Abandoned by the Duke, I'm the Divine Seraph novel · Chapter 17 of 24
Chapter 17: The Ledger
I ran through the side door with the hall roaring behind me.
The corridor beyond was narrow and lined with portraits of Thornfield dukes, all of them cold and handsome.
At the end stood a door of black oak, standing open.
I heard a woman's voice inside it, very calm.
"Four hundred and twelve entries, Osric. Every vial, every date, every name."
I reached the doorway and stopped.
The Duke's study was a long room with a cold hearth, a desk the size of a boat, and shelves of iron-bound books.
Ilsabet stood beside the desk with a thick ledger clutched against her chest.
The Duke stood across the room, with six guards at his back and the bronze rod in his hand.
His other hand was twisted in her braid.
A knife lay against her throat, and the knife was in the hand of a guard captain.
"Rowan," she said, without turning her head. "Don't come in."
