The Amazon and her Granddaughter Ch. 03

... away. She finished him.

The forest, which had been silent, suddenly began to be filled with the sounds of birds and beasts, it even seemed to lighten as if some cloud had gone. Katarinka looked at the four corpses, there was no reason to do anything with them, they'd come from filth and it seemed fitting to leave them there so that the rats could feast on them overnight. The only thing she did was break the staff, chances were it would have rotted here with the bodies, but why take the risk of it falling into some peasant's hands with delusions of grandeur?

Following the funeral, Aina had told Hugh she would be staying for her Granddaughter's wedding. He had been his normal formally polite self, combined with his normal coldness which told her she was as welcome as an outbreak of Pig Fever. The witch Nesti had not returned, being decapitated was something even the evil followers of Chaybois couldn't use their cruel magics to recover from, and Katarinka suspected that Hugh knew it was Katarinka who had killed her and that she, in turn, was aware of his plot.
