Garius gave a small nod, the corner of his lips lifting faintly.

”Mmm.”

Francesca smiled, her gaze following the vanishing trio.

”You’re thinking about what’s coming, aren’t you?” she asked quietly. ”How busy it will be... for all of us.”

He didn’t answer at first.

His eyes lingered on the path beyond the estate.

”...Yes.”

Francesca gently tightened her grip on his arm.

”Are you worried?”

Garius exhaled softly.

”No,” he said with quiet conviction. ”I know what’s coming. And I know who will make the first move.”

Garius’s lips curved into a calm, knowing smile.

”They’ll try everything to make it final. Because they know they can’t challenge Armand’s strength. Neither in economy, military, nor our autonomous governance. So they’ll use the only move left to them.”

He narrowed his eyes slightly, gaze distant but sharp.

”I’m certain of it.”

Francesca’s smile deepened, elegant and composed.

”So... if they do?” she asked softly.

Garius turned his eyes to hers.

”We won’t lose anything,” he said, steady and unflinching. ”Not the people. Not the land.”

Then, slowly, he turned back to the horizon. The sky stretched wide and open, like a stage awaiting its curtain call.

His voice, low but resolute, cut through the breeze.

”We will gain everything.”

”The problem is...” Garius said with a smirk, his tone light but laced with meaning. ”All our sons will be far too busy for the next three months. And someone’s bound to be annoyed by that.”

Francesca let out a soft, elegant laugh, resting her head gently against his shoulder.

Before Garius could continue, he turned slightly at the sound of approaching footsteps.

Alf and Erinnette appeared at the rooftop entrance, both bowing respectfully.

”My lord,” they said in unison.

Garius gave a nod of acknowledgment, his calm expression never faltering.

”Looks like Heres will arrive at my private chamber soon,” he said softly.

”Yes, dear~” Francesca replied warmly, watching him with serene affection as he turned to leave.

Just before Garius reached the door to the rooftop stairwell, he paused.

He turned slightly and glanced back at Francesca over his shoulder.

”We’ll be welcoming a new daughter-in-law soon,”

Francesca chuckled, her eyes twinkling with amusement.

”Phenelopie has already been informed, dear,” she said knowingly. ”We don’t need to lift a finger. Let Javier handle it.”
