813: House of Lords

House of Lords

"Prince Conan might be a little… playful. But he used to be the second in line for the throne next to my late husband. Don't you think it's better to have him around since there's no guarantee the Queen wouldn't be in danger once she carries the crown?"1

Aries observed the change in their expression, and she couldn't help but smile in satisfaction. These people, particularly the men in this royal court, never failed to give her a headache. If not for the experience Aries had gone through as the empress of Haimirich and following Abel around way before that, these men would overwhelm him. 

Not that they never did. To be frank, they used to intimidate her. Aries was just used to keeping an unfazed countenance before intimidating people. Abel mentored her well. Still, it was different to be waging war by using words against these ministers — who were all noble pureblooded vampires — alone, than now.
