The years that followed flew by Jörgen in a flash. His workload became mountainous, and after clearing it all, his status within the clan rose. With that elevated status came further increased responsibility within the clan, which meant even more work. That cycle continued as he worked as hard as he could, and before he knew it he was over thirty, ranked sixth within the clan, had started a family, and had become the Wolf Clan’s permanent adviser. He had taken two women as his wives and had children with each. He couldn’t be more satisfied with his current life.

“In the end, without your instruction, I never would’ve gotten this far, second-in-command,” Jörgen admitted. Those were his true feelings. If he’d still been the cheeky upstart he used to be, he was sure he never would’ve risen to his current position. He had to admit that Bruno’s lessons in conduct and etiquette, and perhaps most importantly, those relating to improving his social skills, had been a huge boon for Jörgen when it had come to making a living within the clan.

“Heh, stop that. I’m not second-in-command anymore,” Bruno said with a wistful half-smile. Moments ago, there had been a ceremony to amend the Oath of the Chalice, and Bruno had stepped down from his position as the second-in-command of the Wolf Clan, becoming its leader of subordinates instead. As far as anyone was concerned, it was billed as a promotion, but under the Chalice system a patriarch’s successor was chosen from among his sworn children—there was no precedent for a successor to be chosen from among a subordinate. In other words, Bruno had lost the qualifications to lead the Wolf Clan as Fárbauti’s successor.

As much as Fárbauti was fond of Bruno, the truth was that for the past ten years, Bruno hadn’t accomplished anything of merit, and simply couldn’t compete with the rising stars of the clan. Jörgen owed a lot to Bruno so he did find it a shame, but well, such was the passage of time. The strong rose to the top, and when they grew weak, they were demoted to the lower ranks and replaced by someone stronger. That was the way of the world in Yggdrasil.

“Hey, Uncle, congratulations. You’ve done some fine work up until now,” said a cheerful voice. When he turned to look, he saw a blond-haired, blue-eyed man in his mid-forties, wearing his trademark grin as usual. It was someone Jörgen knew well, a man who was highly respected within the Wolf Clan. But from his prolonged exposure to the man, Jörgen knew that behind that smile lurked a coolheadedness that was almost inhuman.

That being said, Jörgen didn’t dislike that side of him. It was thanks to the man’s levelheaded judgment that the Wolf Clan’s casualties had been kept to a minimum in their ongoing feud with the Horn Clan and had been able to prevent their advances. Thanks to him, the Wolf Clan had enjoyed peace for the last ten years.
