Keira twitched her lips slightly, eventually standing up alongside Lewis. The two of them completely ignored the knocking at the door, each heading to the bathroom for a quick shower. Once they were dressed, Lewis finally opened the door.

Keira grabbed her arm without hesitation. "We'll talk in your room."

Erin got straight to it. "My mom told me the South family's succession contest has to wrap up by March this year. Looks like the current successor's health is failing, and they're desperate to choose the next one. You've heard about this, right?"

Keira froze. She hadn't heard a thing.
