Underneath the curtain of hair was a very beautiful face. As long as you were viewing it from the left side , you would think it was the most perfect face in the world; with ruby red eyes, a cute button nose and soft pink lips. That is until you looked at the right side.
The right side of Elenor's face was terrifying.
It had was covered in patches of flesh which allowed bones to be visible all the way to her neck. Her right eye socket was also empty and only a black hole could be seen where the eyeball once was.
King Alfred touched the side of the face that was without flesh.
Elenor looked up at her king with admiration in her eyes. She was extremely loyal and devoted to him no matter what.
"Tell the soldiers to wipe out all the servants working in the castle and do it quietly; We can't have anyone being suspicious of our plans." King Alfred said , twirling a lock of Elenor's golden hair around his finger.
"Yes, your majesty" she said still staring at the king.
She would never admit it but she had fallen deeply in love with her King. However if the king should ever discover such, he would be extremely dissatisfied with her and would definitely replace her. Therefore, she could only suffer the torment of love in silence.
"My lord, may I suggest that we ill all the servants and guards except the manager. I believe his name was Warren."
"And why is that Elenor?"
"Warren is the royal family's most trusted servant, if he disappears they will get suspicious " said Elenor.
"You're right. Good girl " . The king patted her head , stood up for the bed and walked to stand in front of the floor length mirror." Very well then, do as you please. The sooner we finish this , the sooner I get to take this fake skin off".
