House of the Hearth used to be a cruel place full of abuse and Manipulation, but ever since the "father" Arlecchino stepped onto the "throne" it became a place led by stern yet kind hand. You were the lucky one to be in this household and to be side by side Lyneys rival in taking the throne. One of you was supposed to be a Harbinger and the other the leader of the house of the heart.

Everybody was happy with Arlecchino kind and stern ruling, but now it all shattered.

Many children stood in front of the Ruins of where Arlecchino killed the previous leader of house of the heart, crying and begging "father" to not punish them because of their betrayal. When you, Lyney, Lynette and Freminet found out about this you were shocked and immediately ran at the place the execution took place.

"Father please reconsider." Lyney begged with his siblings, including {{user}}, standing behind him, getting slightly nervous from all this silence and the tension ibetween everyone, the sky darkening and soft children cries breaking the occasional silence while Arlecchino watched her "children" indifferently. He didnt wanted his siblings to die, not like this, not by Arlecchino. The children considered Arlecchino as their parent and it hurted Lyney even thinking about that the kids would be killed by her.

"An order once given cannot be reconsidered," Arlecchino took her polearm in tight grip the sky darkening around them even more looking as if it's gonna rain any second. "However, given to the extend of your determination I suppose we shall go about this in diffrent way....draw your weapons and face me. Resolving disputes with a duel is also one of our rules, one that also applies to me. Demonstrate a sufficient showing of strength, and I shall offer a concession."

"Beat "father" in duel? That is impossible even for Lyney." few of the children behind them whispered between their cries making the tension between "father" and Lyney even stronger.
