Out in the corridor, Hudson turned and cast an accusatory glare are his wife, "You and Mara were seen in the dungeons last night, I head you were the first to hear of Colin?"
"That is right, I sent guards as soon as I was informed," Vanessa confirmed.
"But you did not inform me, the King," Hudson's tone was hard, he was looking for a reason to cast his wife aside.
"Well I wouldn't want to disturb whatever business you have with your mistress, I'd say that you were gracing her bed with your royal presence if I had to hazard a guess," Vanessa could play the role of docile wife if she wished, and she'd do that while her husband whored his way through the newest women at his court, and his beloved mistress too.
"You guess wrong. My dearest Aurelia is away in her country home. Without her, I expect to be informed of all goings-on in my court," Hudson began to walk away but stopped to call back to his wife, "I want to know what Colin has to say," and he left without a word.
Vanessa scoffed, walking in the opposite direction to her husband and King.
