"Lady Bloodworthe!" The knight comes bursting through Shelton's room.
Her attention is immediately directed to her distressed personal knight, George. "Yes? What is George?" She replies with a strained smile.
She always hates it when people interrupt her.
"It's about..." He glances around the room, specifically at her two ladies, "Your trip."
Her eyes widen as she immediately recalls what he is implying, "Out! The both of you!" Both of the ladies make a speedy escape out of the room.
"She's not there anymore," George relays to her carefully darting his eyes at the ground.
"What do you mean, she's not there?" Shelton questions him rising from her seat.
"I mean her body isn't there anymore," he clarifies.
"Well, where could she have gone!? The poison...." Shelton trails off. "That damn physician!"
The knight jumps a bit frightened by her booming voice.
The redhead begins to pace around the room mumbling, "What if she didn't die? W-What if she remembers? Or if someone saw and retrieved her body? That means I wouldn't be able to marry the prince!"
She suddenly stops her pacing to turn and face George with a small, sinister smile, "You, my darling George go check the area for me. And I'll go check up on that damn physician, he better not run anywhere or I'll have his head!"
Her smile quickly dissipates as she notices George idly standing, "Well? What are you waiting for? Go!" George quickly bows toward her and scurries out of the vast room.
She takes a seat on her bed staring at the door that connected to her fiancé's, the prince. He would also spend the majority of his time with Jocosa, which Shelton got immediately jealous of.
That girl was always taking time away from her to spend with her future husband. In Shelton's mind, it didn't matter if they were siblings or not, she always got in the way.
Maybe that was the reason why she got rid of her or the simple fact that she never liked the princess from the start. It could be both, but again, the reason didn't matter to Shelton.
All that matters is that she is finally out of the way, and Shelton will do anything to make sure it stays that way.
