"Your Majesty, the Consort..." Georgina immediately stepped forward but was met with a cold glare from Lucas.
"Pregnant? How is she pregnant?" he asked, and everyone was bewildered by his words.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean? The kingdom is finally blessed with an heir," Collins replied.
"How can that be when I haven't visited the Consort in months? Did the blessings fall from the skies?" Lucas questioned, and the hall fell into silence.
The heavy doors opened again, drawing everyone's attention as Robert stepped into the hall, dragging Missy behind him.
Georgina and Collins recognized her immediately.
She was a servant in the Windsor household before entering the palace with Eleanor.
"Speak!" Lucas ordered.
Missy collapsed to the floor before him, her body battered with whip marks.
Slowly, she recounted Eleanor's affair with Cole.
"What nonsense?" Collins roared, his blood boiling, but his wife suddenly fainted.
