As for Morroc's wives, they brutally refused to give any guards to him.
He already had 6/10th of the knights under his control, so why was he so greedy?
They packed their stuff and decided to slip out as well.
It was better to hide somewhere in the city and later send spies to check the situation.
They weren't fools!
From the moment they heard that their husband sent people to ready all horses and carriages, pack his belongings, as well as carry some things away from the treasury, they instantly knew that this bastard thought of leaving them behind for whatever enemy was coming.
Since he didn't think of them, then there was no reason why they should give two-Fs about them.
Everyone was on their own.
As for love?
Who did they love most, if not their children?
They made their decision to leave the man who abandoned them now and flee with their families.
