“What an amusing performance, it’s almost like they’re actually terrible actors.” Maximilian joked in his mind, clearing his throat to hide the grin it gave him. The two were just wearing these masks for his sake, but the real conversation was far more interesting. Byron toyed with her emotions while Genevieve contemplated her justice. Despite all of this though, it could not be denied that they were truly meant for each other. One was a lecherous fiend who deep down loved his wife and the other was devoted entirely to her husband yet hated what he was. A balance so perfect it was almost eerie. It was a beautiful thing that gave him confidence in mankind, but he couldn’t resist being a little jealous.

As they said their good nights, the sorrow and anger in Genevieve’s eyes sparked before she moved out of the moonlight. It was a shame that such a beautiful and kind woman was in love with Byron. Part of him wished he could help her by changing her husband, but another told him he didn’t deserve her. This was neither the time nor place for these thoughts though, everyone was tired.

“It’s not trouble at all.” He responded to them both. “Goodnight to you both.” As he returned to his room, he spotted Captain Fisher in the hallway looking a tad concerned. “It’s okay captain, I was there and nothing happened.” He assured him before going into his room.

Just after his head hit the pillow he fell to sleep, everything he’d learned about the Mayfairs running through his mind before he drifted away. He dreamt again, he witnessed the murders carried out by his command. The first time he felt a tad guilty, but now he felt justified in these actions. Two of the scenes he saw stuck with him, the first stuck because there was no murder.

The sun was setting as an elderly nobleman enjoyed a ride in a carriage. The driver stopped in front of an orphanage for a moment while a woman crossed the street in front of them. In the window he saw a child looking at him, a bit of a sad site but something in the boys face was offsetting. He wasn’t ugly nor was he sickly looking, just something about him made the nobleman uncomfortable. Something made him want to scorn the boy for a misdeed, like he’d stolen from him. He shook his head as the carriage started moving again, dismissing the thought as an illusion from old age.

The second scene stuck because of how vastly different the scenario was.

A bolt of lightning lit up the night as two swordsmen clashed on a road through a forest. A woman watched the battle from the side of the road with tears streaming down her face. One of them slipped up and got slashed across the arm, falling to the ground in pain. Before he could finish him off, the woman grabbed his arm and screamed. “Please don’t, this is barbaric!” But he ignored her pleas and shoved her into a tree, chuckling a bit in the process. The man on the ground was enraged by this sight, so he lunged to his feet and stabbed the man through the chest. As he watched the man die, the woman approached him still crying. He embraced her to comfort her, but it was a short lived victory. “You killed my husband, you monster.” She said as she drove a knife into his side. The last thing he saw as he bled on the ground was the woman crying over the other mans body.

Both images were disturbing in their own way, but this time Maximilian was not woken by them. Oddly enough, he had one of the best night’s sleeps he’d had in a while.
