A little backstory from another point of view to continue my series...patience please this segment is short but purposeful :)
Excerpt written by Lady Delphine
In two months I will be participate in the Trial of Agoon. I will be the youngest member in Guild history to participate at the age of fourteen. I will swear my allegiance to the Guild and its future and take my rightful title of Maestro.
The Regents are in disagreement and insist on having me wait until I am seventeen but I refuse to adhere to their plans any further. They know that their pitiful reign of equality is at an end. I hold them completely responsible for the weakened condition of the Guild. I will win the challenge effortlessly since Cicada has trained me well in the art of combat. He has proven to be without equal in hand to hand fighting. I have given him my word that his younger brother will enter my custody and be cared for once the rebellion begins. I am certain that he will make an excellent servant for Dio.
It really is quite an honor that I am bestowing upon him. After all Dio is my most precious jewel.
Once my reign begins I will purge the other Houses in order to ensure my absolute authority over the Guild. My opinions will no longer be disregarded as frivolous. I will make all the House Regents pay dearly for their ignorance and insufferableness, especially House Hamilton. House Elaclaire will be slighted no more!
The land dwellers owe their existence to us and now that I have finally confirmed the existence of the colony ship Exile, they will be made to understand that their vile lives are made possible by Guild technology that can be easily taken back.
Alas, someone is coming, perhaps it is Cicada with more news. He has proven to be my greatest ally. He has watched over Dio for me with utmost care. There have been no attempts on our lives but as the Trial date moves closer I fear to think of what might be if the others get wind of my plans.
