Ketis did not know but one of the first missions Ves was given was to develop war crime laser weapons. The system definitely lives on the dark side of the spectrum.
She found it regretful that Ves did not take these risk factors seriously. He shouldn't be stupid enough to deny they existed, but his overwhelming enthusiasm towards Demoncasting caused him to look at this dangerous practice with rose-tinted glasses.

Ves did not take this risk too seriously. "I can see why you have that impression, but you are unfairly maligning me. I am perfectly able to control myself. I occasionally choose not to just so that I can fire up my passion and achieve better results. Tell you what. If you are so worried that I will go astray, why not tackle Demoncasting together? We can apply both of our strengths in a single work. In the meantime, we can continually monitor each other and make sure we are not crossing any lines. Does that sound like a good suggestion?"

He couldn't imagine what Gloriana would do when presented with this situation!

It frustrated her that she lacked the qualifications to understand what made the Heavensword so much better than a masterwork sword like the Decapitator!

I hope Aurelia learned some of her social skills from other people than her mother. That line is exactly why Ves has a headache every time he goes to bed.
"Reginald and Linda may remain unyielding in the present, but anything can happen in the future." Gloriana said in a hopeful tone. "If the Crossers are met with disaster, then I hope the goodwill that you have built within the Cross Clan is enough to convince its survivors to take refuge in the Larkinson Clan. That way, we will stand to gain a large batch of thugs and raise our combat power even further."

You know he was a pirate warlord in his own right? Skully is still skully. He even is in the unbound faction. what part of that does not scream "handle with care"?
The main reason why Gloriana approved of Ketis' intentions to work at the Cross Clan was to have a female mech designer upstage Master Benedict!

This is why Ves is in charge even when he should not be.
Ketis had the feeling that Gloriana only really cared about that last part.

how has Ketis not murdered this women yet?
"Well, he is not in the right state of mind to do so." Gloriana responded while letting out an exasperated breath. "Tell you what. I will make a decision on his behalf. As his wife and the director of the Design Department, I think it is fair to say that I have the authority to speak for him when he is out of commission for whatever reason. I absolutely support your initiative. You have my blessing to accept the Cross Clan's offer. Show the Crossers how much better the Larkinsons are at managing mech designers. Teach them how to respond to the actual needs of the mech pilots that depend on them rather than impose your work on them in a top-down fashion. Above all else, show them that a man such as Master Benedict is ultimately inferior to women such as you and I."

Finally something to be on team good to counter act the craziness of Ves.
Ketis remained silent even as the Heavensword feebly attempted to remind her that she had a friend on her back.
