"You know... Your Majesty, I do not regret what I did. Even now. This is what I wanted, complete superiority. " she sighs gratefully. "Hm? Do you want to know where it began? Sure I'll tell you"
I lived in the old Mansion of the Count Mearls. We were three, Count Vincent, Countess Beatrice, and their young girl, Lady Astrid Mearls. I. We were the perfect County of the Monarchy, the perfect family of the region. I am a legitimate lady, from a good family, of course.
I never talked to you about my family but...Beatrice was an arrogant and mean woman to me, unfortunately, she was responsible of my education, my manner, and for preparing me for the Society. Maybe I learned well from her, look at me now, Dearest. I grew up in a weird atmosphere, like cold. Count Vincent did not do better either, he was hiding behind his duties and work and ran away from the family's problems, he ignored them even if he loved his daughter more than everything. He was sacred of Beatrice. What a waste, a coward.
I have never been a sweet and kind daughter too, I hate all those sweet things, sweet people, it is just an excuse. They are weak. And I can not be weak. Emotions are a waste of time, they make people hesitate. I can not hesitate, my heart has no reason to interrupt my mind. It has never happened. I am nothing but a nest of hate and cruelty. I was born like this.
How could I have forgotten that, there was that time when we had a kind-tempered maid, more boring than anything else. I remember that dog in the middle of the night, he was making noises, a lot of noises, I think he was crying but whatever, the noise was annoying, I couldn't sleep at all. I had to take necessary measures against this animal. I went out of my dorm and went downstairs, I met that maid in the corridor, she was wearing her nightdress, her hair was blond, and her gaze was soft, I always thought those kinds of gaze were disgusting, we can only see pity in it. She asked me with a worried voice where was I going so I answered: "To the garden make that noise stop forever"...
I don't remember what happened next,..ah yes, I remember the smell of blood, I remember a woman's body, and a hurting dog. I remember that the noise stopped in a clear cut and that I felt relaxed.
I never saw that maid again,
and her dog either
''
She had blood on her hand, and she knew it.
