The tea ceremony with Alaric would take place at 4 PM. Since 3 o'clock, Caspar and Finland had been getting ready in the living room with tea and small cakes.
They talked about the young man and discussed the possibility of Caspar supporting him to replace him as the clan leader.
"Hmm... About the leadership, there's no doubt at all," commented Caspar. "But here, the problem is the ideology he brought. You know the Meier family has always been the leader of the purists. Even Ned and Portia are also purists. If Elios changed the clan's policies by pursuing a purist ideology, it will be dangerous for the clan's future."
"Oh... So, it was your goal to ask him to come. You want to know him better before deciding whether it's right to leave the clan in his hands or not."
