His father's generals.

"It's so good that you came, little one."
Your grandfather is sitting on a throne; for some reason, he seems a little weaker in recent years after the death of your parents. You sit nearby and wait to hear what else your grandfather will say.
"So, little one, you are finally ready to take on your parents' legacy."
He rises from the throne which has a golden dragon adorning the headboard.
"You need to take responsibility for the clan."
He pauses.
"But for that you'll have to win the approval of the four generals. I've kept them satisfied, but I'm really too old to keep them below me."
