Emily woke up to the sound of a bell ringing. She grabbed her pillows and covered her head with it but it did nothing to block out the noise. Her head began to bang from the loud sound, forcing her to open her eyes."Where is that stupid sound coming from?" Emily mumbled as she sat up on her bed. Her hair was all over the place and drool made a trail on her face. She wasn't one who liked early mornings.Emily had slept late at night due to her constant crying. His Grace had tried speaking to her but she didn't pay any attention to him. She was too hurt to answer him."Good morning, Your Grace," Emily heard someone say and she turned to the door, her eyes still drowsily half opened. "How is your morning?""Fine?" Emily answered as she stared at the young girl standing at the entrance. "Who are you again?" She knew the girl worked in the manor. She just could not remember seeing where."I am one of the chefs," the girl answered with a small smile. Emily nodded as she yawned loudly. The

Emily got into the carriage, His Grace holding her hand. She still felt heavy from the food that she had just finished eating and her bladder seemed to want to burst from the juice.His Grace let go of her hand and turned to the other side to enter while she adjusted herself. She pulled the tail of her very long gown into the carriage and closed the door gently as she sucked in air through her teeth.Emily still felt uncomfortable going to church with the man she called her husband, wearing a mask that would scare little kids. She didn't want to but she had no other choice. She had at first not wanted to go but then after hearing that her father was going to be at the gathering, she quickly changed her mind. At first she didn't believe His Grace when he said it but after he showed her the letter, she believed."My father would be there?" Emily scoffed after His Grace had told her that the Baron Dewhurst would be at the church for the gathering. "You think I am stupid? If my father wa

Edward stood still, his hands behind his back and Emily, his wife, standing next behind him. His eyes were on his father-in-law, the Baron Dewhurst, who had walked into the church and sat down on the pew. His heart had stopped pounding and he felt at peace.There wasn't going to be any fighting... for now."I'm sorry I thought that you were lying," Her Grace said in a small whisper as she leaned close to Edward. "I'm sorry for not believing what you said.""It's alright," Edward whispered back. "I am actually a little bit surprised myself that he showed up."Emily frowned as she heard Edward's words but then she quickly wiped it off and replaced it with a smile as she noticed that her father was watching the both of them.She leaned closer to him, a fake smile on her face as she asked, "why? Why are you surprised? I thought he informed you of his coming. Why then are you surprised if he did?" Edward paused and began thinking of what to tell her. He had not expected this kind of quest

Edward walked towards the manor and suddenly noticed that his stable was filled with different horses, many he knew was not his. The sound of laughter and music also seemed to increase by the minute and this made Edward very uncomfortable.He turned to the trail of river that ran down the trees as he thought of the body and head that he had dumped in. He saw someone walk towards that direction and he cussed inwardly.Edward heard someone whistle behind him and he turned. Coming towards he and his father-in-law was a man and a woman, dressed in fancy clothes, the man a cane in his hands and the woman a hat on her head, walking towards the manor with their nose in the air. From the stitches that were on their clothes, Edward knew that the duo were not from the nobles at all."Oh, Duke Edward," the lady said as she suddenly saw Edward, Baron Dewhurst standing beside him. "It is an honor to have met you, Your Grace.""Uhun," Edward mumbled as he nodded slightly. The man walked over to E

Edward was staring down at the hallway where the feast was going on and sighted Williams and his wife speaking together. The two seemed to be engrossed in their conversation and that annoyed him much.Emily seemed to be suddenly agitated after William left, signalling the end of their discussion. She looked up and her and her husband's eyes met.Edwards anger seemed to increase as their eyes met and he quickly left to prevent himself from doing anything that would hurt the both of them later on.He walked towards his room, mumbling chases and words as he passed the other rooms. He stopped by one whose door was open and peeped into it. That room was one that he had used for storing some of the old weapons that he and his father had used. It was the same that he has found Emily unconscious in.The whole place was scattered and the items and tools that he had stored in there seemed to have been moved around. Things looked to be really out of place. Someone had been in there."Who's here
