“It’s more modernized, you could say. Traditional, but modernized. There was a lot of upkeep that needed to be done, especially after World War II. My people will be better prepared should another arise. I was left with no choice. Never again will I have a man try to take my throne.” Henri glanced around her castle.
“I hear the Mikaelsons are building an empire, so to speak. They are definitely a problem I’ll have to eliminate eventually. As their name grows larger, the Vale name gets smaller.

“One question. Why do you want rid of them? I can’t risk being double crossed. So if I’m going to accept your help, I’d like to know.”
“And how has that worked. Surely this hatred isn’t a new thing. From the looks of it, you could use a boost. Regardless, it cuts out the middle man. You want the Mikaelsons dead, I want them dead, or at least out of the picture.It’s perfect.’
“I don’t accept help from strangers. I can break that family apart by myself.”
