@msktfired​ liked for an adele starter !!
“ i have been occupied these last few months. the city had become a place of trouble for me. ” one could not really say she’d deceived him, for there had been some truth in her former servant’s lies, even if her departure from the city had been entirely unwillingly. and nearly fatal too. in a way adele was glad he did not know the truth. perhaps it had been better to have aramis think she had just up and left without a care, left him without feeling the need to tell him. that sort of heartbreak was better than the one death brought.Â
the cardinal’s guard was down now, and apparently his health was failing, so there was no better timing than now to return and exact her vengeance. and the look on the man’s face had been priceless as he had seen her walk the streets without a care. ghosts did tend to haunt people like him. “ there is unfinished business between me and the cardinal. i’ve come to deal with it, after careful planning. ”
