Start->Chapter 3->Episode 3 To Lucinda
Today was one of only two times that I have been angry enough to punish my sister overtly in a manner to ensure she understands the value of my authority. I have found her obsessions to be tiresome when they get in the way of my amusements and yes I have often felt her hand of restraint upon me when I wished to destroy those who were foolish enough to get in my way but today my sister decided to act like part of the human race and forget her Dubois heritage and this is unacceptable.
For Liselle to step outside her bubble and actually consider the impact of us on the life of another is something she has not done since her early teens, something she has not done since the first blush of love.
It appears my sister had lunched with minxie with the sole purpose of giving her the sage advice that perhaps minxie should avoid my company and perhaps not enter into any arrangements with me. How do I know this-- the same way I know everything else, I ensure there are people all over town who have a vested interest in overhearing the conversations of others and passing said information back to me.
Some little serving wench dribbling with excitement was happy to divulge their conversation for my time and money and the opportunity to cause the downfall of a daughter of the privileged few. The money was hers however my time was not available for lesser beings unless they are submitting to my errant sexual desires for they were not acceptable in most of polite society, my family excepted.
My sister had the temerity to tell minxie to beware dealing with me and this was not acceptable in any realm, if I choose minxie then she is mine and my sisters strange fondness for this girl perplexes me beyond belief. I waited for my sister, my anger a cold hard thorn in my heart as I did not enjoy rage as others do, I enjoy revenge.
I was quite calm and casual when we conversed for it does not bode well to reveal yourself to others and when I brought up their meeting Liselle was not surprised as she was aware I would have known. I then reminded her that everyone has secrets, and if they wished them to remain thus they would reconsider before interfering in my life again. My sister gazed at me with her frozen beauty, a true ice queen and I knew that here, blood of my blood, was my true match. For all that I could threaten if she wanted she could rival my vicious retaliation blow for blow and I did not back down despite her lack of concern. I told her that minxie was not to be approached again but Liselle did what she always does, she walked away without a word.
