The Kondo Family, as the main house on this land, naturally possesses supreme power. However, throughout the realm of Izumo, there are many tomb-robbing families like the Kondo Family, and above them are the noble families of generations, even the King himself.
But Kondo Hyoe, the head of the Kondo Family, is a diligent and ambitious person. Under his management, the fief is showing a trend of prosperity. Unfortunately, Kondo Hyoe has never had offspring, and no male child has been born in all the direct blood relatives of the entire family.
