"What about questioning the new marchioness and finding out what she knows?" King Edward finally asked, after an awkward pause. "She won't be allowed to return to her father's home until she tells us everything."
William quickly shook his head. "You'll still have the same problem of the word of a foreign woman against that of an Islian man, Sire. And even if women did have the same legal standing as men here, why would any woman go against her husband's word? It would ruin everything she's gained from her marriage."
"Sarai won't lift a finger to help us. Especially if she knows it's to collaborate what I've said." Camilla agreed.
The barest hint of a smile crossed the king's face. "I suppose not. There's truly no love lost between the two of you ladies, is there?"
"Her and I have never gotten along, Your Majesty." Camilla said diplomatically. She sighed and rolled her eyes when William gave a funny sounding little cough at her side.
