Chapter 399: Dove’s determination.
Lady Dove Wheatley was still in Eldoria and she was very dissatisfied with how things had left off with Roland. As she watched him on television, her heart refused to keep calm, the greed just multiplied.
All night long, Dove had twisted and turned in bed, wondering what she could do to remedy her troubles. She also asked herself how far she was willing to go to get what she desired.
As it turned out, she was willing to do anything. She did not want love and happiness with another, just Roland Maximus. All she had to do was get rid of the obstacle.
At 3:00 a.m. something in her had snapped and she had come to a decision. A decision that led her to the door of the Horse Keepers, a secret society that she had heard about from whispers among Eldorian knights in the war. They specialized in creating misfortune, accidents...that kind of thing.
Murder was not their cup of tea because active knights of different houses and the royal army took on the jobs so they had a small conscience. But if one was looking to ruin another, it was the place to go.
She watched Roland and Sigrid’s rise to power while waiting for someone to tend to her. Sigrid handed Roland a bouquet of flowers, he accepted them and kissed her on the lips.
Dove’s face was marred by ugly jealousy.
"They make a handsome couple, don’t they?" A masked figure slipped into the room.
Dove looked away from the television. She thought not, but she did not say.
The masked man sat down and said, "Name and business, be honest and be quick."
