Confrontation

"So...what is it, mother?" Lara said as she looked at her mother, who was currently sitting across her.

There was a table between the two of them, and they were sitting on each respective opposing side.

Lara came here, to the throne room, after Denise called her personally.

Lara just snuck out of the room as Falkor and Isobel were already sleeping, and Lara was about to sleep, too, but a knock prevented her from falling to sleep, which then resulted in this current situation.

Lara also thought that it was strange that her mother was not sitting on the throne, but instead, had a table and two seats prepared and sat on one of those two seats.

It was really weird since Lara has always met her mother sitting on the throne if they meet in the throne room.

Even in different houses, whenever they meet in the throne room, Loraine has always sat on the throne.
