"Great-grandmother."
The Snow Empress smiled softly, realizing her great-granddaughter had recognized and acknowledged her. "How did you recognize me so quickly? I'm sure Caelis hasn't had a chance to tell you about me, and your parents were gone before you were old enough to remember them."
"Thanks to my contract with Mari, I can learn many things, including the truth about you, Great-grandmother. You're the one who forced Grandmother to occupy the Snow Queen's throne until her death."
The Snow Empress frowned, and her gentle smile vanished instantly. "Are you going to oppose me, too?"
"I don't need to fight you because you won't be able to turn me into a complete spirit."
