Needless to say, they were terrified, and the alienation of Su'Ailfi Viola Grandpire became a unanimous decision.
The woman in question herself was offended, of course. She had never thought that once she ascended to the most noble title in the world, rather than currying favour with her, the other Consorts would avoid her instead.
Not only had she failed to elevate her prestige, but she had also brought harm to her son's possibilities of succession. The other Consorts were all mothers. They had princes that were all just like Kaelbi, and some of them were fully of the transcendent blood as well.
She truly was nothing special, and Kaelbi was very replaceable.
So how could she let something happen to ruin her beautiful dreams? How could she stay still and useless, when her success was being threatened so blatantly? Viola Grandpire was not reconciled with this.
