"If only I were able to control my powers sooner, it wouldn't have taken me thirteen years to return and seek revenge."
Mildred carried a smile on her face, but her eyes were somber and ireful.
"You know what, King Alec, it was never my plan to make you my enemy. I have returned to ruin the royal family and make Martin pay for all those years of suffering I went through because of him."
"But because you are the king and you are hindering me from reconciling with my daughter, I don't think an agreement is possible with us. You must be thinking the same, don't you?"
"If you really think of Lauren as your daughter, then why did you never reach out to her in the past years? You cannot trick me with your words. I know you only want to use her to have the monarch's power."
Mildred shook her head. "You don't understand, King Alec. Lauren is the only family left to me. I am her mother. I know what is best for her."
"No, you don't."
