<span style="font-style: italic">Back in the mansion. The one with Sir Ashton in it.</span><br/><br/>Ashton gasped for breath, realising herself to be perfectly horizontal on her bed, fully dressed.<br/><br/>"My lord," greeted Capet, bowing with a smile.<br/><br/>She then remembered. Herself, without enough clothing, in the same room with Nathaniel, Eve and Amaya.<br/><br/>"They know," she said, despondently. "Three strangers I knew for less than 24 hours have discovered this faster than you."<br/><br/>"I can say my suspicions were roused," Capet corrected her. He seated himself on her bed, right next to her head. "When you did not make any attempt with your wife with regards to forni-"<br/><br/>Ashton gave him a stern look, which Capet returned with his trademark smile. "I don't wanna' go out. I feel violated," she said. Her tone of voice sounded like a child that received a lecture.<br/><br/>Capet smiled at his lord, standing up from her bed. "I'll see what use they'll have of me then."<br/><br/>------<br/><br/>Silas looked at Nathaniel and cocked his head. "You barged on him naked? A lord? I can't imagine the consequences."<br/><br/>Not that Nathaniel looked like he was on the end of any physical pain.
