Chapter 208: A scandal worthy of shaking a kingdom.
As the queen planned, one of her maids returned to the dining room and informed Roland that the queen needed
to see him.
"Is there bad news?" Elarin blurted out. "The queen had had a headache all day, she has gone to summon a
doctor and now she is summoning Roland." She put a hand on the king's arm and looked at him through
genuinely worried eyes. "Raffi, we should go and check on her. My aunt went to bed with a headache and the
following morning, she was found dead." Elarin stood up and looked at the maid. "Lead the way, hurry."
This maid was not one of Sigrid’s people and she becuneasy as soon as Elarin asked her to lead the way to
the queen’s chambers.
"l...the queen asked for the crown prince only." she started off stammering and finished with a whisper.
Roland stood up but the king slapped the table in anger. "How dare you!" He glared at the maid. "As a servant
girl who gave you the right to talk about to my second queen and disobey her orders?"
The maid fell to her knees in fright.
"Take her out to be punished and dismiss her." King Raff ordered. He stood up and took Elarin’s hand. "Let's go
and see what ails the queen so much that only the crown prince can heal her?"
Sigrid slipped her arm through Roland’s and they followed. Galen could not stay behind, he was also the queen’s
son. Everyone at the table found it difficult to continue eating and the entire group made their way to the private
chambers of the queen.
The king's knights stopped Queen Maurelia’s knights from announcing his arrival. Quickly, the king noticed the
fidgety looks on the faces of the servants and knights but he said nothing.
As they approached her private bedroom, ssounds started to becclearer. It sounded like moaning and
heavy breathing which all the adults were familiar with.
"Is that coming from the queen’s bedroom, isn’t...isn’t she supposed to be seeing a doctor?" Elarin gasped and
covered her mouth.
King Raff stopped all movement, his brow furrowed. As the sounds grew wilder, curiosity, tinged with unease
propelled him forward.
A red knight pushed the doors open and the sight that met everyone's eyes had them gasping or covering their
eyes. There, amidst the silk sheets, tangled on the bed were three people that were naked. One was the queen
of Eldoria Maurelia De-Kensington, the other was a red knight who was devoid of all clothes but his red cloak and

King Raff roared like a an angry lion.
Alistair who was invisible put out the incense while Sigrid secretly muttered a spell for the fog to be lifted and the
minds of the three people caught in bed to be cleared.
The king was already unsheathing a sword and judging by the murderous look in his eyes, he was about to
murder three people.
"My king, calm yourself, you cannot kill the queen." Elarin tried to stop him, pulling him back.
Meanwhile, the queen and her companions froze, none of them could seem to recall how they had got to where
they were but there was no denying what they had been doing. The queen scrambled to cover her nakedness
with a sheet. The red knight dropped off the bed and fell to his knees while Orena’s face paled and she remained
immobile.
"How..you...." Queen Maurelia had no idea where to start. "I don’t know what happened, I...."
Roland covered his eyes and Galen punched a wall.
"Mother, have you lost your mind?" Galen bellowed. "Not only are you having an affair but you are...." He
groaned and walked away because he could not stomach looking at the three people anymore.
Roland turned his back too and he left, his silence spoke volumes. Sigrid chose to stay, she had to see what she
had started to the end.

Naturally, it would fall on him and no man could take Emmah away from him...especially not Prince Firron.
