Indeed I am. As count, I now bear the great burden of ensuring those who live within my territory are safe and prosperous.
linkLorenzvolume_up
Such a vital matter requires my leadership in diplomacy, military efforts, and economic measures, yet I will gladly handle them all to protect my people.
linkLysitheavolume_up
Your burden as a count, huh?
linkLorenzvolume_up
Precisely. Hilda's older brother, the venerable Lord Holst, is also making great strides as the new head of House Goneril.
linkLorenzvolume_up
When will you be inheriting your rightful title, Lysithea?
linkLysitheavolume_up
I...have no intention of doing so. House Ordelia will end with my father.
linkLorenzvolume_up
I see. May I ask your reasoning?
linkLysitheavolume_up
My parents have been subject to one horrible experience after another for decades now, precisely because they are nobility.
linkLysitheavolume_up
So, I want them to be able to live out their golden years at least in a little bit of peace without the responsibilities of the house tying them down.
linkLysitheavolume_up
Yet...they would lose everything were the territory to fall into chaos after they vacated the leadership.

I'm doing everything I can at present to make sure our people continue to be safe and fulfilled, even once my parents are gone.
