Northstar Vale Brick and mortar as thick as scripture

Thankfully, the situation didn't call for the Duchess to intervene and her worries could be put to rest, for now. There was a wave of relief flowing through her body as a larger smile peeled on her lips as she looked back at Yuudai to ensure that her friend was truly okay with this. But what she found strange was how quickly Ibis turned from a sour teenager to a peppy woman with a flip of a dime, Jesus, does pregnancy really do this to a woman? Though to be fair, Vespera was like this before she was pregnant.

It seemed to be official that Clay was to be welcomed into the Empire as a peasant for now, but she was sure that the son of the loving Valette would get him climbing the ranks in no time right?

Right?

Though when Clay did mention his father it did leave a sour taste in her mouth, but no matter, she would put that man behind her... Hopefully.

The young boy asked what his rank would be as he cast a glance at Yuudai and the dark woman, the Duchess wondered if it was her place to say where he would start up, but she didn't want to have Ibis do all the work. "You will start out with the rank of "Peasant," yes I know that rank doesn't sound ideal, but then after you are in this pack for... About a month, you will be moved to the "Nobel," rank," the Duchess said simply. Though Vespera didn't know how the boy would take it, even Vespera found the rank "peasant" a bit of an insult, then yet again she was immediately put in the Duchess rank.

The woman then looked to Yuudai if he had anything to add in case she forgot something.
