The sounds of Arthur and the palace guards sighing and moaning with pleasure filled the eardrums of Sophia and Adeline.
It was like a heavy blow to the ear, a thud that reverberated. Arthur and his paramour were too engrossed in their amorous encounter to perceive anything beyond. And so, they stayed intertwined, reveling in the tranquility of their union.
All the while, Sophia had skillfully hidden these grim secrets from her sisters in the healer clan, Adeline in particular.
No, Sophia had no intention of deceiving them, especially Adeline, who had always sung praises of her marriage to Sir Arthur and his seemingly profound affection for Sophia.
Adeline frequently hailed Arthur's virtues and his steadfast commitment to Sophia.
