Quick, small cute child! Release all the birds before that mean lady comes!
(Also "You've become distacted" or "You've become distracted" in the last panel?)
What in the actual hell, lady? "You've become distracted..." - what, with the birds you gave him? Are you jealous of the goddamned birds? Because I know how you're justifying killing his pets to yourself - that because of his status he needs to be focused on other things like his studies and his duties - but that's just your excuse. You're upset because he's not as devoted to you as you want him to be, so you're trying to hurt him for it - for daring to have a connection to other living beings. You want to be the only important thing in his life and will go at terrible lengths to make that happen. You are so sick, woman - so very, very sick.
I think you got it wrong.
He Needs to be the best in anything so he will become a great leader that she can rule from the shadows. Everything she allows him to have, she will take away anytime. Thats part of it. Very perfidious Long time scheming with the own son.
