[Kyrie, done putting back her usual kinda stone-faced expression, starts]
Rudolf is my husband. I met him long ago, when I left my family to be his business partner. He's always been like that, someone who'd try to pull the wool over your eyes. We got along, we grew closer the more we worked together, but he's a womanizer, women kept throwing themselves at him, until Asumu came by.
[Her face sours when she mentions Asumu. Take anything she says about Asumu with a grain of salt, here's a scorned woman talking!]
That bitch...she kept doing her little defenseless sensible woman act until she got Rudolf wrapped around her little finger, and he let her get away with it. I was his second pick. We both got pregnant at the same time, and she used that to force him to marry her. [She repeats for emphasis:] Asumu used Battler to get him to marry her.
[Kyrie doesn't mention how she'd have done the same]
Battler is...Battler is a nice kid. He listens and tries to be logical. Even if I hated him, I taught him everything he knows about logic. It was partly as a little revenge against Asumu, and Battler lets himself be led away by emotions, but at least he tries.
When Asumu died from sickness six years ago, Rudolf wasted no time in marrying me. That made Battler so upset he left the house and separated himself from the Ushiromiya family. I was...I actually was happy about that. It meant I wouldn't have to see him at all times. He never blamed me, he always thought it was Rudolf's fault. He kept coming after Rudolf and I had our daughter. This year he forgave Rudolf enough to return to the family, so...we'll now all be a family, I guess...
[That all pretty much covers the basics of Kyrie's family, yep]
