The Murder at Leeuwenhof

 

Haensic officials met with Georgiana's corpse shortly after the scene.

 

Two diligent Black Reiters of Kaer Vrakai trotted along the roads on their horses, accompanying two noble ladies to their final destination, the keep of Leeuwenhof. Seizing the prey they so intently sought out, Olgierd and Consus considered it a duty done, a ritual performed till satisfaction. Her throat had been cut and she lay like butchered game in a waste of… blood. A ruined heap for all to see. The blood from which they dipped their scarves, forever marking it with the lifeblood of their adversary, a perceived traitor to the cause, a traitor to their employers.

 

As the flesh of her neck splits, the red essence of life spurts from her veins and runs rivulets from the dire wound. Thick beads crawling as brisk as they travel. Her eyes were wilder than a deer caught in a trap, and there was a dark beauty to what had transpired here. Her ravishing beauty was gone, marred by the trappings of darker things; a stench of death so vile that men entering the castle would regret entering for days on end. But, oh, there was so much blood - dark crimson, with a discreet, metallic scent. It cascaded across her gorget and soaked the cloth material of her uniform, right through Olgierd's fingertips. He grimaced slightly when the desperate woman had pleaded for her  'Uncle to save her', though her mute sobbing proved futile.

 

It flowed like a lazy river, like so much red gravy across the manor's floor and down into the plank gullies that interrupted the carpets. It seemed into every corner of the room and made the once beauty of a manor ruined by the gore of the red, streaming blood. As the life fluid drained out of her in it's garish red, her skin took on the pallor of a corpse, her head slumped not long after. 

 

Georgiana Alexander was dead.

 

All that was left of the blood that had once rippled thick and scarlet in her veins was clasped in his callused fingers, the substance which he inconsiderably wiped over the silky fabric of her gown. He's not all that inhuman. She just doesn't need it anymore, he thought. Below the merc’s unmoving eyes was a sinister grin, though subtle, stretching across his bleached and hardened complexion; long since littered with fading scars. Neither moved, not the eyeballs, not the stretched thin lips. At that moment his motives were laid bare; he was a mocker, one who enjoyed whatever torment he could inflict on his adversaries, and more so those who hid under the guise of an ally.

“For our brothers…” he muttered lowly, with a voice coarse and gruff.

 

All the while Consus took great pleasure in the undertaking, cleaving flesh from bone with his wicked arming sword like a saw. A manic smile on his lips as his grotesquely electrified features were wide and his cheek was split open from a close quarters dagger wound.

 

“Blood for Ashford!” He raved maniacally, his ally not so amused, but not particularly disgusted either; crudely unphased, like he’d always been. It was bloody work with unkempt hands, and when the King of Haense received her head it was no doubt that at least one name would be known to the Haense men -- Consus Valentinian Vallberg; a man who claimed to be the new owner of the magnificent keep and those few inhabitants that remained. The other... favoured secrecy. He was not in the habit of declaring his name across the continent.
