A.N. Happy Friday! Went outside yesterday for the first time in a while. Hope everyone stays safe!
Cinder and Metis were cuddling together on the same bed sleeping. While Metis was sleeping quietly, Cinder gave out loud but embarrassingly cute snores that drowned out the whispers of the two men.
"So you told Willow Schnee about Salem!"
"Yeah. In exchange for getting rid of Jacques Schnee from power and reinstituting her as head of the SDC, she'll join us as one of Salem's agents."
Yup, having one of the most integral parts of the whole world's economy and lifestyle under the rule of Salem will surely change the world. For the worse? Even Rory didn't know how bad the repercussions would be.
"Cool, so what's your plan?"
Rory liked how Watts didn't seem to care how he was essentially sabotaging the people of Remnant of their best and most valued resource. It made things like morality easier to ignore.
"We can't kill Jacques. That's one of her conditions."
"Okay, so slander the shit out of him. Make him look bad in front of everyone."
"I'm not really that good at politics."
"Neither am I. But do you know what you are good at?"
"What?"
"Getting a good word with the immortal Queen of Grimm who once ruled over Remnant as its Goddess. Who probably has more political savvy in her finger than the whole of Atlas combined."
"...Watts, have I ever told you how much of a genius you were?"
"You could remind me from time to time."
