Cecilia left the palace and returned to her bedroom. She called Dora, "Dora, have you thought it over? Are we going to act?"
Dora frowned, "Cecilia, this is my most powerful piece on the board. If it gets exposed prematurely, you know what the consequences are. I must plan this carefully and not act impulsively."
"But William can't wait any longer," Cecilia said urgently. "You should know your sister has a master by her side. It's very difficult to lure her away and even harder to drug her, and it could very well backfire on me. Besides that method, we have no other choice."
"Cecilia, calm down!"
"How can I calm down? Now Wei Anning and Catherine have joined forces. If I lose the support of Country S, then I am bound to lose in this power struggle. By then, everything I promised to help you seize will vanish into thin air. Are you just going to watch us end up with nothing?" Cecilia asked her, her beautiful face full of panic.
