The temptaion is too great for Anna.

"Crystal you need to get some rest. Go to bed. I'll see to it that your guests are well entertained for the rest of the evening." Anna told Crystal after the Doctor had left.

Crystal nodded "remember sister, you may unlock any door in the castle save the door that this key opens."

"Tell me again why your not suppose to open that door?" Anna asked curiously.

"Because my Husband forbids it."

"Why?"

"He didn't explain his reasons simply that it is forbidden. Can I trust you with this key while I obey the doctor's orders to rest?" When Anna didn't reply Crystal frowned "Anna! Can I trust you with the key or not?"

"Of course you can trust me baby sister. I would never do anything to cause you grief. I promise I that I won't open your husband's forbidden room." Anna replied rolling her eyes. "I must go attend to our guests now sister. Pray do try and get some rest."

As soon as Anna has closed the door she stared down at the small key. "I know Crystal said that her husband's anger can be quite fierce but I must know what is in that room." Anna whispered to herself. With that she rushed down the corridor of the ground floor and stood before the forbidden door. "I'll just take a quick peek inside. No one will know." With that Anna turned the key into the lock and entered the room. "Hum. The floor seems extremely sticky as if it is covered in something."

At first Anna couldn't see a thing but then gradually her eyes adjusted to the darkness of the room and what she saw filled her with horror. The floor was covered in blood which was flowing from the bodies of her sister's husband's previous wives. Instantly she became terrified not for herself but for her sister.  Her sister had married a mass murderer and was now pregnant with his child.

In her shock Anna dropped the key onto the floor. After a few minutes frozen in fear Anna finally regained her composure and she picked the key up and quickly turned the lock on the door. Once this was done she sighed with relief. No one would know what she had done and truth be told he had never told her that she couldn't enter the room. Though now she wished that she could turn back time and forget the horrible sights she had come upon.

The next day Crystal was feeling better and asked Anna for the keys. Anna was hesitant to return them for she knew upon the small key was a stain of blood that refused to wash off. "Anna, I must have the keys back my husband entrusted them to me."

Anna handed her sister the keys minus the small key that opened the forbidden door in the foyer on the ground floor.

"Anna where is the golden key?"

"Is it not there with the others?"

"I wouldn't have asked you it's whereabouts if it had been. I'm only going to ask this one more time, where is the golden key?"

"I must have misplaced it. I'll search for it right away."

Unbeknownst to the two of them the beautiful white roses 🌹 that were outside the castle were turning red and Arthur was returning from his long journey. He frowned as he watched the roses turn from white to blood red. He sighed why must his brides always break their promise? "My wife, I've returned I bit thee appear." He commanded loudly.
