"I prefer evil queen," Katherine returned, eyes twinkling at the thought. Killer fashion sense and a ruthless desire to be the best? Yes, that was her to a T. "I'm sure we would have, though." Of course Kai wouldn't have gotten along with Elena of all people.
"I'm glad someone finally sees things from my side." Katherine understood nothing about the power Elena held over the Salvatores. But she did pause at Kai's words.
"That is heartless. Not that it can compare, but Giuseppe wasn't exactly father of the year either. He's the reason Damon is so riddled with self-doubt. And he had his own ruthless side. Welcomed me into his home, was all smiles and southern hospitality right up until the moment he poisoned me. He gave Stefan something with vervain. I drank from him, and then he and the Founder's Council rounded up all of the vampires." She was still bitter over being bested by Giuseppe Salvatore of all people. She was usually so good at reading men.
