Monty's Accomplice - Gentleman's Guide

A/N - This story will include death. Just a heads up if you're sensitive to anything like that. I've skipped anything that isn't a death, but started after the Reverend is killed.

"(Y/N)! Where are you?" you hear your older brother Monty shout from the next room.
"I'm in the parlour," you shout back. He walks in with a small vial.
"Well, are you ready? They'll be leaving any minute now," Monty says. You grab your bag and follow Monty out of the room. You leave in the carriage and in a few hours, you reach the winter resort. It looks like Asquith D'Ysquith Jr. has already arrived with Miss Evangeline Barley. You went there are servants but you and Monty had other plans. He had brought poison for a reason, but hadn't had a chance to poison anything yet.

"Why did we bring poison?" Monty moans.
"We thought we'd get a chance to poison them but we didn't, so now we have poison but no one to drink it," you say.
"And now we have one eye on the target and one eye on the clock. We need them gone before they leave," Monty says, "if we'd brought knives we could have grabbed them and discreetly knocked them on the head then stabbed them."
"Not to mention what you could have done if you'd had a gun, but we're stuck here with poison," you moan. Then, Monty realises something.
"Of course. What if they fell through the ice (Y/N)?" Monty exclaimed.
"What do you mean?" you ask.
"Sibella teased me until I learned to skate! If I can find the thinnest part of the ice, I can create a hole and they'll fall through it. It'll look like an accident," Monty explains.
"I like that plan. Go, before it's too late," you say. Monty leaves and soon you see him out on the ice.

You were happy to go along with Monty's plan, but you didn't actually want to kill anyone. Or see anyone die. You watched Monty skate on the ice. He returns after a while and you watch as Asquith D'Ysquith Jr. and Evangeline Barley fall through the ice. You watch on as they both struggle for breath, occasionally surfacing to gasp for air. You can't look away as they both finally fall under the water, dead.

"Come on (Y/N), we should return home," you leave with Monty, but not without one last look at the hole in the ice.

Your next target is Henry D'Ysquith. After having drink with him, Monty learns that Henry is an avid beekeeper, and that people can be killed by bee stings. Monty steals a bottle of lavender perfume, since bees are attracted to its scent. You visited the D'Ysquith estate in Salisbury to kill Henry.

You arrived there and almost seconds after you arrived, Monty covered Henry's beekeeping clothes with the lavender perfume. Henry comes only moments later greets you with a woman.
"Hello Monty. Hello (Y/N). This is my sister, Phoebe," Henry says.
"Hello, Miss D'Ysquith," Monty kisses her hand.
"Pleasure to meet you ma'am," you curtsy. Phoebe smiles at you.
"Now, I'll tend to the bees and then I could give you a tour," Henry leaves and you spare one last look at him. Phoebe and Monty wander off and you follow behind them. They start talking and it seems they have a lot in common.

"Henry!" you hear Phoebe scream. You run towards them.
"What happened?" you see Monty lay Phoebe on the chaise lounges. You look out the window and see Henry's body. Its covered in bee stings and he's almost unrecognisable. You stare at his corpse, unable to look away for a few seconds. You sit down across from Phoebe as she wakes up.

You and Monty make your way back home. Phoebe joined you, as she wanted to be around people for a while, until she had recovered from the shock of her brother's death. On the way home, you had doubts about the plan. You hated killing people and you hated that Monty was fine with it. Eventually, you decided that you would go along with the plan in your mother's memory.

Next on Monty's hit list was Lady Hyacinth D'Ysquith. Monty used his charm to his advantage, and posed as a member of the Foreign Office to whisper in Lady Hyacinth's ear. His first plan was to send her to war-torn Egypt, but she returned in perfect health. Next, he told her to visit a leper colony in India, but she returned, yet again, quite well. Finally, Monty sent her to an African jungle that was home to a tribe of cannibals. She is reported missing, presumed dead. You're just glad you didn't have to watch her die or see her body.

The next D'Ysquith on the chopping block is Major Lord Bartholomew D'Ysquith. Monty offers to help him with his weightlifting, and of course you go with him.
"Add more," the lord demands. Monty obliges, adding a bit too much weight.
"This is a little too heavy, Mr. Navarro," he says. Monty adds more weights.
"Too heavy! Take the weights off!" the lord shouts.
"More weight? Yes, sir," Monty says. He continues to add weights until the lord's arms give way. The bar slices his head clean off. This time, its too much for you. The blood, the pleading, its a lot to cope with.
"(Y/N), are you alright?" Monty asks. You look at him for a moment before running to him for comfort. He hugs you tightly.
"Its ok (Y/N). It'll all be over soon. We won't have to do this anymore," he says softly.

Monty doesn't ask you if you want to help him get rid of Lady Salome D'Ysquith. He doesn't want you to have to watch any more deaths. He tells you what happened though. Lady Salome was in a play, which ended with her character's suicide by a pistol shot to the head. Monty loaded a real bullet into the pistol, and she shot herself. You're glad you weren't there. This murder game is getting a bit much for you.

For once, Monty was apprehensive to kill someone. Lord Asquith Sr. had been so kind to you both, and neither of you wanted to kill him. Then one day, one of the servants came running up to you.
"Mr. Navarro! There has been a terrible accident. Lord Asquith has suffered a heart attack. He's dead," the servant says.
"Thank you for informing me," Monty says, looking genuinely heartbroken. The servant runs off.
"At least it saves us the trouble of killing him," Monty says. You can tell he didn't want this to happen, but it had to.

———

You find out that somehow, Lady Hyacinth is still alive. Her ship is returning home tomorrow.
"(Y/N), I know you won't want to hear this, but we must be at the dock tomorrow when Lady Hyacinth disembarks," Monty says.
"I know. I'll come with you," you say.
"You don't have to come if you don't want to," Monty says.
"I want to," you say.

The next day, you arrive at the dock, unseen. Monty brings an axe with him. As Lady Hyacinth disembarks from the boat, Monty uses the axe to cut the supports and Lady Hyacinth falls into the water and drowns as you both run home.
"There's only one D'Ysquith left. This will all be over soon," Monty reassures you on the way home.
"I'm glad. This is awful," you say. Monty wraps an arm around your shoulders.
"Its fine (Y/N). It'll be over before you know it," Monty says.

During this time, Monty and Phoebe were engaged. The wedding was going to be in a few months, and you couldn't be happier for them

Soon, Monty, Phoebe, Sibella, her husband Lionel and yourself are invited to Highhurst for a weekend by Lord Adalbert, the final D'Ysquith standing. You, Monty and Phoebe arrive first, and to your surprise, Miss Shingle, the woman who told you and Monty about your lineage, was a servant of the D'Ysquiths, and had been for 39 years. Soon, Sibella arrived alone, with news that Lionel had been arrested in Newmarket.

After a quick tour of the house, you sat down for dinner. You had an awful meal and Lord Adelbert kept arguing with Lady Eugenia. Monty kept trying to poison Adelbert's food, but couldn't. When he finally poisoned the dessert, the lord didn't want it. He insisted on Sibella eating it. In a last ditch attempt to save her, Monty knocked the dessert over.

Then, the lord started telling a story about how he was betrayed in the Boer War. You were tired from the journey to Highhurst, and you nearly fell asleep. But when the lord succumbs to poison, your attention is undivided.

———

Following Lord Asquith's death, Monty was announced Lord Montague D'Ysquith Navarro, Ninth Earl of Highhurst. He and Phoebe were married soon after, and you were happy. The game of death was over. And you and Monty couldn't be happier with how your lives had turned.

A/N - I skipped the ending of Monty being arrested and then going free because I like the ending like that. Add it in your mind if you want the ending.
