The Whole Damn Family is Villainous

Summary

We were a family of villains, the kind that exists only to do evil, racking up a body count to make the heroes shine all the brighter.

In the end, our pre-written fate was to be left for dead on the streets, objects of public scorn.

My father was the corrupt Lord Treasurer, having siphoned off half the kingdom's treasury. The King had been eyeing his head for a long time. My mother, a ruthless woman from a lesser noble house, had clawed her way into her marriage over a few dead bodies.
