Looking from Ruthar to Duchess Phera and back again, she couldnt understand why no one came to help him. She was still young, and wasnt privy to all the gossip that Vampires shared, especially the Elders, so she had no idea why no one came to Ruthar's aid.<br/><br/>Turning her gaze to Marget, another elder vampire, she turned to ask Ruthar just what he had done to insult Duchess Phera, but he was so weak that he couldnt even form words, and could only watch, hear, not speak in his defence.<br/><br/>Phera's other friend spoke as well, adding her own opinion and making Emily feel even more awkward and out of place, even among her own kind. She wanted to dig herself a hole to hide, but didnt want to shame herself among the Elders of her kind. Not moving from the spot, she faced down both women who were fixing blame to her.<br/><br/>"No, Mi'lady, I have no idea why his women arent with him", she said, as she knew of his allure, but as a Kindred, she didnt fall for it.<br/><br/>Lisa's reply shocked her to her undead heart. Kill them, and as painfully as possible, why. She had been taught to take only what she needed and nothing more. To not only completely drain your human, but to make them fear you, was reprehensible even to her, and unnecessary.<br/><br/>She was left speechless as she was told the fate, or likely fate of the servant,and saw now why no one was helping him. "I..please forgive me, I had no idea that he had done that, none at all", she said, trying not to lose sight of her senses and babble like some chambermaid.<br/><br/>Thus, she did and said nothing as three of Phera's house hands walked out into sight and took Ruthar away from her. The mallet and axe meant only one thing, he would be finished off, then cut up and his body would be burnt. At least she assumed, she had never seen a Kindred killed before.<br/><br/>"Duchess, I had no idea, no idea at all", she said, then calmed down as Phera didnt affix any blame to her, one advantage to being as young as she was.<br/><br/>"You flatter me Milady, your beauty is far in excess of mine", she said in reply to Pheras statement that her beauty was known, then walked quickly to keep up with her as she was lead for the front doors of her manor. This was her first time here, with an Elder like her, and she was determined not to act like a novice even though she was.<br/><br/>Following her through the front doors of her expensive residence, she soflty gasped as she saw the designs on the walls. No paintings were hung up, and she could tell why.<br/>"You have a beautiful home Mi'lady", she said and followed Dutchess Phera closely, curious as to what knowledge she had to pass on to a vampire as young as Emily was.
