After the Knight of the Peace left, Emily remained in the house and listened for her mother's movements. The first place she went was the office and Emily stood outside the door, watching her mother digging through papers, and seeming almost frustrated. Whatever she was looking for, she couldn't find it. Emily wondered if the papers she'd procured through means of a thief were the much sought after item. When Emily questioned her mother as to what she was doing, her mother, of course, lied, saying that she was upset and just taking it out on the papers. She could at least lie a bit better, but Emily had caught her off guard and better yet, in a state of frustration. The woman was nerves, and easily compared to a rat being shoved into a corner. This, besides the news of her father's death, gave Emily great satisfaction. The next day was spent indoors, hiding from the investigation and waiting for other knights to come and ask questions. They would want to see her father's study, no vacant of the likely damning evidence, and everything else. Emily would answer a thousand more questions, cry a bit more, need to excuse herself for the subject of her father's "business" made her feel "ill," and give some words of disbelief that her father turned out to be that monster. Her story remained solid and unchanging. She had no idea, she always knew her father to be a man of honor, she didn't understand how it could be the same man, and then worries shared about the children. When evening finally came, she was exhausted, and her mother retreated to her wing of their enormous home, and it left Emily alone to think about how to act. The murder was convenient in many ways, but at the same time, it left her with the problem of her mother. She knew her mother would try to deny everything, so she had to find some way to get that woman into a jail cell for the rest of her existence. She needed to make sure that if her mother ever did get out, she'd be shunned and rejected by the entire city, enough that she'd leave and never come back. Preferably though, if Emily got her way, her mother would never see the outside of a cell for the remained of her days. Emily was going to head up to bed finally when she came into the large foyer and found Cormac speaking with the family steward. "Cormac," she smiled and hurried over to him. The house steward apologized and then excused himself. Emily hugged Cormac tightly. She was always pleased to see him, and when she pulled back she whispered, "We need to talk." Kissing him, she took his hand into hers, and led him to a room that the family rarely used. It, however, had doors, and once they were in, she shut them and even locked them before turning to face Cormac. "I've been wanting to see you all day," she said, "I couldn't leave though." |
