One of the Living ancestors stopped counting his prayer beads and looked from the speechless Emilee to the smiling Damien before parting his old lips.
"A member of the family who wished evil for the clan is to be executed. However, a stranger who wishes good for the family is to be made the Clan's head, only when no one from the family can bear the burden.
"A stranger must be observed, tried, and made to go through the clan's teachings before they are made to lead the family.
"A stranger must not be arrogant in front of their previous masters.
"A stranger must be respectful to the members of the clan and not use the clan for their own selfish agendas
"A leader must not lie about what would benefit the clan."
After one of the ancestors quoted the rules in the family's book, another Living ancestor passed his Judgment.
