Chapter 89 I Hate You

• Cercei's POV
• I am utterly fed up, completely and utterly done. Everyone around me has fallen into an eerie silence or become awkwardly distant. They are obviously trying their best to hold their tongues, but their behavior is a dead giveaway that something is amiss. Even Maria, who is usually so composed, is acting strangely.
• This wasn’t the purpose that I came here, nor does it align with my mission. When I called Vincent for updates on my mother, he had nothing to share. Moreover, the elders are starting to grow suspicious of my whereabouts since they didn’t witness my departure, and Aunt Melanie is still in the pack.
