an ironic question? you understand the whole ''coven wives' thing, right.
you really need an answer or are you just being ironic? I'm guessing you are asking an ironic question and the answer is 'look to the wives' because the real connections, in the secret aristocracy exist there as it seems to be (if it is real, and it does seem to be real as well) the secret aristocracy of abominable cabal cousins (in-bred to the core) is a woman run matriarchy. That's why, if the cabal is real.
