When they came back home, Shirlyn went to Kathy's room, once she entered she went to lock the door. She wanted to hear what her friend thought about the earlier events.
Kathy was already waiting for her friend as if she expected her to come into her room.
As soon as she saw Shirlyn locking the door after entering, she spoke, "there must be something genetic. I heard many rumors that mentioned his uncertainty and probably not human nature."
Shirlyn blinked as she let out a harsh breath, "there are rumors about anything, we can't base our investigation on rumors but on concrete proofs."
The maid nodded, while she wrapped a curl around her finger. "We should find out why he seemed to have a bad relationship with Victor." Kathy stated while she cupped her chin looking thoughtful.
"I just hope they are not dangerous. My sister seems to fancy Victor quite a lot." Shirlyn gasped. "Therefore I wonder if we should warn her before she becomes any more affectionate to him."
"We should have the certainty first that he's not dangerous, since you've talked to the King already and he learned that you know, you should ask him."
Shirlyn shook her head, "He will probably kill me if I dare to ask him again."
Kathy's face immediately lightened up and she smiled hugely like if she just had a revelation, Shirlyn rested her chin on her hand before asking: "what are you thinking about?"
"You can pretend you're not human too so that he will open up with you and confess!"
Shirlyn shook her head once again to nod no. "What if he's human and he will behead me for suspecting I'm a witch?"
Then her gaze went to check the wall clock, when she read what time it was she spoke again: "Let's go to sleep now, we will talk about it tomorrow."
Kathy nodded and went to turn the key to unlock the door to let Shirlyn walk away, they shared an understanding friendly gaze before Shirlyn found her way back in her room, trying to walk silently not to wake up her sisters. She just had to lay down and close her eyes for a few seconds to fall into a deep sleep.
"Rose!!! Wake up!!" Abigail threw the pillow, waking her sister up. Shirlyn grabbed the pillow she received and used it to lay her head on closing her eyes. Her sister raised an eyebrow and proceeded to take off both the pillow her head was resting on. Shirlyn scoffed noisily and lifted her head, opening her eyes.
"Lord David is on his way here to speak with you."
Shirlyn, hearing her sister's statement, shook her head and murmured, "s-s-speak about?" Then she cleared her voice to pretend the murmuring was due to her abruptus awakening.
"You will find out soon. Get ready now."
Shirlyn went to wear the dress she usually wore for minor occasions and started to walk nervously, she was tapping her fingers on her forehead as if that could help her to think of something useful.
"Lord David is here." Sharon's voice echoed from behind Shirlyn's door.
She took a long breath and went to open the door showing a plastic smile.
He had his head bandaged and limping walked in the room, his bushy eyebrows waggled, a raspy low voice came out of his mouth "you didn't even worry about how I was!"
"I'm sorry." Shirlyn murmured as she felt genuinely sorry about the conditions he was in, not that he didn't deserve it.
The Lord's body tensed up and his gaze became more furious, "the King offered me so much gold to make me forget about what happened." He leaned toward Shirlyn and pointed his cane against her, balancing the weight holding to the surface of the table. "but my nose was not the only thing you broke. You broke my heart too but unlike my leg and my nose that is irreparable."
He frowned, having Shirlyn scoff for his rude behavior. She looked up, trying to remain calm in front of that grumpy man, "do I have to remind you that I am the one who can intimidate the other here? You think everyone will believe your statements rather than believing mine and the King's declarations?"
He smirked, he opened his mouth to respond but Shirlyn didn't let him speak as she continued raising her voice. "I don't want to know where your bad intention and your toxic condition you were in would have led you to do."
His eyebrow lifted up and his smirk widened up like if he was enjoying seeing her furious.
"You should be the one to offer money to keep my mind away from the thought of your deplorable apparence and for having done what you did and even dared to come to my house threatening me."
Shirlyn's gaze was filled in rage and was fisting her hands at the sight of his shameless expression of yours.
"I bet the King will have you executed and then you won't have to worry about your broken nose or heart anymore."
He scoffed like her words weren't touching him even a bit but Shirlyn's arm stretched toward the door and was pointing, "OUT NOW!" She raised her voice.
He walked a few steps away to stop in the middle of the door's threshold to whisper "we're not done, yet. See you soon, lady Shirlyn." he turned around to bow in a miserable way for his plastered leg and then walked away limping slowly.
