The universe hates villains.

As a new day arrived and the hours drew close to the elimination of the Silberuss family, Sigrid felt more and more uneasy. She had her eyes peeled on the streets as her carriage carried her off to the townhouse which Roland had given her as a gift.

Everything appeared to be normal, the city dwellers were unbothered, just happily getting on with their lives unaware that the streets would be dyed red the following day. To Sigrid, everything was off. the air was thick with an eerie stillness, as if the very atmosphere was holding its breath in anticipation of the impending doom.

The sun was dull, absent of the warm and comforting rays, it was because the season would soon change but Sigrid's mind attributed it to an ominous air. Even the shadows of the people on the cobblestone streets appeared to be longer and chilling.
