“Lord Rikard,” she said to the surly, stumpy, dark-haired man now
hovering before her. “To what do I owe this… call?”
She’d been out on her usual evening stroll over her lands, attempting to
find a few moments’ peace in the cool quiet air — so of course, Lord Rikard
had apparently decided it was an excellent time for some trespassing. And
Louisa’s clammy hand was already gripping the knife at her belt, her heart
thundering ominously through her chest, as her rational brain shouted
distant, dire warnings, deep in her skull.
No. No. She needed to stay calm, and control her temper, and extract
herself as quickly as possible. Rikard wasn’t her odious departed husband,
even if the resemblance became more pronounced with every passing day.
Lord Scall was dead. Dead.
“Aren’t you going to invite me to walk with you?” Rikard snapped,
casting a brief, disdainful glance down toward Louisa’s shabby riding dress.
“So we can discuss this matter together, like civilized relations?”
Louisa clutched her knife tighter, and dragged down a deep, shaky
breath. “No, I’m afraid not,” she said, clipped. “You can tell me whatever
you need to say right here.”
Rikard’s white face flushed with red, his broad chest puffing out against
his beautifully tailored waistcoat. “Typical,” he hissed. “Look, we need to
discuss the orcs, Louisa. The orcs you’ve been allowing to illegally camp on
your property. For months!”
The orcs. Louisa couldn’t quite suppress her wince, and Rikard lurched
closer, jabbing his thick finger toward her. “It’s a disgrace,” he continued
sharply. “It’s foolish, it’s dangerous, and it’s a frightful liability! To tolerate
those thieving, bloodthirsty beasts on your lands? Squatting there with their
feral little spawn? Only a few furlongs away from my property?”
Louisa drew down another deep, gulping breath, and fought the rising,
overpowering urge to shout that if the realm’s laws were fair, she would still
be the rightful owner of said property, its beautiful house, and all its
associated income. And Rikard would still be scuttling about in a cramped
filthy townhouse in the city, just like the poisonous vermin he was.
“Remind me, Rikard,” Louisa said instead, as smoothly as she could,
“how you are even aware of what might be transpiring on my property, at
any given moment? I certainly haven’t been confiding in you, and surely
my staff haven’t been sending you reports?”
