"Aren't we allowed to do things on our own? I'm pretty sure we Nevilles are independent enough not to need the Priestleys' approval," said Mark.

"You should probably consult with a Castle first, don't you think? Big moves like the ones you're planning shouldn't be made without prior notice. Do you need me to remind you of the Habsburgs?"
"Haha, I don't think you should remind me of that legendary family when there is a member of it at this table," he said and looked at Louis. "Mr. Louis, I was hoping to meet you at the Academy Tournament, so seeing you here is a pleasant surprise. I think I will be able to fulfill what my father asked of me."
