Bab 615: Banquets are...so much fun...

<Ah yes, the awkward extended family banquet, the perfect time for shenanigans and/or visceral arguments over petty matters like real estate and inheritances...think we'll see someone get stabbed over a fiancée being stolen?>

=I...want to say no, but I get the feeling you're about to give a very weird justification as to why you were thinking that...=

<Isn't it a law of the universe that if a large family gathering occurs, especially one that involves extended family members, that somebody will bring up a topic that is incredibly awkward and will no doubt be a major source of conflict that would cause a permanent scar in the relationships of all involved?>

=...=

<What?>

=Dare I ask what kind of topic would cause an entire family to schism in the first place?=

<Politics, what else?>

=Ah...like succession politics?=

<Close, but even pettier.>

=Ah...=
