Lady Dove Wheatley did not expect to be arrested in the end. It was said that the Horse Keepers never failed in their missions. For so many years, they had managed to get away with causing mayhem, unseen and unheard. She couldn't fathom why things had not worked out when it came to her.
As she sat in handcuffs, sweating under the questioning of a constable, she cursed the Horse keepers and Sigrid. Because of them, she would be spending a lot of time in an Eldorian prison or even be executed, unless her family intervened.
The door of the small interrogation room was opened. In walked Sigrid and two burly knights. The constable stood up and offered her the chair he had been sitting in.
Sigrid faced Lady Dove, running her hands over the gold pearl necklace around her neck. It was the same one Lady Dove had paid to acquire the services of the Horse keepers.
