Chapter 25 - Dangerous Liaisons

Noah, The Duke of Wilhelm knew he was treading on a very fine line between loyalty and absolute treachery. The man was skillful at juggling his many affairs with his friends and enemies. He was on his way to pay a visit to Lady Clara Fischer, daughter of the Duke of Bremen and Verden. They had grown up together from childhood to adulthood with King Hans, as such were very close. He had come to suspect though that she had an agenda and was right when he had overheard her conversation with her uncle who happened to be an advisor to King Theodore of Weiss. She had requested that her uncle capture and kill Lady Lystra, King Han's concubine. He had been privy to the conversation when he heard it take place in the library as he at that time had been searching for her. Ever since that day he had kept an eye out for her as he knew she raged with bitter envy, for the women that King Hans took to his chambers.
