I'm rereading this Erya is a lot more forgiving to sir Zinas than I would have been
His entire family dies, he passes out at the funeral, and Zinas makes snide comments about "sleeping in" the next day, then accuses him of killing his family in order to take over their "inheritance" which is non existent
He claims he's trying to protect the estate, which would feel more meaningful if Zinas had been doing a good job of that, but he ran the estate into the ground. He had no plan for paying off the debts or what to do if they didn't appoint Erya as lord
