"I can't believe Zion intends to kill a Monarch," Michael said. "It seems like something happened between them that we don't know about, Father."
"Maybe it happened during the tournament?" Lady Callista commented. "I heard the Ashford Clan and Zion argued at the start before collaborating to make things work. Maybe he kept a grudge because of that."
Arthur shook his head. "Zion may be petty and would not hesitate to return any grudges, but it doesn't seem to be that simple. Also, he mentioned that his target was Aaron Ashford alone, not the Ashford Clan as a whole.
"This means that, whatever happened between them, Aaron had done something he couldn't forgive no matter what."

"What do you think, Hans?" Lady Callista asked. "You've been paying attention to my grandson years ago. Did he mention anything about his grudge against Aaron?"
