"That b*tch!" Geraldine Laurent kicked the stone to vent out her anger. She really doesn't care is Pinky was gone or dead as she had many extra servants to serve her needs. She only wanted some attention from the Duke's eldest son, Gael. She had taken interest in him since the day she saw him in the swordsmanship competition.
She even tried to approached Gael but she was pushed to the sides by his knights and she could even remember the glare Gael gives to her like she is just dirt in his eyes.
That is why, she thought it was an opportunity to use Pinky's disappearance to make her presence known to the Gauthier's family and build ties for her own good, and also to boost her family's wealth and power.
She also gets some information that the only daughter of the Duke's family and she's also there when Geraldine Gauthier use the crossbow at the event. She collect all the information and decided that she will use Geraldine for her advantage.
