Sometimes it's better to not say anything and other time, it's best to speak up.
Cat couldn't figure out what kind of moment this one was. She sat there, twiddling her thumbs and immersed in her thoughts.
"Nevertheless it's of the most importance that we choose our battle plans quickly, there is no time to lose," the voice of an angry man startled her back to focus.
Cat had been stuck in an council meeting with Alexei for hours. They sat around an ornate round table, making her feel like she was King Arthur with his knights.
Just like in the story, there was no head giving everyone equal status - well as much as they could be given, considering Alexei was king.
The war had been going on for months now, Cat was isolated from the rest of the world and much of her freedom had been taken away.
Despite the reassurance, from Alexei and multiple councilmen, that it was till the war was over, she knew that once she was crowned Queen officially, she wouldn't be granted that same freedom anymore.
She missed the days of New York, she missed Paris with Alexei and she missed the careless and free life she had lived.
"Mr. Vatya, I have no idea what you think this is, but I'd like to remind you that this is war, it's not a careless matter. Battle plans and war caution plans had been established and built a long time ago. Some are in place as we speak. You would know if you had come to any last meetings," Cat chastised, her eyes narrowing in anger.
She knew she had to do something once she felt Alexei tremble in anger towards Mr. Vatya's indirect accusations of Alexei's lack of organization and weak leadership.
The rest of the councilmen stared at Cat in shock, Mr. Vatya's face burnt red in embarrassment.
She could feel Alexei's amusement at her response but Cat was glad that he was calm and would be able to wrap up this god forsaken meeting.
Unfortunately the meeting continued for another hour, consisting of dozens of angry wolves fighting, Alexei or Cat scolding them as they were mere children and then finally deciding on some things.
