Guards at the door (1)

"Baroness, I sent someone to get the town guards as you requested," James informed Katrina while watching her from a distance. 

It was hard to fathom the baron was dead. After years of working for the baron, it was painful to see him dead. However, this was not the case for his wife. James expected Katrina to ball her eyes out, but the baroness had not shed one tear. What did he expect from a woman who ordered him to slowly poison her husband?

'Was she never in love with him?' James thought. Even though she wanted the baron dead, he thought she would at least have some ounce of love to show the baron right now. Katrina looked like a stranger who stumbled across the baron.

"Good. When they come, tell them the duke killed my husband and this man," Katrina ordered James.
