The Winged Serpent (The Order of the Oath)
“So she’d been relegated to the kitchen where she would spend however long he determined, learning how to humble herself.
Aurora had thought for certain such an act of impertinence would have earned her a journey into the fields, she’d actually anticipated such a response, which was why she’d deliberately provoked Claudius. Whether in the fields or the kitchen, Aurora could still obtain what she sought, but she did appreciate the ease of labor to be found within the kitchen—which she had Corneli...a to thank for, though she never would. Cornelia had been true to her word, and in lessening the severity of her punishment, she had unknowingly aided their unified cause of hastening Claudius’ demise.
Between Cyrus and Cornelia, Aurora’s initial plan of gaining Claudius’ favor as his lover had been thwarted almost from the moment of her arrival. For weeks now, she’d spun her wheels devising a strategy that would not end in her certain death.
Claudius was paranoid, more so since he’d almost been poisoned.MoreLess
