The next day, a series of Ministers had been dismissed from Tesarius's court, some of who included Marquess Mormont, Count Jenkins, Duke Lambort, and Grand Duke Bloom, whose dismissal shocked everyone the most. There were a few more, those closest to the Duke and the Count save for Baron Salista, but none was more shocking that the dismissal of the Emperor's best friend, and his former father in law.
Of course, Grand Duke Bloom did not take it silently, for he demanded an explanation, albeit privately, to which Tesarius obliged. Whether he had his suspicions or not, the Grand Duke was still his former wife's father, and the strongest House after House Izekail. He needed to keep formality. So he did what he believed was the best. He explained everything to the Grand Duke.
