Rohan had been taken by surprise. He had no idea his daughter would propose something so blasphemous in his eyes. He may have even been a bit offended. "Nonsense, daughter. We value tradition in this family. This is how the Celdrua Household has worked for centuries-" Rohan said matter-of-factly.
"We are in a new age Father. Can't you see that? Things are changing everyday. Just because you fear change, does not mean change isn't necessary. We are split based on prejudices that no longer matter. Mages to the front and non mages to the back? Is that the tradition you hold so sacred? We are stronger as one house-"
"But Aleja, what will happen to the assets owned by our family in the capital? Are you proposing we uproot our businesses there? Sever our connections? And what happens to Calen? He is the head of the Branch House."
Aleja shook her head after Mikael asked his question. "We have enough money to last us generations and then some, cousin. When these Raiders, or Gods forbid, an entirely different enemy attacks what good will being split between two regions do us? This is about our future. I have no intentions of becoming Heir so should my father pass or step down, it can go to Calen." Aleja said finally. There was a silent between them, almost awkward for her father in particular.
"Well then...Let us settle this with a vote. No need to prolong the discussion. We all know the stakes."Rohan said. "All in favor of moving the Main house North...?" The pink haired woman glanced around the table. Just when she thought nobody would vote in favor of her suggestion, there came her savior.
"Aye." Calen said. The entire table turned to him as he sported a warm smile upon his lips. Even Rohan was surprised. Suddenly, about six more of them raised their hands, outvoting the remaining two.
"Then it's settled." Aleja said. "Now, let's eat."
