I was not in the right state of mind when I acted. It wasn't until Myrtle pushed me away that I realized what I had done. The sweet sensation of her lips had numbed me to everything else. Myrtle ran from the room without looking back, while I stood there, pondering my actions. My emotions had gotten the best of me, leading me to do something that went against my plan to defame the Duke. I was lost in thought, not realizing that some time had passed.
My legs felt weak, and I knelt down, covering my face with my hands. Why did Myrtle run away? What was her plan? I didn't have to wait long for an answer. I heard Anna's voice, and she came into the room, hugging me. Her face was pale, and she was shaking.
