The two ate their food in silence, none wanting to speak up after the story that Edward had just given Emily. Emily's appetite had disappeared and she just picked at her food. There still was much to eat even after some of the food had been passed around to the servants for them to join in on the feast like Edward had said.Emily turned and caught sight of Victoria sitting at a corner and downing the plate in her hands. She couldn't blame her. The young girl had worked her bottoms off in preparation of the feast so she of course had to enjoy the fruits of her labor. That and the food was more than good.Turning to her husband, Emily asked, "could you please pass me the wine bottle?" Edward looked up from his food at her and nodded before grabbing the bottle by his side and sliding it towards her.Emily grasped it before the bottle could fall off the table and nodded in appreciation as she uncorked it. She then placed it on the lid of her wine glass and poured herself another drink. In

It had been four days and three nights since Emily had the discussion with Edward and she had not seen him again since then. When she asked Brown why, he explained that His Grace was now attending a meeting with the town's council to plan ahead the preparation of the celebration that was approaching. She believed him.Edward would always go out early, right before she would wake and come back after she would sleep. She did hear from Victoria though that he would always come to her room to check up on her anytime he comes back from the meeting. The light perfume smell that he always had on was there anytime she woke so she believed Victoria.It lightened the burden in her heart a little and it proved that Edward could be a caring husband but Emily still had her doubts. She was yet to see His Grace without his previous mask on or his hat. So two nights into her birth month, she decided to find that out herself.She had planned exactly how she would go about the whole thing. Since His G

"Have you solved the matter concerning the dead bodies?" James asked as he dropped his glass cup on the crate that he had been sitting on and walked over to his servant who held the reins of two horses, each in one hand. "I and Brown have finally made a decision to approach the council about it," Edward replied as he too dropped his drink and stood up from his crate chair. "The whole thing has just proven to get worse as time flies by if we try to solve everything by ourselves." "That is the right decision," James said with a small nod as he collected one of the horses from his servants hand, holding it by its rein. "We made a mistake by not going to them from the on-start." "And now that mistake has seemed to catch up with us, eating us to our bones," Edward said with a sigh. He rubbed his empty eye socket and slowly walked towards the servant. "All of our actions has proven to put us deeper into the sinking sand and I don't think calling for help this time will do us any good."

Edward nodded as he listened to all the that Town's Head, Jonathan Hemsworth, said. If he said that his attention was in the meeting though, then he would be a liar.Most of the things that Jonathan said to Edward were issues that he had already discussed with his butler, Mr Brown. He knew what Brown had already addressed the towns Head and the rest of the council about it but they just chose to bring them all back up again. An act that Edward despised."... and we think that the repairing of the bridge that connects the borders of this town with that if our neighboring will really bring a lot of revenue back to the town," Jonathan said. "It might cost us a lot of money now but the money brought back into the town would be much more than that used to repair the bridge.""And what about the builders?" Edward asked. "How many of them do you have ready for the service if we are to start with immediate effect.""If we should start the building with immediate effect, Your Grace, the builde

Arthur walked towards the door with a frown on his face but the moment his feet stepped outside the door, his frown vanished and what replaced it was a devious smile.He was a little bit sad by his father's reaction to all that he had accused Edward of but the pay that he knew he was going to receive would compensate for it.The young man walked down the streets of the market, his eyes on the look out for an unfamiliar face. The wah Arthur stared around should have called for suspicion from the people there but they didn't seem to care or be bothered by Arthur's acts and just went about with their businesses. "Where are you?" Arthur muttered as he stopped. He looked around the market for his payer but didn't find the strange man anywhere. He decided to look at the letter that was sent to him again.Arthur shoved his hands into his pocket and brought a small rumpled piece of paper. He read the wordings that had been out there, nodding as his eyes completed the sentences there."The ol

"When will the meeting with the council be happening?" James asked. He put his feet on a footstool and looked at Edward who replied his question with a small shrug. "The exact day hasn't been fixed yet," Edward answered. "But from the look of things, I don't think it will be happening any time soon. Well, at least in a week or so." "That means you have just enough time, Edward," James said and his friend looked up at him. Shaking his head slowly, he said, "you really are saying that I should kill this young man just because he has knowledge of what I did." "I'm saying that you should get rid of him before his so called knowledge will cause you to be gotten rid of," James said as he leaned closer to his friend. He relaxed back on his chair and pulled out a cigar from his coat pocket. "I am only giving you this advice as a friend. What you do with it is on you." Edward looked at his friend before putting his head back down and sighing loudly. He thought of different ways the scenar

No eyes and no nose. The mouth seemed to have replaced his eyes and one of his ears was missing. Emily knew this could not be His Grace.Or was he?Emily, filled with fright and confusion, slowly backed away from the gaunt man standing in front of her. The mouth of the man's face twitched until it stopped in an O shape, one that Emily assumed meant that he was smiling."You look scared, my love," Edward said with a chuckle as he slowly approached retreating Emily. "Why do you fear so? Is it my face?" The man suddenly stopped and the mouth twitched. "Do I scare you?"Emily, still in the state of shock, mumbled a few words but all that came out of her mouth were incoherent. Even her couldn't understand what she had said. "You really... you really can't be scared of me, Emily," Edward said with a cough as he began his slow approach to Emily. "You really can't be scared of me and you really shouldn't."Emily kept on walking backwards until she backed the window in her room. Cold air from

Emily could hear her heart beat loudly and she placed her hands on her chest in a bid to calm herself down. It did nothing of that sort. She heard the deep bass voice come again and out of curiosity, she slipped down from her bed.With quiet and very careful steps, she slowly marched towards the still open door and stopped in front of it. She was about placing her head out of the door when a voice quickly sent her back in. She closed her eyes and sighed after realizing who the owner of the voice was."And do make sure that His Grace finds something to eat when he gets back home, please," Mr Brown said as he slowly climbed up the stairs. He stopped short after he and Emily's eyes met. He bent his head slightly and asked, "you are awake, Your Grace?" He stopped after reaching the top. "And are you looking for someone?""Huh?" Emily mumbled after hearing Edwards question. She looked down and saw that she was on her knees and that was when she realized what the butler was referring to. "O
