Islinda shouldn't feel this devastation over the death of a traitor — someone who had tried to murder her. But then, Rosalind was murdered right in front of her and the manner was brutal. From the wound, it was obvious that the attacker slashed her throat so quickly she must have barely registered the pain. Right before a dagger was plunged to the hilt in her chest, staining her white dress red. Islinda didn't need to ask what weapon was used to end a Fae this quickly, it must be iron.
There was a puddle of blood around Rosalind's body and Islinda came to the startling realization, someone killed her in the middle of this chaos. Someone who was not Aldric. Although Islinda had not seen it happen, this was not Aldric's mode of operation. He would not be cowardly enough to end her in secret. The dark Fae prince loved to make a bold statement and she pictured Aldric ripping Rosalind's heart out just to scare the others who might have ideas — others like her.
