Even before it became less and less acceptable and accepted to just go and bite people and civilized vampires took the oath and displaced their addictions, Lady Margolotta took politics as a hobby; now it’s a passion. It satisfies a different kind of thirst and lust, to read the collective hearts and minds, to feel the rising discontent in the populace then curb and redirect it. How ironic that she does her best to prevent blood being spilled now!
So it’s not about the blood itself anymore, but it’s still about life... and it’s always been about power. It’ll always be.
