The Beast And The Blessed
Chapter 143
Thirty-Six: Joselin
Joselin's P.O.V.
My eyes were glued to Cora all day. She was happier than I had ever seen her, making me anxious not to know what was happening inside her head. The curvy woman walked quickly, with only a small limp, as she practically danced around the castle.
If it weren't for her long skirt that cut off mid-shin, no one would know about her prosthetic leg.
Having Rona gone made everyone happy.
I wasn't aware of another explanation for Cora's behavior. The only thing that changed was Rona leaving. It made me think that I had been right.
Even I knew walking up to her and asking Cora about Rona's trophy wouldn't be appropriate. How would I word that? Hey Cora, have you seen your leg lately?
The middle-aged woman would probably try to skin me alive. Her leg was a sensitive topic. Granted, it had not only been cut off years ago in a battle, but the person responsible for her losing it had it as a keepsake and was probably using it against her. I would have slaughtered Rona long ago if I were missing the limb.
Her dishwater blonde hair shined in the sunlight, visible to me even with a window and a lot of space between us. The stripes of silver that gave away the plump woman's age seemed to be thickening by the day. I had to wonder, if I told her about her leg being on display in Rona's bedroom, would she do my job for me? Would knowing about it be enough to have her go mad and kill Rona, so I wouldn't have to deal with her anymore?
It almost seemed too easy. I could bait Cora and sit back to enjoy the show. But then, it would make finding out if anyone else was involved more difficult. There was no point in killing Rona if she had others working with her. Cutting off the head of the snake only worked when it was a oneheaded serpent.
"You've been very nosey today." Cyrus teased from my right. I turned with an unamused stare, forcing my eyes away from the courtyard through the window of the great room in the front of the castle.
She was going into town. It wasn't unusual for her, but it meant I couldn't follow. I had been watching her all day, and following her into town would only make her suspicious of me.
I disliked her, as did Aisha and Margot... so I disliked the entire council. But the last thing I needed was her turning hostile on me when I already had Rona to deal with.
It would be suspicious for the council to turn down a descendant of the moon goddess from joining us if she pledged. She was all but guaranteed a spot. With Aurora on my side, I hoped that the last council seat would be someone worthy of trust and respect.
I ignored Cyrus's comment and narrowed my eyes at him. We needed to get him alone to discuss the issue of Rona and the part he was to play in it.
"You'll be joining us for dinner tonight, cousin." The emphasis on his cover made him roll his eyes.
