Meical nodded slightly, his expression calm but thoughtful, letting the weight of Min-jae's words sink in.
"Second..
" Min-jae continued, "I need to reform the Amagi household. With Veynar and Dorian gone, someone has to set the rules straight. Many of the old regulations make no sense, and some people have been left to act without proper guidance. I am, practically, the head of this household now, and I need to make sure it runs in a way that's fair and effective."
He paused, watching Meical's face. There was no humor there, only careful consideration.
That was enough for Min-jae pressed on.
"And third.." he said, voice lowering slightly, "my lands in the North. I have building projects, businesses to oversee, and plans for a prep school for women that cannot wait. These are things I have dreamed of doing for years. Now that I can, I must. There's no time to waste."
