"Speak up if you have something to say!"
The old crone yelled at Li Pan with fury, like a grouchy elder who'd been rudely awoken from a nap.
Li Pan frowned, "Your Grace is..."
"Didn't you want to see me? I am the council, and the council is me!"
The old woman placed the maggot she held into an ecological chamber filled with sawdust, stepped out of the organic field, her pupils shimmering with a golden light as she glared at Li Pan,
"Speak! What exactly do you want, bringing a Chao Qi to 0791?"
Li Pan was momentarily taken aback, "You're the Grand Duchess? But on television..."
The old crone snorted,
"Are you stupid? That's all CG effects! I'm supposed to be hibernating, I have to use energy-saving form, you know!
What, you think I'm old, you think I'm ugly? Just now I arranged for someone young and beautiful to talk to you, but you didn't want that!
I'm halfway into the grave and I'm seeing you personally, so what exactly do you want? Name it!"
