Something was different about the atmosphere in the castle. It was nae something that one could lay a finger on easily, but it was felt by all. People seemed subdued yet there was nae a mourning flag hung out that could account for the strange quiet. Surprising perhaps the most fervent whispers were nae found in the kitchen, but in the guard quarters. Whenever Sergeant Lan was nae on duty, he was besieged by questions. Was it true? Had the queen be locked up with a man? Had there been a threat of war? Was that what had the little queen so quiet? What did the scantily clad Amazon queen have to do with it? Was that why Lord Caius Vermillius had been here?
Yet if so.. why had the queen nae called together the councellors and anounced the news? She had called for her brother, hadn't she? And what had Kyle to do with it? And the man in the dungeons?
The men had a thousand questions, more so than those of the kitchen, because they had a little more of the facts. And the facts were disquieting in themselves. Lan however, refused to speak of the Queen's business. He had seen and heard more than most, and the fact that he too seemed uneasy was what unsettled the guards even more.
