Though Dr. Ranya hadn't warmed up to Ves at all, he wasn't concerned.
Gloriana was insanely protective of him. Now that she got him back, she turned into a veritable mother hen!
Though Ves was touched by her concern, he knew he needed to stand up for himself! How could he continue to rely on his girlfriend for protection?
The Glory Battalion wasn't under her control. Madame Constance Wodin was the true individual in charge.
Ves felt as if he had inadvertently been caught in the web of this woman's own design. The only problem was that he didn't know what Gloriana's mother thought about him. Was she disdainful towards him like other Hexers? Was she just allowing Gloriana to indulge in her latest fancy in order to mature her personality?
Whatever the case, he doubted that Madame Constance was sympathetic towards him. In the words of the Hexers, he was a mixed breed, a mangy mutt whose filthy paws muddied Gloriana's shoes.
