This frightened Dolores. Her support wasn’t as strong as they led people to believe. Far from it. The only reason she managed to stay in power for so long despite her reputation and the anger of the larger population was because of bribes. Many Wizengamots members hated her and would love to see her get fired. But, they loved gold a whole lot more, which they used to their advantage. But, without gold to give them? It wouldn’t take long before her support dissipated, leaving someone else free to take over her well-earned position!
