Since the end of the war, every member of the Kiehl Empire’s Lionheart clan had been so busy that they hadn’t gotten any rest[1].0

The Elders, Gilead, Carmen, and the younger generations of the clan had all been busy settling the aftermath of the war alongside the rulers of all the countries involved, and they hadn’t been able to return to the main estate until just a few days ago.0

Under such circumstances, the one who had taken responsibility for managing all of the clan’s affairs was none other than the Matriarch, Ancilla.16

The victory on the battlefield, the death of all of the Demon Kings, and the return of the Great Vermouth; all of these may have been a source of infinite glory for the continent, but for Ancilla, they had all come together to create a situation where she couldn’t help but start to suffer from neuroses.0

Members of the News Guilds and other reporters had made their way to the main estate from all across the continent. Unable to muster up the courage to knock on the gates of the estate directly, they instead set up camp right in front of the Lionheart mansion. On top of that were all the pilgrims who were also drawn from all over the continent. When this crowd, which included those drawn by the news of Vermouth’s return, had started to enclose the walls of the mansion fully, Ancilla had thrown open the mansion’s gates while wearing armor instead of her usual dress and holding a sword instead of a fan.0

Get lost!0

That was what she had truly wanted to shout at them, but Ancilla couldn’t allow herself to do something so crass. What Ancilla needed to display to all those present was the nobility of the Lionheart clan’s Matriarch, who could calmly accept the endless glory that had been bestowed upon her clan while also presenting the image of a gracious noblewoman who was carefully managing all the affairs of her clan inside and out. As such, Ancilla kept her sword sheathed at her side, and accompanied by her knights, she gave a quiet speech.0

To summarize the contents of her speech, she informed her audience that this was the Lionheart clan’s private property, so they should stop hanging around while being such an annoying and noisy disturbance and just get lost already.0

By now, the Lionheart clan held a greater social status than even the Kiehl Emperor — no — all of the leaders of the continent combined. And Ancilla was the Matriarch of this amazing clan and the mother of its next Patriarch. 0

So how could anyone...0
