With this newfound strength, her next course of action dawns on her when she remembers one of the maids putting a pencil-like metal hairpin in her hair. The maid looked at her with pleading eyes as she did so, they were the eyes of someone desperately asking for Lelaine to fight back.

	The light in her golden eyes shine once more and emotion resurfaces in her previously sodden face, and right before Sturgess can get close enough to enact his desires, Lelaine grabs the sharp hairpin from her hair without him noticing, and ~~without a moment’s~~ hesitation, stabs right into Sturgess’s neck.
