I looked away from the screen, expression flattening.
"Terrifying creature, isn't she?" Alice huffed, clearly impressed, though I knew her own battle prowess was far superior to anything my sister had shown. "Anyway, back on topic. As I was saying, she already has a number of noble cliques following her. And since I'm to become the Crown Princess of both Central and West, my influence also dwarfs anything that even the most prominent of noble houses could scrape together."
Was she here just to brag? "Okay. Again, good for you. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a Shadow at home I need to get even with."
Alice rolled her eyes, throwing a cushion at me before I could get up to leave. "For someone so smart, you are so dumb."
I was offended.
