Theodore: The Lykaios family are mere Counts!
Marquis Ellen: Shhh! (Covers his grandson’s mouth) They’re crazy and insanely monstrously strong. Especially the Countess! And that doesn’t even begin to speak of the army at their back!
Marquis Ellen who was from the same generation as the Count and Countess remembered all that had happened between them with great difficulty. The trauma in him as deep as Duke Eckart’s was when it came to the late Empress.
It was during a family meal that the Marquis had discovered that the Crown Prince’s Aide was related to Lady Iris Lykaios born as the youngest Lady Cameron.
He suddenly has a memory float to the top of his mind of how he’d woken up to a bloody pile of severed heads, that he recognized to be the assassins he’d sent after Cedric and Callisto, neatly arranged on his bed.
Now that he thought more of it, he could now easily believe that it was Cedric Porter who’d done that and not the ‘barbarian’ Crown Prince who seemed genuinely confused when he’d confronted him.

Cedric: I’m not bloodthirsty, I’m really not. (A bloody mountain of corpses behind him that he has buried and sodded so that it would turn in to a proper mound.)
Callisto who stood beside him nodded approvingly at his handiwork, even though there was some mild disappointment there: You’re really not. This is so tame and gentle.
