Ch9
The body was identified as a commoner. This news made van feel better, because if it was someone close to him, he didn't know what he would do. As the morning went on, hitome and van had planned an exqurition. (Ch 7) van had to work all morning as usual do, and hitome could wait until she could see him again. She longed to scream like she had a couple night ago. When the time rolled around, van had the servant take her to the secret spot to wait for him, because he had a late meeting.
As hitome sat outside and waited for her stallion to arrive, the hours passed until a servant came to take her home.
The body found that morning was identified. The body was identified as mearl. She had slit her own throat after her plan to break up van and hitome failed.
When hitme got back o the castle, she found van sitting in his chair crying.
"She killed herself because of me..." was all van could say.
"It is not your fault!" screamed hitome
"Yes it is!" yelled van as he blazed past hitome
Hitome could swear she felt her shoulder freeze on her.
That night she lay on bed feeling frustrated and sad. She was frustrated with van but sad that mearl was dead.
When hitome was ready to go to bed and turn off her light, she found a letter.
The letter was left by mearl.
The letter said.
Even though I failed to kill you hitome, I won't let you have him.
He is mine and mine forever, whether or not I am alive.
I always hated you for taking him away from me. Did u know he was going to marry me, before you came? I was going to be his bride and be happy for once in my life, but no you had to ruin it. You slut!
Well my final plan will work though.
My final plan may seem weird to you but it is genius.
Van will never get over my death and will think it was his fault.
Ha ahaha I win
Bye sucker.
After reading the letter, hitome didn't feel like sleeping, she had to tell van, mearl's wicked plan. She looked and looked for hours around the castle, and finally found van.
When she found him all he had to say to her was "I can't marry you! Mearl wouldn't want me to."
"okay ...."Said hitome with tears running down her face. Mearl had won like in the letter.
Mearl owned van forever, dead or alive.
