Romanoff Dukedom: Plan (9)

"Pardon my insolence, esteemed elders. However, I am here to refute the punishment you've laid down on the members of the Valk League."

The Elders looked at the Duke with anger and confusion in their eyes. Their gazes were blazing, almost as if they wanted to burn the Duke right then and there. 

They had not expected the Duke to come to them and get straight to the point. They thought that Duke Romanoff would accept what they had decided immediately. After all, that was what he had been doing for the past several years. 

"What makes you think we have the time to discuss such trivial matters, Duke Romanoff? As you know, we are in the middle of discussing the future of our clan. We have no time to waste since it's imperative to gather information. Erwin Pelt's death had brought us to this kind of situation."

Yet again, the fault for the workload increasing fell on Erwin's death. And who was it that killed Erwin? Ius Romanoff.
