the branch family needs its own design department. it also a good place to put mech design Vas think useful. That his wife disapproves of working in the main department.
Ark goes Arf Arf Also if ever Ark becomes an Ace pilot and Davute wins the War thereby making Ves less important... . They can support Ark as a counterbalance against Ves right? Like create a rift between larkinson clan and larkinson family? Lol it sound far fetched but then its possible lol . Unless Ves advances to senior and his fleet slowly transitions into 1st class standards lol
maybe Ark doesn't realize it but maybe they are slipping back into being good little slaves of a state. Ves is right here. Little by little is all it takes before he's tied down and that's the thing he wants. He needs to set clear lines on what he's willing to give and take. Ark may see it as selfish and obsessive, but he's not the one to build this empire from the ground up after being a plaything from higher powers.
