Although she looked powerful, her power wasn't all that back. Giving birth to the twins drained her a lot. Whilst she could borrow the power of the pets; she didn't want to continue draining them anymore.
It was better for them to be stronger than her, at least they could fend off many enemies than her.
Because of being weak, she could only dare play some tricks, paralyze Orson and his men to get an advantage. Too bad, they wouldn't know.
But now was the question, how was she supposed to forget Orson and get rid of her ever-changing thoughts and feelings about him?
She was truly afraid that if the evil counterpart of her reemerges, one day she might indeed do something that she would regret.
But as they say, knock and the doors shall be opened for you.
