Chapter 370. Odd Plan
"There is every need for that. If we don’t show some resilience they will ride all over us."
As much as she agreed with him she doubted this was the way to show it. Vampires weren’t the kind they wanted to piss off. They have a lot to show that vampires weren’t the kind to be messed with.
What was she saying? There was nothing to piss off. Jael wouldn’t care if she didn’t return and if he didn’t care she was as good as dead to the rest of the vampires. None of them ever really cared about her, except Mill of course. It was nice to think that at least one vampire cared.
"I understand what you’re trying to say Father but I do not think right now is the time to take such risks. The vampires are dangerous and we do not want to get on their bad side. I don’t think we have the resources to deal with them."
She needed to plead her case, it wouldn’t make any sense if she easily agreed to what he just said. He would suspect that something was up and that was very far from what she wanted right now.
To think that her father would accept her into his castle with open arms. At least something was going somewhat right for once. She was under no obligation to correct his misunderstanding of the situation.
"Let me worry about that, Mauve. As your father, let that be my concern. I have made you carry too much of the burden, let me bear some."
"As you wish, father. Thank you."
Mauve cringed at her response, the perfect daughter. One who did exactly as she was told to do, didn’t put up any opposition, and did what she was told without complaints.
