After all, the food chain within the manor appeared to be shifting in an eerie direction.
At the top, naturally, stood Ivyst. Below her were Baron Augusta, who had yet to make an appearance, and the Imperial Princess's former entourage.

As for Lynn… Ordinarily, his status should have been the lowest due to his lack of experience.
