Chapter 103: 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.
She looked at a family of three, a little girl was jumping care freely as she walked between her parents. Her
father was holding one of her hands, in the other she had a maple leafed sugar candy. Would this little girl still be
smiling like this, ctomorrow? She asked herself.
By the tthe carriage pulled to a stop behind the walls of the townhouse, her mind had traveled to many
places. When she stepped out of it, assisted by her maids, she noticed three unmarked carriages and realized
that she was the last Thorin to arrive at the house which would be used as the headquarters of their scheming.
The townhouse was beautiful, a large family sized house that boasted of a polished enchanted stone walls that
shimmered subtly in the daylight. That alone spoke volumes to what it had cost Roland to acquire, houses like
this did not ccheap and they were rarely sold.
Tall, arched windows adorned with intricate stained glass, depicting scenes of mythical creatures rumored to live
in the Mystwood Grove forest. Maple leaves on long vines imbued with a touch of magic gracefully climbed the
walls, when one gave the illusion of falling, another grew back.
"Welcmistress," a distinguished gentleman with salt and pepper hair stepped in Sigrid’s path.
She glanced at him and then at Brolin who explained who the man was immediately.
"His is Alistair Warwick, the butler sent by the organization."
This was their new way of referring to the enchanting parlor as they could not call it the brothel publicly.
Sigrid then looked at the man again, he was short in stature but his presence was commanding, he wore a
tailored black tailcoat and white gloves. His aura was elegant and refined, he was comparable to any of he many
royal butlers.

Alistair held his hand out and a few leaves and stones levitated. "Unfortunately, there is not much else | can do,
my size madeunfit to be a sword mage and my magic is not strong enough. | left the mage estate five years
ago and the organization tookin. Now, | serve you mistress." He fell to one knee and bowed his head.
Sigrid recognized Alistair Warwick by his name, he was Emmah’s loyal butler that cinto her service after the
enchanting parlor was eliminated by Emmah and Rina.
As she was now the big boss of the brothel, he worked for her, as for his declaration of loyalty, that was left to
see.
"System, check his loyalty."
"50%" It answered, the screen remained blank as if she did not even need to check. "I recommend that you help
him increase his magic and make him eternally grateful."
As she knew what to do about him, Sigrid gestured for him to stand.
"Servewell and you will be rewarded." She touched his shoulder and patted it twice.
Alistair felt a surge of energy enter his body, it was similar to the feeling of warmth he experienced when his
magic was awakened as a boy. At the moment, he could not dwell on it as Sigrid was already walking towards
the heavy oak doors of the house.
The doors were opened by two knights and Sigrid entered, she was led to the drawing room immediately where
she found her close family and three cousins.
However, that was not the only company available, there were two strangers that were not part of the family and
yet not Thorin’s. It was a man and woman, they were dressed in attires suited for nobles.
As her cloak was taken by Lanai, Sigrid did not peel her eyes from them. She did not want strangers here, only
people from the organization and her close family.
"Your highness, you are finally here." Duchess Mirena approached Sigrid and hugged her. She kissed her on the
cheek and Sigrid retaliated.
A similar greeting followed with her mother, grandfather, father and sister-in-law. Her three male cousins opted
to bow politely.
As she sat down near the fire place, her brother John strolled into the room and he bowed. "Good morning your
highness."
She scoffed, "Not Siggy."
John laughed and he moved towards
the strangers, sitting down beside the
woman. She had striking, foxchiken

Sigrid could sense danger emanating from the woman, she looked sly and sly women were never good. She had
worked hard to keep John from falling for Emmah only for another foxy woman to step in.
Indeed the universe hated villains and went out of it's way to plot their downfall. The Thorin’s in the were a
villainous family, no surprise their path to survival would be littered with thorns.

The air thickened with tension pretty quickly as Sigrid kept her focus on the cunning woman that was spelled
nothing but trouble. From the way her body was leaning towards John, she could guess the kind of relationship
the two had.
John stood up rather quickly as did the two strangers, the woman put a hand on John’s arm, clinging to him as
her eyes darted between Sigrid and the rest of the Thorin’s.
"Sister, please do not be offended, | was the one that instructed them not to talk to you until | had explained
their identities to you first." John explained.

Her voice was commanding as she snarled, even her parents wondered for a second if they had shown any
disrespect.
