Funny how they were both similar in their reactions for violence. Because it what was drove Elizabeth as soon as she heard those words.

"And you, you ridiculous woman, I know you. I know exactly what you think you're doing, and I'll tell you now, it won't work."

But whatever cool contempt she had was gone the minute those words came out of her mouth. Her mind screamed and she shoved her chair back to stand up. Walked around the table to stare down at Mayuzumi where she sat. In this, she was her father's child, blistering with rage and she acted before she thought, and she couldn't even say she regretted it when she slapped the other woman across the face, so hard she felt her hand sting. "Regardless if you're lying or not. My fate, how I live and die for my country, is between my people, my God and myself, and if it is my duty to die, you never have a place to speak of it." Her rage ran over her, she needed to get out, away from this vile woman.

She stepped back before the urge to hit her again over came her, but not before taking a bottle of champagne from the table, then made to leave.
