The Truth About the Glass, Part 28

“When I was a prince,” said the beast, “I had my own network of secret guards and spies to protect me. Sometimes, however, they served more to report my behavior to my father. I will admit I was something of a wayward lad. After I was cursed to beasthood, my father banished me, for which I can’t blame him. I had begun eating people, you know, and it was unbecoming. But he wasn’t heartless. He did have this small castle built for me, and he left me my secret guards.”</p> <p>“Right, so, castle. Guards. Spy network. What does that have to do with that racket going on outside?” Constance prompted impatiently.</p> <p>Is there a lady so lovely and fair? I also have ivory combs for her haaaaaaair! sang the peddler outside. She was up to the door now.</p> <p>“Well, protecting a banished, bloodthirsty and hirsute animal such as myself isn’t as exciting as one might suspect and, after my father cut their pay, they all decided to use their skills for profit while still reporting to me,” the beast explained.“It just so happens that one of their clients was recently widowed and desperately seeking bereavement of a stepdaughter as well.”</p> <p>Constance gasped. She gasped again! And then she laughed. “That cow! That conniving, twisted old cow!” she exclaimed. “So, the woman outside right now--?”</p> <p>The beast grinned in that awful toothy way of his, for he did enjoy a wicked plot. Constance was dumbfounded.</p> <p>“But... how did they get her to come here alone? And dressed in those rags?” she asked.</p> <p>“Later!” growled the beast, and then he jumped out of the window with a ferocious roar.</p> <p>But Agatha, it turned out, was not alone after all.
