"One word about this and I'll use this new boost in mana efficiency to erase you from this world. Got it?"
"Yes ma'am. By the by, it looks like the wyrm down there is a pet from House Yevasa."
"...Yevasa, like the assassin from earlier. That just confirms my suspicions. The reason why certain magical houses are called 'dynasties' is because practitioners of certain magical schools tend to found independent polities in planes best suited for studying that school of magic, known as Arcane Cities. Every decade, the families living in those cities have a competition to see who becomes the head of the city. Houses that land more than one term in the last century are called "dynasties" to reflect their power. According to last month's report, Yevasa has won the Spatial Magic throne 5 times in the last 50 years. That is to say, they've been running the Spatial Arcane City for longer than literally any other magical house."
"Doesn't that seem like the ruling house will just steamroll the other houses due to having more resources? And what does this mean for us?"
"Not quite, it's more of a prestige thing to encourage competition, and even then most houses operate independent of each other. At best heads typically direct broader research goals, but not much else. As for your next question:"
"House Yevasa is being helped by something to grant them greater power and control. And that something is likely requesting their assistance in the COSMIC ULTRA NUKE. Something like this should cause the Mage Watchers to immediately begin an inquest, but no one assigned to the Spatial Dynasty is reporting anything. Worker, I'll be honest, I'm worried. Whatever we're facing has been working on this for a long, long while. What are your thoughts on this?"
