Chapter 226: Off to war.
Sigrid’s letter was very detailed and it mentioned Emmah, specifically highlighting that while Lady Jane’s daughter had died, Mirena was also giving birth and her child had lived. Lady Jane Fairfax was a superstitious drunk so Sigrid also added a claim that Emmah had swallowed the luck and life of Lady Jane’s child. To take it a step further, she called Emmah a cursed woman.
Using all the people that had been ruined or harmed because Emmah came into their lives, she made clear examples. Her last words were a warning to lady Jane, telling her that the Fairfax family be ruined if Emmah ever became one of them.
She put the letter aside and called for Alistair.
"Make sure that she gets it. It should not fall in the hands of anybody but Lady Jane." she specified.
Alistair nodded and he vanished out of the window with the letter.
Sigrid got her pen and wrote another letter, this one was to Mr. Bumblebert. He had picked up a vice of gambling lately and happened to be in need of money. She informed him of Emmah’s whereabouts currently and the fact that she was a Fairfax.
In case the two letters ever got discovered, Sigrid changed the handwriting in this one to a different one so that they would not be connected. She even changed the paper from white to brown. She handed it to Brolin who would make sure that it was delivered.
Then, she went back to bed and tried to go to sleep but just as she closed her eyes, she sound footsteps that were loud and hurried and then the bedroom door was opened.
