Plans were being made, and progressing faster than Rhea would hope. The company had been placed in a sort of choke-hold, and to unhand the chaos, Alphard signed over partial command to Orion—With Rhea as an overseer.

However— Alphard did mean this in the strictest of ways possible, that Rhea and Orion were equals when it came to the company.

It helped, as Johann reminded them all, that Rhea had spent time learning the trade and building up relationships in this branch and with the employees.
But there was another aspect that Alphard needed to worry about.

This meeting was going on without Rhea, as Alphard had wanted his wife away for the time being—What better way to ensure she is elsewhere, when he knew her schedule better than his own at the moment.

Maverick had promised Alfie to keep an eye on her, when he was on shift, of course. But even he felt a little rusty when Orion had come in needing suggestions.

Apparently, the chair behind the big desk required patience and blood to manage the same command it once had.
This 'trial run' reminded Orion that he was not cut out for more than being second.

"To recap, all your assets, funds, properties, and belongings will go to Rhea Amory Black. Which include all Black family memorable, artifacts, documents, and anything physically in any of your manors, offices, and lies in both the shared Black family Gringotts account as well as your personal holdings?" Alphard nodded and continued to sign that parchment before him.

"I had planned to give this all to my nephew."
"Would you like to give him something?... I have not had the pleasure of meeting your wife, but I'm sure she would understand." Alphard knew she would, but the idea of all of his family members in the room awaiting the final decision of his Will. Basically dividing up his entire life's work, only to be falsified and all be given to Rhea was enough of a target on her back.

"I would like to give him my bachelor estate. I haven't lived in it for some time now. And add a monthly stimulate from my first personal vault...Rhea can add more if she pleases." Watching Johann scribbling the notes in his parchment had Alphard take to writing a reminder as well.

"Regulus...Damn, what could I give the boy?"
"What has he shown interest in?"
"He and my wife have been sketchy doodles and sending them to one another, but in all my years, he has yet to mention it to me..." The suggestions had come and gone, but soon Regulus had gotten his own monthly stimulate as well.

Giving him the option to leave the family if he so pleased, perhaps joining his brother in the forgotten manor.

"I have Walburga's name stricken out of the record. What of Cygnus?"
"He tried to shag my wife, he can rot in hell." Johann's face had turned grim after the shock had expired and dutifully nodded in conclusion.
"How about your nieces?"
"Ah yes, Andy...I would like Andy to get double what Sirius gets as a monthly stimulus. She has a daughter, I am sure she will be wise upon spending."
"Is there are friends you wish to share anything with?"
"Not at the moment, Johann...Shite, Rhea is due for a break soon...If I think of something more, I'll owl you." It was cruel to keep this from Rhea, but he needed to go flush out the finer details.

Before she gets overwhelmed before things could be properly spoken about.

And truly, she did not need to hear numbers or the amount he's accumulated thus far. "I will be doing some digging and start to formate what we have thus far. Adding will be of no issue, items or loved ones." Johann informed, and Alphard nodded as he collected his own bundle of parchments into a folder and push them aside.
