Chapter 186 What Do You Want?

• Aunt Gretude walked briskly across the hall with her inquisitor beside her. Her entire face was riddled with anger but she tried to hold it in. She didn't expect Melissa to be that forward with her, the girl has grown wings beyond what she expected.
• She knew she wasn't necessarily interested in the throne and neither did she want to change any rules as it laid. Her own goals were far beyond that, she'd tried to sneak her way into the palace in the past but Greydon caught on to her. Ever since then she'd been too ashamed to show her face in the castle and the latter said he banished her as an act of mercy.
• She hated being at anyone's mercy. She's been known as the palace mother before Greydon happened. She had power then, an entire sect of sisters that only did her bidding. She controlled what happened in the palace and why or when it happened. That was what she wanted back, her lower and prestige. Something that towers beyond the queen herself.
