While Evelyn was making friends and allies in the kingdom, others were watching her closely. Its not that Evelyn was not on guard, she was. In fact she was playing along to the tune of the schemers. Even without her husband telling her about the schemes, she knew.
The servants in her quarters were great all chosen by grandfather. After the family gathering, the old man secluded himself form the family affairs and retired to his grand quarters within the castle. But everyone knew Mr. Anderson liked his granddaughter in law very much. And Evelyn cared for him as well.
On this occasion, Evelyn was called over by a few aristocratic women for tea. It was weird because she as the eldest granddaughter in law should be the one to host the tea gathering in her name and that of her husband, But today it was Matilda Anderson.
