Athanasia finds herself blanking out in the middle of a long meeting, a minister looking at her sympathetically. Most likely, those who are gathered in front of her have heard of the recent "visitor" that had moved into the Ruby Palace.
The ease of settling into routine was much easier to comprehend rather than spending time- more like wasting time, thinking about ways to bring about Jennette's downfall, faster, much faster.
She didn't have much time to begin with, but with things changing like this, it was best to always stay prepared in case something went according to Jennette's blackened will.
God above forbid that something actually good for Jennette happened even with all the precautions she had spent carefully catering to over the long years she had begun steadfastly solidifying her grip on the throne.
In more ways than one, she had placed herself in the best strategic position to win, and Jennette was none the wiser- at least for now, which was one good thing for their side. Not that Jennette had a side- eventually, she would have one though.
Even if they are stragglers that want to fit in with their precious, lovely princess, Athanasia would wipe them all off the board.
She had to.
In a world like this, or any world with such conflict, she had to be ready for anything. Including death. Whether that meant Jennette's followers dying by her hand, or by the others involved, it was no matter.
Simply put, Athanasia would do everything she could to make Jennette suffer during her stay in her world.
If she had to smack some sense into the girl at last, after two decades of her having everything go her way, Jennette would finally be able to learn her place, her real place, and Athanasia was decidedly happy about the royally screwed up outcome Jennette was rushing towards.
Headfirst, no doubt.
She shuffles the papers in her hand, finding the correct one of which they were currently discussing, and quickly skimming it to find a solution to the question at hand.
"These days, rain has not been as usual, correct?" the minister, noticing she had come back into the game, nodded enthusiastically, and replied.

"Yes, your highness, I had found that in the territory over the past ten years it had rain for a week out of the 49 days in a month... as of recently, it had only rained for 1 day, an unforeseen drought has occurred.."
Athanasia's hand tapped the table before picking up her pen and drawing out a diagram.
She explains as she does so, "I propose using a water system that will let your people use water to water their crops even when there is no rainfall."
