Yusofa.
Black Rose Castle.
This was a magnificent castle built especially for Mary Frank. It was modeled 1:1 after Rose Castle in the Rose Territory, though it was significantly smaller. The grounds were planted with red roses, which had been watered with the blood of the Yusofa People.
It was in this very castle that Mary received the news of Lorne Jackson's bizarre new hobby: an obsession with plants.
She hurled the silver wine glass in her hand, smashing it against an attendant's head.
She never imagined that Lorne would not only survive but also develop a new hobby—one that was simply beyond words.
The attendant dropped to his knees, blood pouring from his head, yet he dared not make a sound.
"What else?"
Mary asked coolly.
The attendant kept his head down, his forehead nearly touching the floor.
