wouldn't have been able to lose his standing if the person responsible wasn't a noble with the same level of power as him. "...So, what do you intend to do Ariel-sama?" "As promised, I will leave him to Ghyslaine" Luke chewed his lips. Well, someone is angry about it. Ariel knew how much Luke values the House. In this case, prioritizing Ghyslaine over Luke. “Ultimately, Philemon-sama… and whether the Notus house has really betrayed us. I still can’t confirm the credibility of this information.” " ............" "Supposing that we’ve been betrayed, then I will execute Philemon. Then I will appoint Luke as the head of the Notus family at that time " "If you have not been betrayed? " "I will persuade Ghyslaine and we will settle for another person’s head." " ...... Who is that other person? " Ah, I see, even if Philemon is the main culprit, she still has uses for him. Keep her tools alive, kill others. Selfish, but it can’t be helped. I am no saint either, I can’t afford to care for people outside of my circle.
"Luke, that’s alright with you, right?" "...Whether it’s betrayal or murder, there isn’t a shred of evidence." Luke had a sour face. I understood at the beginning, but now it's a face that I can’t read. He’s not giving much of a reaction even when he hears that his parents are going to be killed. "Someone might be trying to lure us into a trap..." Saying that, he looked at me for an instant. "Luke, rest assured. As I said before, Rudeus-sama will not take over the house of Notus.” "Ariel-sama, talking about that in front of Rudeus is...!" "No, exactly because he's in front of us, I need to be clear about it." Said Ariel while inhaling a big breath, as if to make a declaration. "No matter what achievements he accumulates during this fight, I have absolutely no intention of granting nobility to Rudeus-sama." I have no intention of accepting it either. I've never thought of such a thing.
