"...You disgust me, Ellias. Leveraging unborn children to get to me? Seriously, again? Don't you ever get tired?" "You're twisting my words, and making me the villain, Milena... As I said, I have been very benevolent, so far. You're the one who chose to act like some recluse." "I chose to protect myself, Ellias! You have the guts to call yourself benevolent? For not letting your allies poison me into miscarriage? How can you even look at yourself in the mirror!" "This is war, Milena," he hissed. "Here, in those walls, those political matters are constantly being hammered over my head, and I have to do what I can." "War?" She scoffed. "Can't you see? You're the one who creates more wars and nurtures them! Why do you think people like the Society of Vampires exist in the first place?"
