Saesha gave a low, slow laugh and pulled him back towards the bed, "I think we both deserve it"

Belric's eyes lit up as he fell into the sheets, his arms wrapping around Saesha. He kissed her her tenderly, his touch becoming gentle as his patrernal instincts took hold...

/////////////// After getting the measurements, Saesha went to her bedroom to see if anything looked not to match it.

She made her paces of the room, comparing them to the dimensions of the room below. It was as wide as the solar, but not quite as long, the wall shortened on the wall across from the bed she shared with her lord husband. There was a fireplace on that wall and a lack of supports despite the fact it should have been a load bearing wall.

She went to the wall there, and looked for anything that could open a false wall.

She some filigree on the side of the fireplace that she can slide aside, revealing a small keyhole beneath.

Saesha frowned, time to pay her sister by law a visit.

She returned after prising the key from Violet's soon to be cold dead fingers. Or at least they would have been if she'd resisted for much longer.
She did not return to the bedroom straight away, in case the little snot had followed her.
She then tried to put the key in the lock and tried to open the door.

There was a click followed by a grinding as the back of the fireplace wall turned to ominously reveal a secret passage.

There are only a couple steps before the room opens up, a space about the size of the small dining room in her solar. Her leg bumps into a small writing desk and as she lifts the torch up, thousands of eyes stare back at her in the darkness, the light reflected in them.

Saesha jumped as the eyes were illuminated and ducked on instinct. Glad no one was around to see it. looks at the eyes and tries to see for a second what they might belong to. Maybe Bats?

As she looked closer she could see that they were dolls, hundreds of them sitting upon shelves that lined the walls, like books on a bookcase. They were bique dolls, made of a mix of porcelain from the far east and local clay, glass eyes set in their sockets, painted expertly to give the illusion of the spark of life. They had been painted lovingly in many layers to give the flesh a lifelike shade and dressed in elaborate outfits, with sigils on some that Saesha recognized.

She felt uncomfortable looking at the dolls. They were very creepy. She picked one up abd looked closer at one with a sigil she recognised.

As she stepped forward to grab one of the dolls, something crunched under her foot. There were unlit torches in brackets along the walls that would provide more light and allow her a better look at her dim surroundings.
