Old Patriarch de Cene frowned.
"Please forgive me for doubting you. I just don't understand. If we want to capture Matthew… why are we torturing the Priestess? She— I mean, the Priestess had been serving the King for generations. I just thought— "
"Are you doubting me, old man?"
"No." Patriarch de Cene shook his head. "No. On the contrary, I am curious. May I know what your plan really is? Both of us wanted Matthew… I think it is only fair that you tell me some of the things that you wanted to do."
The Previous Queen narrowed at him.
"You are lucky I am no longer the Queen. Or I would have instructed my people to cut your throat just for disrespecting my decision."
"My Queen…"
"I will tell you." The Queen said. "Ulva was nothing but a pawn. Without her the King is helpless and he immediately called the next powerful Witch that could help him. Ava. Obviously, Ava took Babaylan with her. Oh… that prideful Babaylan. She doesn't have any idea that she just walked into a trap."
