Veronica was still in shock!
The cyborg cat incarnation couldn't believe that her mother actually encouraged him to leverage the power of the crown!
That was the opposite of what Veronica wanted!
She came here in order to neutralize the threat posed by the crown. She was even willing to throw the crown in the direction of the nearest star if that was what it took to get rid of its nefarious influence!
Veronica's priority lay in protecting herself as much as possible. She was not particularly greedy for power because she had a poor understanding of the power that could be derived from the crown.
Even though she thought that her mother was right that he could potentially derive a lot of benefits from the crown, doing so was playing with fire! The risks were way too high for her to gamble that she could keep its influence under control!
