Mariah frowned. She took a deep breath to calm herself. It was no use lying to the king, so she began, "There's a young knight of Alnwick. A little bird told me that he and the princess were serious, and great lengths would he go to to prevent the marriage of our son to Princess Gwen. So, I, seeing how Sir Edmund was in the princess's trust but was in need of, well, financial help, sent him a note. He should be with her in *some town's name* with the knight right now," Mariah explained. However, she didn't see necessary to add that she signed the note with Audric's seal. As little her husband knew, the better."Tell me." Audric said angrily.
"Thank you." Gwen said tiredly. "You may be dismissed."

Fawn locked her door behind her. She unlocked the drawer of a small chest with a key that hung on a string round her neck.
