It might hurt their pride to acknowledge it, but it remained true that the future of their clan as it was now really could be molded on a whim by people like Emilia.

Luckily, there were likely very few forces within the country that could meet Emilia's requirements, and none of them were on the same scale as their Nightingale clan.

Even if the crimson-haired girl allowed Noelle to do as she pleased in order to vent her anger for being 'abandoned', the elders didn't believe that her status in Emilia's heart could high enough to really make the little princess give up her objectives.
