In the Duke's mansion, Irona had finally lost all sanity.
"Why..Why did you have to kill her? It's all your fault".
The once clean knife was covered in blood. The knife met flesh and a satisfying splat was heard. The tip of the blade sank deep into the dukes neck. But it wasn't enough. Irona kept stabbing until blood was everywhere. The bed, the wall, the floor. Everything was red.
Irona had killed the duke. At long last, she had taken revenge for the death of her baby daughter.
However, she was still in pain. She was all alone in this world. The Duke had died and her daughter had also died so she had no-one. At that moment, the knife was at action once again. Irona stabbed herself in the chest until she landed with a large THUMP. Lying in her own puddle of blood, Irona sneered as she muttered her last words "I'll see..you..in hell duke."
"Did you hear?"
"Hear what?"
"That Duchess Ernest killed her husband, the Duke."
"Duchess Ernest? Do you mean Irona Ernest?!"
Hearing the name Lilac became interested.
"She killed the duke?!"
"And then she committed suicide!"
"Really?!"
"Apparently it's being kept secret but I heard it from my husband."
Hearing the two women gossiping about Lady Irona, Lilac was emotionless. Even though normal people would feel surprised and question the women, Lilac just kept doing her job as she mumbled to herself, "Hm..is that so?".
