Meanwhile, outside New Eden, an entire night had gone by, and Alex and Kary had been busy. But after a few hours of rest, they had gotten to work on figuring out how to convince Katherine about Violette's power.
If they failed to do so, they would lose a crucial ally in some of their moments of need, and this was subpar, at best.
"I was thinking maybe a fight with someone Katherine considers a good match, but I'm afraid she'll ask her to fight me. And then, either I lose on purpose, and she knows, or I hurt Violette, and she says no…" Alex sighed.
"Yeah, a fight wouldn't be the best way in any situation. Her mother is too protective," Kary said, shaking her head.
"I was thinking of a show of force—something that doesn't require fighting but is convincing enough that she can't say Violette is defenceless. But I haven't quite figured out what yet."
