The Demon
His task had been to court Carlie, and after my marriage, arrange an accident for her, with the queen’s help.
Love? What are you talking about? How could I love a bastard’s whore? An assassin? Well...the viscount just couldn’t stand that—that vulgar girl wasn’t even a virgin.
I still have no idea how I was able to hold back. I’m pretty sure that I shaved some enamel from my teeth, that’s how hard I ground them. I didn’t tighten the garrote, however. Instead, I gently smiled at the viscount.
“Dear boy, from now on, you’ll have to worship at Carlie’s feet. Keep in mind, that you and your family are only alive as long as she is.”
