Well, yeah.
She already threatened him with that, but that was neither here nor there.
“I won’t cheat.”
Somehow, she believed him.
“What is next?” Tony asked, getting into the whole journal thing. As a scientist, he was loving it, and he only hoped they solved this before they left.
He was dying to know what the hell went on here, and who the fourth person was in this love rectangle.
Pulling out another page, she read it for them.
And it wasn’t pretty for Ceit.
Not.
At.
All.
‘My Lord Ravensmire,
Word has come back, and the truth is now out. I have been given the news, and it is devastating. I’ll be birthing my child soon, and once I have, I have been told I am to leave Ravensmire.
Finally, I received word from you, and your steward. There are no words to describe how much your letter hurt me, and I will never forget the words in it.
So this is it.
I am to be thrown away, and even though I gave you a child, we are done.
Well, I curse you and your life.
I hope that you feel nothing but loneliness and pain as you age. I pray that when you walk these halls, you hear me weeping in agony over your choices.
I went to the local witch, and she cursed you for me. You shall know no peace, and you shall walk through the blood and bowels of the fallen until the day you die.
Your heart shall be fractured, and you will never have peace as blood haunts you. All of your heirs shall have that same curse until the end of time.
Never forget that this is your punishment for betrayal, and that I was the real lady of Ravensmire.
I was the queen here.
May your world crumble around you until this castle is nothing more than ruins, and with it go your story.
For you are a bastard, Duncan.
I curse you to never love again.
I curse you to never marry.
I curse you, and I shall forever haunt these halls.
So mote it be.
Ceit.’
Finn whistled.
