Though Ves instructed Gloriana to remain as calm and composed as possible, she couldn't help but smirk when she sensed the ingredient that her husband was processing.
Ves had never hidden the source of this so-called 'design seed'. He thought that she would grow angry and blow up at the suggestion of borrowing the strength of one of her former enemies.
He was wrong. Gloriana did not dislike it. It was the opposite. She loved the entire notion!
She hated Aisling Curver back when the Fridayman mech designer was alive. The woman had the temerity to invade someone else's territory and steal a possession that did not belong to her! It was only right for Master Huron's student to fail and die, especially when she teamed up with Venerable Ghanso Larkinson.
"Aisling never stood a chance against a superior woman." Gloriana grinned. "I've conquered her dreams, her future and her love. Now, I'm about to take her strength for myself!"
