Romanoff Dukedom: Plan (15)

"Ius, what's there to argue?" 

"There's nothing to argue, Duke Gertrude. There are only questions needing answers. I came here to have a civil conversation with you. Yet, here you are, driving me away with your unwarranted comments."

"I'm only telling you to stop this farce. I concurred with the Elders' decision. Isn't it enough that the punishment of imprisonment has been rescinded? And now, you want to oppose another one of their decisions?"

Ius couldn't help but grit his teeth at his father's words. 

It's been two full weeks since the night Erwin was killed. Many things had happened in between that Ius didn't have the time to sort out both his thoughts and feelings. 

Before the issues that arose from Erwin's head had been resolved, another one had appeared. This time, Ius was not involved with the mission.
