Each Harboring Ill Intentions

"Even if you want to help him and make him the next helmsman, he won't help bring us any benefits since he doesn't care about the Howards!

"Besides, if an outsider who isn't blood-related to the Howards can become the helmsman, I'm afraid the other members of the family will be against this decision too!"

Ezra had always been extremely well-behaved in front of Felix. He would obey all of his orders, and he would rarely speak out against him.

But Ezra had no choice but to speak out now.
