The rest of the servants trembled in fear and bowed their heads even lower than before. No one wanted to suffer the same fate as Algerton whose screams have died down and all thats left is a lifeless, skinned corpse.
The ballroom's floor had been dyed red with Algerton's blood. When Elenor was done admiring her work, she asked the skeletons to dispose of the body by sharing it amongst themselves.
" Kenward?"
"Yes my lady?" Kenward knelt in front of Elenor.
"Take the rest of the captured prisoners to their respective posts. Let them begin working immediately. "
"As you wish "
Elenor turned to go. However, she halted at the last minute and looked down.Her shoes had been stained with a sticky liquid which she must have accidentally stepped into. It was Algerton's blood and Elenor scrunched up her nose in disgust" Kenward...clean this mess." She said pointing at the pool of blood she accidentally stepped into.
Elenor walked across the ballroom to the entrance where she asked the girls she had chosen earlier to follow her to their new posts. Another skeleton stood at the entrance and handed Elenor her hat which she placed back on her head .
"You three, come with me. " She said flatly and the three girls trailed behind her silently to avoid incurring her wrath, while making sure their heads were still lowered.
VIOLA'S POV;
Viola and the others had been busy gathering supplies and finalising their plan .When they were done , they had a small meal after which they began the execution of their plan.
But first, they needed to hijack a wagon.
They planned to use the wagon to enter into the castle undetected. Earlier, they studied the routes that the wagons took and figured out the best time to hijack a wagon.
Dressed in fitting disguises, they blended into the environment like a chameleon and waited for the wagon they targeted to appear.
