@thegiantpossum I don't think the manor is the only thing she wants, which was already addressed by the FL. She wants Claude, so she's trying to either kill of FL, or have Claude "realize" she's a "witch"

Scared? Yes. Of the consequences of her fit of rage gone wrong.
Guilty? Give me a break. It didn't occur to her to apologize until ML had to spell it out to her face. She was too worried about her status and what the ML could do to her.
She's not sorry for pushing her...
I was worried about reading this because of the utter toxicity the other thread disintegrated into (haah so much about moderation hmm), but I'm pleasantly surprised. People are being decent here. This is like. This we need more of.
