It wasn't favoritism, Dante told herself, surveying the ruin of her drawing room. It was familiarity, convenience.
Tantrums and screaming and china ground into the carpet.
Behavior she wouldn't tolerate from the others. But, they brought their own problems.
False promises and fake smiles and need, need, need.
Whereas his goals complimented her own so conveniently. No lies necessary. (At least, not many.) She needed despair, and he delighted in providing it.
So, it simply wasn’t time to get rid of her oldest pawn.
The fact that he sometimes wore her only son’s face had nothing to do with it.
