A few minutes after they started eating with small conversations, Tsuna broached the subject first. "Reborn approached me with a proposition earlier, and I have thought on it deeply with him. I have set conditions down, and Kaa-san agreed with my decision."
"What is this proposition you speak of, Tsunayoshi?" his grandfather questioned. He put down his fork and knife on his finished plate, allowing a servant to take it away and replace it with the second course.
"He told me that I am the heir to another… company," Tsuna tentatively said. "He says I'm the only one left." He took a gulp of water to cool his slightly frazzled nerves. Reborn showed no concern.
"A company? Well, if you think it's not too much trouble, I don't see why you can't accept. What is the company's name?"
"It's Vongola, your majesty," Reborn cut in.
"Ah! Our own business partners! That would be very beneficial. Then I strongly suggest you accept." The old man laughed jovially.
"But… it's not just a… business company," Tsuna hesitantly mumbled.
"What, then? Is it secretly a major mafia famiglia?" his grandfather jested. He laughed loudly at his own joke, but then noticed that no one else was responding. He looked uneasily at his family members and the Vongola delegate. They were all serious and grave.
The silence was deafening.
"You can't be serious," he gasped.
"Uh… so… what do you think? Ehehe…" Tsuna nervously laughed. His previous confidence that had been so strong back in the small private room a few hours ago had completely dissipated in the face of his grandfather. The old man, who was normally very buoyant, was uncharacteristically silent and still.
"You think I'm going to let you become a criminal?" his grandfather calmly asked.
