In the blink of an eye, | saw him reach inside his jacket, grab the woman by the arm, and yank her against his
chest, whispering something venomous.
Her expression changed in an instant.
My supernatural hearing caught a muffled, dull sound, even from a distance.
When the man released her, shoving her away, she looked down at her stomach in disbelief, her trembling hands
pressing against the spreading red stain on her dress.

staring at her terrified face, he watched as she collapsed onto the ground, into the bushes beneath the cypress

the danger, | grabbed the skirt of my satin dress and ran down the corridors, searching for the stairs to reach
that part of the garden.
Icouldnt leave her there, | wouldnt! Images flashed in my mindof that woman, my own ancestor, who had
hanged herself.
Poor common girls who believed the bedroom lies of these nobles for love, for ambition, or whatever reasonthey
always ended up the same.
Completely dead.
Trying to remain unnoticed while everyone was gathered in the hall, | moved across the grounds.

No one was nearby, so | quickly reached the crscene; the pungent, metallic scent assaulted my nostrils as
soon as | stepped into the hedges.
