Chapter 36: This is All For Sefira (2)
Keter's suspicion was spot on. The Order of the Galaxy in the archive supported Reganon—his character, his beliefs, and...
Even his plan.
Gant, the captain of the fourth division of the Order of the Galaxy and Reganon’s closest confidant, said with concern, “Do you think the patriarch will be shaken by Keter’s disappearance? I’m sure he’ll be furious if Katherine disappeared, with her being a clear candidate for the Seven Stars of the North. But Keter has only been part of the family for two days. Since there hasn’t been much interaction, I doubt he’ll feel much sorrow.”
Reganon nodded.
“Besil is a man who clearly separates personal and professional matters. Even so, he forgave Keter for his misdeeds and gave him a mission. It was an act of leniency beyond what he’s shown his own sons. If Keter goes missing, Besil will likely mobilize the Order of the Galaxy to find him.”
“But they won’t find him. Keter has gone somewhere no one can reach.”
“I do regret not being able to send off Katherine first, but Keter is still just a clueless child. He should not be caught up in our crisis.”
“Indeed. He’s been acting recklessly, without knowing how dangerous the noble society really is. He doesn’t belong here.”
“In a way, Keter has helped us. The Bydent family requested that we deal with him now, and we can use that to demand more in return.”
Bydent, a family known for spearmanship, was trying to dethrone the Sefira family from its position as a master family so that they could take it.
In this situation, Reganon formed a secret pact with the Bydent family, promising to make the Sefira family relinquish the title voluntarily. He also agreed to recommend Bydent as the next candidate for the master family. In return, the Bydent family promised to leave the Sefira family members alone; that was how strong and politically powerful the Bydent family was.
