“Oh? How arrogant. How dare she compare herself to Lord Caspian? She’ll only bring disgrace to herself.”

“We’ll be sure to crush her when the day comes!”

The heirs expressed their views.

Sylvia reminded them, “Alright. That’s all. I have other matters to attend to. You’re all reputable figures in Dhord City. You should know what to do when the time comes.
