Chapter 93: The Fall

The previous Family Head of the Marier family, Judith, died in battle in the Dragon Ridge Mountain Range, and his eldest son, Hernan, was unexpectedly poisoned at Ireya's birthday banquet by the Blood Moon Association. Ultimately, the position of Family Head fell upon Judith's youngest son, Pearls.

Compared to his arrogantly proud older brother, Pearls was undoubtedly much more humble. He was very good at listening to the advice of his advisors and vassals, but this also made Pearls somewhat indecisive.

Under normal circumstances, this would not have been a big issue, since, although Judith had died, he had left behind quite a legacy, including a substantial amount of gold lions, as well as cunning strategists and brave and skilled vassals.

With their help, Pearls took over Lake City without much difficulty.
