For a moment the Duke thought he was mistaken. The woman sleeping in front of him only bore a passing resemblance to the soothsayer. However, the smell lingering in the room was unmistakably that of Madame P.
The burning candle on the table was only a stump. How long has she already been waiting for him? The specified meeting time had actually passed a long time ago.
It had taken him two days to solve her riddle. Molière, a ridiculous French poet and his work “Tartuffe” had been the answer. A piece about a liar, who wormed his way into the aristocracy. She had managed to draw a hearty laugh from him with this choice.
He couldn’t explain why he impulsively crept closer to the sleeping woman as quietly as possible. He eyed her diminutive figure thoughtfully. She was sleeping with her head on the table.
She appeared entirely different when her eyes were closed. He couldn’t understand the allure the other night, but her appearance appealed to him. She looked much younger than he had been led to believe. If she would make herself up more favorably, surely she would be properly good-looking.
Without make-up she would likely never leave her house due to her pockmarks…
The scars! Now that he would see her in such close proximity and in peace… The pattern of these scars!
He recognized them from the report of the coroner, who had performed the autopsies on the Tauren’s victims. It was unmistakeable, without a doubt, she must have been in the sect’s clutches!
A cold hatred ate through his insides. To regain his composure, he balled his hands into fists. He wanted to hit something to let out this anger. This woman, whom he had assigned all of the perfidy in the world, was actually a victim of the wretchedness of others!
