The Princess was far from her mother, she trusted in her own abilities for what she attained. That was why she took the loss so hard, like Sirius could see she felt it was a sign of her own strength. She couldn’t overcome the raid, she wasn’t strong enough to lead the pack. Her mentor tried to convince her that he was not the end all. He was there for her, but Venom wasn’t completely convinced. She wanted to overcome her mentor, to prove that he had taught her all she needed to know.

”It wouldn’t be proving myself if you didn’t give me your all.” Her words were hard but her touch was soft as she relaxed into his shoulder and sighed heavily against him. Knowing she had him on her side, how loyal he was to her mother and the Empire, Venom realized in that moment she was better prepared for leadership than she realized. She let herself give her self doubt too much room to fester inside. ”Do you think I can do it?” She asked, keeping her eyes on his chest instead of looking up into his features. "Lead the Empire."
