A male servant ran towards the large luxurious house that is styled neoclassical.He saw the butler and told the butler about the Morelli family arrival.The butler's eyes widened and hurriedly went towards the office of the clan's leader.
He knocked the door before coming in.
"Patriarch!!The Morelli Family is outside the gate!!The royalties of Country N are here!!", he informed him in a rush.
Lawrence's eyes went wide in surprise and immediately stood up.
"What are they doing here?Are they here because of that incident?Why didn't Xavier tell me about their upcoming arrival?Hurry Sebastian!Call my father.", he ordered the butler and immediately went out of his office with large strides while the butler also went out but didn't follow Lawrence but went in a different way to call Old master Casimiere.
When Lawrence arrived at the house with the royalties of Country N.Old master Casimiere welcomed them inside.Seraphina and Edward politely bowed down their to greet the Old master Casimiere politely with a smile.
They all went to the huge table in the garden.Several maids assisted them by serving deserts and tea.
"What's the sudden visitation about?", the old master asked Seraphina gently like doting a child.
Seraphina sighed in with her forehead wrinkled.She touched the bridge of her nose problematically.
"It's about my daughter."
"What's with Xue? Why is Naftali here?Why didn't you bring her back too?", Lawrence asked with a frown.
Seraphina sighed again.She like it was hard for her to say it.She was greatly worried about her daughter and Xavier.She, her husband and Naftali didn't went to country N but landed here in Atheria Continent to immediately tell Old Casimiere and Lawrence.This is also to inform Xavier is also in danger.
"Xavier is with my daughter but someone in your clan is after their life.Xue almost died if not for Xavier protecting her.", Seraphina answered after taking a sip of coffee.
"What?!", Lawrence asked in shock and anger.
The old man was also angry."Who dares to touch a princess and my granchil---d!!!"
Casimiere was in disbelief thinking about the possibility that it's that distant relative named Ethan.Ethan had long tried to kill Xavier if there's a chance but his grandson always avoided death.The outside family faction may not know this but the main family faction all knows.They had long tolerated Ethan because they know Xavier can always survive but now.Ethan is even after the royal princess of Country N!Xue was lost and was just found.Old Casimiere was extremely mad just by thinking of Ethan's audacity to kill Xue!!
Lawrence was also extremely mad after listening to his father's words.He also realized that it might be Ethan.
Sensing Old Casimiere and Lawrence's mood, Seraphina knows the two might really know about Ethan's wrongdoings like what Xavier just said to them.
"Xavier told me that you also knew.It seems that it's true.Xavier said he wanted you to move now against Ethan because currently, Ethan's also in that country.We also accidentally revealed our identity to Ethan.He'll probably comeback here in Atheria soon.Currently, Xavier is with Xue in that country.We planned to lure Ethan that's it's only the two of them in the country and defenseless.Actually, the main point is we don't want to let these things slide.We just found Xue again.We also don't want our daughter to be harmed in the future.I hope the two of you can understand.I'm sorry for dragging Xavier in this.", Seraphina told the two feeling guilty, worried and helplessness.
Lawrence shook his head.
"That child already told me everything.The whole Crimson Covenant is already on their way there.I understand your worries too.Xavier also told me he's the one who planned all of this.Don't worry.I trust my son.We trust that brat.", Lawrence comforted Seraphina.
The Morelli family felt relieved hearing Lawrence.But a thought came in Seraphina.
"By the way, I just heard from Ethan he was the one of the future clan's leader candidate besides Xavier.I heard he's outside the main faction.A second cousin of Xavier.What's going on?", Seraphina asked Lawrence in displeasure.
Old master Casimiere and Lawrence were stunned then their face was now filled with disdain and contempt towards Ethan.
"He said that?", Lawrence asked scornfully.
"Yes.I heard from Xavier, he was from a distant relative what's going on?Did something happened.You don't usually keep such a big secretly that would affect me.", Seraphina asked Lawrence and then to Casimiere worriedly.Their plan was like giving the clan to a person who was not even surnamed Moreau which is ridiculous.There must be something going on.
"Is something going on with your family.Perhaps I can help.", Seraphina asked.
Lawrence shook his head while Casimiere sighed.Lawrence scowled.
"There was no such thing as passing the inheritance to the outside of the family main faction.It was just that while my son is training at your Obsidian Order mercenary organization back when he was seven years old and I was secretly busy expanding the Crimson Covenant, these distant relatives took an opportunity to make Ethan help the main faction.We really didn't mind it.He was extremely talented in handling the clan's businesses.After five years, Ethan won over the elders and several relatives which made them call Ethan the future heir.At that time they thought my son have no interest in being a clan's leader which was also true.My father was constantly being pressured by the elders and distant relatives to make Ethan a candidate leader aside from my son.My son was on a mission with you and your Obsidian Order men in a far away country.They thought my son was talentless and was just locking in his room painting.My son that time have no interest in the clan's business because he's busy building his own several businesses and the elders don't know about this.Because I couldn't call my son back when he was on a mission, I made a deal that when my son and Ethan turned 24 years old, whoever has the most assets will win and become the leader of the clan.I was also confident that my son will win.At that time my son already have the a lot of secret businesses and organizations in this continent all by himself.We really have no intention of giving the clan to Ethan.", Lawrence explained and the Morelli family finally understood.
Old Casimiere sighed.
"I'm sorry about all of this.It's because I've tolerated these relatives that they've not only dared to keep harming my grandson but also the Country N's princess.", old master Casimiere said and stood up after sighing.
"I'll go get the evidence of Ethan harming my grandson.I was just waiting for my grandson's signal.That brat is probably waiting for us to move.", he continued.
Lawrence worriedly looked at his father's old bones and stood up.He stopped his father.
"No dad.Stay here.I'll go get the evidence.Those distant relatives and elders need your authority.They'll probably won't listen to me again.", Lawrence said and guided his father back to his seat.
"They dare!!Let's see!!Those elders who won't listen to the chief of this clan will be kicked out!!", Casimiere angrily said and went back to his seat in anger.
"Sebastian!Call Magnus here and all the relatives and elders!Call the chiefs of other influencial clan's too.Today, they will all be the witness together with the royalties of Country N of our clan's decision!An hour of two shall be enough for them to arrive!Hmph!", Casimiere continued.
Sebastian nodded and Lawrence helplessly smiled before walking away with Sebastian.
Casimiere sighed when his son disappeared.He looked at the family in front of him with a huge smile.He saw them taken aback by his sudden shift of mood but he didn't care.Right now he was most excited about hearing updates about his grandson and Xue.
"Can we talk about my grandson and Xue?", he asked with a big smile and looked at Naftali excitedly.
Naftali was speechless.
