"Cordelia is here? You've seen her? When?" so many questions raised through her mind.
Dante realized Margaret had no idea. He could not blame her for it. After all, Cordelia's appearance in his castle in Dracona was not known to many.

Caught completely off-guard, Marius was unable to defend himself. He only had Dante to thank for throwing him under the bus like this. Cordelia's presence amongst them simply made things even more troublesome.
