed room was offset by a pink wardrobe and stuffed animals scattered here and there. Erin clutched a rabbit plushie as she sat down on the couch. Keira wasted no time getting to the point. "What is it you want to say?"

Erin got straight to it. "My mom told me the South family’s succession contest has to wrap up by March this year. Looks like the current successor’s health is failing, and they’re desperate to choose the next one. You’ve heard about this, right?"

Keira froze. She hadn’t heard a thing.

Just as that thought crossed her mind, there was another knock at the door. Lewis went to open it, and Jenkins stepped inside without so much as a hello.

Jenkins had just returned to the South family, traveling back from Country A. After taking a few days to settle in, she’d finally come to Clance.

As soon as the door opened, she burst out, "Did you hear? My mom says the succession contest has to be finalized by March!"

Keira frowned.

Jessica hadn’t said anything to her. But if Erin and Jenkins’s mothers both had this information, how could Jessica not know?

Keira’s frown deepened.

If Jessica deliberately kept this from her, did it mean she didn’t trust her? Or did she simply not care about her daughter?

But if Jessica didn’t know either, that would imply... even among the defeated successors, there was a hierarchy of influence.
