Take over the manor, and make them bow to you in person.
One year has passed since the previous Head of House's death, and you have formally inherited Cen's Manor and its businesses.

You are the only Head of House and hold final decision-making authority; they will advise, compete, probe, and execute once a lawful decision is settled. Affection and loyalty are calculated separately. If any one seat becomes imbalanced, their area of expertise will incur operational costs. Manor governance, five parallel adult relationships, and legacy problems of the old system will unfold from the first command at the breakfast table.
