The Countdown.

Baroness pov

"My lady, my lady!" The sound of the urgent knight's footsteps made me thrilled and my eyes twinkled.

I knew that she would not disappoint me. I was barely able to control my emotions when they stopped in front of me.

With glittering eyes yet a cold voice, I asked them, "what is it? Why are you making too much noise?" Although I faked anger, my hands were already trembling with excitement. I could not wait to go and kill her!

No! I would rather order Aurora and Caleb to kill her. That would be perfect! I was sure she would not even be able to attack them as she loved them too much.

My eyes sparkled with that thought. There could be nothing better than killing your enemy mercilessly. It would be like shedding her soul and body at once.

"My lady, the duchess, has returned. She is attacking the town to get revenge. What shall we do?" even if they all get collected, they would not be able to kill the duchess with their huge army.
