Sylquis nodded slowly. "I see," she replied, "And you assume that this heir is male? It must be... though how he could gain power... I don't know." She paused, "There is another matter you should consider as well, Matron. If this rogue House has come back from the grave; who supports it, and who else knows? I know you have many enemies, as do we all... but who would support slaying us all? My brother implied as much; saying that this would not be a single pronged attack; but these enemies of ours wished to wipe out our entire bloodline." she gave a pointed look at Alliene, "You will remember that your late sister, my mentor also addopted me into her house. Unless you plan on denying that; I am as much family to you as your sister's children are." she paused, "And though there are more important matters, I would thank you not to forget that my sister's son may also claim kinship through that." she sighed, "But there is not time for that." Sylquis looked curious for a moment, "Matron, you said said that only us four may enter and leave this room; might I ask how this ward works? Does it function upon our family's blood or...?" she waited for a responce.
