"Why not just find an opportunity to strike, rush into Reggie's residence, and end him?" Madam Glenda thought, her mind whirring with possibilities. 'Kill Alfie too, and with Reggie gone, it would be over. Baron Ethan would have no choice but to accept Harry as the heir. After all, who else would claim the title?'
But, no. Harry hadn't acted like that. He hadn't taken the opportunity to eliminate Alfie, even when he had the chance. Instead, he let him go. The hesitation, the mercy; it all pointed to a flaw in his character.
A flaw that Madam Glenda could exploit.
'It's not too late. I just need to wait for the right moment.'
Her sharp mind quickly turned to strategy. The power dynamics had shifted drastically with Reggie's death, and now Harry stood poised to take over. But if she could take advantage of his weakness, his 'mercy' there might still be a chance to regain control.
