Chapter 678 Victoria’s Plotting

Meanwhile, after Henrietta left the group call with the Transcendent Witches, her shoulders slumped down like a deflating balloon as her energy left her body.

All of her previous majesty and tyranny seemingly disappeared into thin smoke.

’Kukuku...’

Empyrean Scarletsea suddenly chuckled with amusement inside Henrietta’s mind, causing the latter to be curious and confused.

’Why are you laughing, Master?’ Henrietta asked.

’Oh, it’s nothing much. I just find it quite funny that my dear disciple can be bold and tough in front of the Transcendent Witches but doesn’t have the same courage to admit the deed she had done to an old friend’s grandson. Kukuku...’ Empyrean Scarletsea chuckled.

’T-This... and that are two completely different matters, Master!’ Henrietta grimaced helplessly.

’Hahaha...!’ Empyrean Scarletsea continued to laugh as she teased her disciple.

Meanwhile, Victoria was left completely shocked by Henrietta’s discussion with the other Transcendent Witches. She didn’t expect Henrietta to deal with them in such an overbearing and decisive manner.

There was no diplomacy involved, just blatant threats of violence and death.

Henrietta had torn apart every remaining façade of friendship and aggressively demanded the Transcendent Witches’ subordination.

There was no turning back from that.

"This... This..." Victoria felt a little fearful of the future as she glanced at Henrietta with disbelief. "Do you think those five Transcendent Witches will really bow down to you, Sister Henrietta?"This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

"If they don’t, they will become like Queen Sybil – a part of history. It’s as simple as that," Henrietta calmly stated.

"I will be the whip that keeps their leashes in line. If they can behave, then all is well. But if they can’t, then we are better off without them!" Henrietta declared.

Since she had the power to be a dictator, she couldn’t settle for diplomacy.

People only used diplomacy when they were of equal standing. They weren’t. Not anymore.

Victoria had goosebumps as she listened to Henrietta’s declaration. It was only now that she truly saw her changes and resolve.

Henrietta never desired the throne, but now, she was finally assuming responsibilities and acting like a true leader of the witches. As the strongest witch since the dawn of magic, who else but her deserved to rule over all witches?

Just as Victoria had that thought, she recalled that her missing grandson’s influence was even greater than Henrietta’s.

Henrietta was the nominal ruler of the Black Rose Kingdom, but her grandson’s influence eclipsed hers. The contradiction of two leaders in one country would give rise to unease and fear for the future.

’Who should I support?’ Victoria wondered.

One was her family’s benefactor, to whom they were greatly indebted, and the other was her missing grandson, whom she owed twenty years of care and affection and had always felt guilty about.

’No, no, no, I should not think like that! Henrietta will rule over the witches, while my grandson is destined to rule over the whole world! Their positions do not conflict and could even be mutually supporting!’

’All present and future problems would be resolved if I pair the two together!’ Victoria’s eyes brightened at once before pondering, ’Hmm... How should I approach Henrietta regarding this matter?’

’Given our friendship, she might strongly oppose the idea of marrying my grandson... Ah, but my grandson might not necessarily like her and agree either... No, Henrietta is single, and she is also a natural beauty; my grandson will definitely like her...’

Victoria wracked her brain with worry as she tried to figure out how to bring the two together.

Meanwhile, Henrietta noticed Victoria’s constantly changing expressions between frowns and foolish grins. She couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow in surprise and unease.

’She’s plotting something...’ Henrietta thought.
