Fool! I shall not be caged, for not matter what barriers may imprison me, my evil spilleth over to corrupt all in my presence!”[/color] Her follow-up cackle was somewhat muffled as she popped a donut ball in her mouth and happily chewed on it. [color=9e0b0f]”Your reward, my loyal minion.”[/color] She handed one to Asher as well. They really were delicious, the sweet sugar coating mixing perfectly with the rich chocolate contained within. [color=9e0b0f][i]Just like how my beautiful body conceals the blackest of hearts.[/i][/color] When she was Dark Empress of Fiore, she would have an entire factory built specifically for the mass-production of these pastries. Or perhaps just a robot army with the same capabilities as the ANP here. She hummed, considering whether the delightful evil of forcing citizens to labor away making sweets outweighed how fun it would be to own a legion of such adorable machines. While she was chewing, Kaden and the ANP were going back and forth over the specifics of the job. Lavinia didn’t pay them much mind at first, but when the tickets came up she found herself butting in. [color=9e0b0f]”Unlike you pitiful peasants, I have money to spare! In fact, rather than just my own, I think I’ll buy [i]all[/i] of our tickets myself.”[/color] She looked smugly at Kaden as she said that. She knew he wanted to get rid of her, yet by putting her own money on the line she had solidified herself as an essential part of this mission, leaving him with no choice but to let her tag along. [color=9e0b0f]”Fufufu, I bet you weren’t expecting that! Have a cookie to assuage your despair!”[/color] She offered him a donut ball, a vile act of malice that would probably shock anyone watching to their core.
