Henrietta's Scheme

Black Rose Kingdom, Blackthorn City

Inside the palatial magic tower, Henrietta and Victoria silently enjoyed tea as they sat opposite each other. Victoria didn't think much of it as she believed Henrietta was such a quiet person in her spare time.

After all, the life of a ruler was a lonely one.

However, little did she know that Henrietta didn't want to talk because she felt uncomfortable facing Victoria, who was both her friend and her grandmother-in-law.

"Aren't you a little too free, Victoria? You've completely made yourself at home here. There should be other things you need to do, no?" Henrietta gradually broke the silence.

"Hehe, I do, but they are not so important that I can't postpone them to another time," Victoria smiled and said, "More importantly, it's been so long since we last met. We ought to catch up, no?"
