"Actually Peony...she was telling me about a rumor she had heard..." Anne speaks up.

"What rumor?"

"It was about Lord Arron..."

"What!? Yeah, and what was it??"

"That- well before she could complete, The Lord appeared before us"

On hearing those words, I bite my lips drawing blood off them.

That motherfucker...

How dare he!?

Just how low will you stoop down to Arron??

"Understood." That is all I say.

"Duchess...What are you going to do??" She asks.

"Whatever I need to do to make him confess" I reply.

"Don't tell me you think that..."

"Yes, I do think that he's the one who killed Peony" I reply in a cold voice.

Anne falls silent.

The Lord of this manor...

The one she followed...

Did he murder her dearest friend?

She was unable to find words to speak.

But more than ever she felt regret.

Regret of ever following him.

Instead of the Duchess...

Tears drop down from Anne's eyes.

"I'm sorry" she cries.

"For?"

"I shouldn't have tried to poison you with the others...I shouldn't have followed their orders" she cries.

"Yes, you should be," I say.

And then walk away.

It's great that she realized her fault.

That's all I need.

I don't need to say anything more or anything less.

Now all that is left is...

I strut across the hallway that leads to Arron's room.

Then slam the door open...

Sitting on the bed, Arron looks behind to see who it is.

His usual nonchalant eyes meet mine.

Then as if expecting me, his lips curl up into a smirk.

"Ah well, hello there." He says.

I enter his room and sit on the armchair opposite of him.

"Did you kill Peony?" I ask directly.

"What if I did?"

So he's not even denying it.

"And why exactly did you do that? What will you get from killing a mere maid?"

"You know that very well Duchess, you know that I don't like it when they chat about me"

"What?"

"You know I did it for your sake too. It was for the both of us"

"What are you even talking about???"

"Rosetta..." He calls out my name with the same nonchalant eyes.
