forgotten maiden

the poisonous lord

Scarlet pov

Rodale seemed happy as he handled a vial of poison. What was this mad man plotting against to get my hands dirty? It was already risky for us to be seen together, although we were old lovers he was now a married man and I forever a maidservant nothing had changed after all. The promises we made to each other as youngsters were all gone into the wind. He was no longer Rodale, but Lord Gong, now we had to stop these secret meetings .I’ve served Lady Mallory since childhood, and I was not going to betray her again, but he had our son as a way to threaten me. I had no choice but to abide by what he had to say . It was such a terrible idea that I was to be used to kill lord mash slowly and the day of his daughter’s wedding to the crown prince that was when the poison would have spread accordingly. Ever since the crown prince had lost favour in his daughter, he had never been the same. But what made things worse was that I had to kill my own master with my bare hands.noone knew this man's treacherous deeds .his wife would not even believe me even if I tried to explain a quarter of his deeds.I look back and yet can not find a reason why this happened to meThings were to go as the man wanted if not he was sure to do so. As it stands, we had to eliminate him, and it would not be hard as I had Lady Mallory’s trust .she trusted me with everything, be it chores to confidential things.so there I was finally putting the plan into action as I poisoned the Lord .every meal needed to contain the poison be it breakfast, lunch or supper. He was often alone as Lady Mallory was busy arranging the marriage. that was the talk of the town everywhere you go. People were waiting for further updates, even the nobles would just take a stroll or buy things unnecessarily just to hear the gossip. As for me, I grabbed the chance to get money for myself as lady Mallory was very strict and secretive it no other servant in the household knew the details .I only knew the updates but the lady was so secretive about her personal life no wonder a love story can be made and it proved to be a success with that money I was able to give my son to hide to another state. There, he would be able to escape the drama in the capital, but before he went, I reminded him to always find a way to protect Lady Lily. We owe her everything, and it is also a sense of guilt.
