The mood of the Vanzo mother and daughter was quite complicated at this time, especially for Duke Vanzo, who slightly narrowed her eyes at these two nominal "nieces."
Hmm, actually, they can't be considered nieces, at least not Micara, as both are contemporaries, and the other might even be slightly older than her.
In terms of seniority, Micara could even be considered Vanzo's senior, as she received the First Embrace before Vanzo did.
The only reason she became one of the Thirteen Great Dukes was that in the ancient times before the City of Sin was even established, the Vanzo Family was already one of the ruling noble families of this city. The City Lord Satan and Primogenitor Lilith were later conquerors, who, in order to better subdue the city's nobility, granted them certain autonomy, allowing them to establish their own clans.
