Yes, of course. First of all, the Memento family occupied King's Landing, but it seems that they spent the New Year in King's Landing. It seems that they claim to be providing protection to the noble families of the Royal Capital Bloc who were attacked by the Allied Forces.

"The anti-Memento coalition is in a delicate state. The noble families cannot stand against the Memento family alone, which is why they have formed a coalition, but they are not monolithic. They are insisting that the noble houses unite to liberate King's Landing from the Memento family, but so far, it seems that the Memento family is not willing to listen to them.

"Yes, that's right. The anti-Memento coalition seems to be pinning its hopes on the Reinisatz family, which has officially become a hegemonic aristocrat by forming an alliance with the Doren royal family. However, the Reinisatz are at war with the Kingdom of Risorthe. However, there is a strong possibility that they will soon make a truce with the Kingdom of Risorthe.

That's right. But we prevented an attack on the city that was about to be attacked, and it has settled down to a skirmish. And since the stolen territory was originally the territory of the Risolute family, they may have judged that it would not be so painful to lose it.

"It is an expansion of the power of our own camp, Mr. Ars. It seems that they have changed their minds after seeing the Fontana Kingdom's movements this winter. While the two powerful houses, the Kingdom of Risorthe and the House of Reinsatz, have been fighting each other, the Kingdom of Fontana has taken three noble houses. Seeing this, they decided that it is better to take what is easy to take. The two sides agreed to temporarily shelve the conflict and extend their reach to the surrounding noble territories.

To summarize the current situation, the Kingdom of Fontana, the Kingdom of Rizzolte, the House of Reinsatz, and the House of Memento are trying to swallow the surrounding area, and it is now a matter of how the smaller powers will navigate their way through the situation.

Until now, there were several noble families fighting each other, but there was a historical bias not to reduce the number of noble families too much, and the powerful noble families became the hegemonic noble families and protected them.

On the other hand, the Reinsatz family, the original hegemonic aristocrats, is uncertain whether they will really consider the position of the aristocratic families like the traditional hegemonic aristocrats, since the king is missing and the royal family is protected by the Memento family.

In other words, from my point of view and Rion's point of view, although there will be four forces competing for territory in the future, each noble family on the side of the smaller forces will choose where to join and will be rather unlikely to join under any one of the forces.
