Basil looked at Catherine, who died while crying. Even so, her face wasn't filled with sorrow. Her mouth contradicted her eyes. While her eyes are flooded with tears, her mouth formed a smile.
Basil didn't really have any personal grudge against Catherine. However, he didn't want to leave any possible problem alone. In the past, Catherine had done many wretched things that had indirectly troubled him.
She, with her body, had managed to seduce quite a few high ranking officials, and completely controlled them on her whim. Such a woman was dangerous to be left alone.
She hadn't been on her right mind anymore. If he had left her alone, she would do many ridiculous things later.
In the end, birds of a feather flock together. Nicholas and Catherine were equally unstable. They were both two broken people met by fate.
