The next day, Darvin summoned all the highest-ranking warriors of the household, including the houses allied to them.
He sat in the most prominent seat and swept his gaze to the gathered crowd. "Everyone, we didn't anticipate the enemy's attack this time. We all thought that they would ignore the lives of those lowly employees so we only left Lord Xavier to guard the prisoners…"
A long, boring speech followed, but everyone listened attentively for they could tell that the viscount was furious.
They had heard of his son's critical condition so they could understand his feelings.
After a speech full of righteous indignation, Darvin finally revealed his true intentions for summoning everyone.
"Everyone, we must attack them now! We managed to force them to retreat yesterday and they are currently at their weakest since most of their warriors are injured! This is the perfect time to destroy House Keller for good and show His Highness our importance!"
