Well. Ya. But once Emma is gone. She has noone to back her up. The Duchess can use her connections but that's just as far as their connection goes. Mielle is still a child. So if the Duchess tells her to do something, Emma is no longer there to tell her if it's too risky. She's incapable, since Emma did everything FOR her.
Mielle is no longer a problem. She's just a pawn with no knights, a baby with no mother, a master with no servant, a body with no brain, a cookie with no sugar.
