Coincidences

She walked the cold hallways of the wooden fortress. It was nearing winter, and the chill had set in already. Servants bowed to her as she passed, dignifying her as the lady of the castle. She merely walked on, not paying any attention. After all, it was beneath her.

She entered the room, adorned with rich silken tapestries and elegant paintings.

Sniffing the air gently, she said, “Your inability still amuses me.”

The dark figure gave a harsh laugh. “Why, my lady, you detected me. It relieves me that you at least know my scent.”

“Do not bore me with your idle talk. I asked you to come earlier, for my husband has come back.”

“So I hear. The news of Lord Inutaisho's conquests spread everywhere.”

“Leave, now.”

He came up to her and touches her face. “As you wish, my love. But remember, I shall have you one day.”

“Don't presume too much.”

“Don't worry; your husband shall meet his end soon, for I am his worst nightmare.”

With another inhuman laugh, the figure vanished.

“What a fool he is, playing right into my hands. Of course, I couldn't have done it without you. I'll destroy him. I'll be his worst nightmare.”

“An interesting coincidence.”

“Why?'

“He said the same thing too.”
