Eleanor exhaled when she saw it was Missy who was standing at the threshold with her head bowed in fear.
"P-Pardon me, Your Highness, but... the King… the King is visiting Lady Catherine's chambers tonight." she reported, knowing how much importance Eleanor attained to such news.
The room goes deathly still.
Eleanor's blood turned to ice. She rises slowly from the bed, clutching a nearby shawl to cover herself.
"What?" she snapped, eyes wide with fury.
"I heard it directly from one of our people in the King's palace," Missy explained quickly, trembling.
"He should be arriving any moment now."
Eleanor's breathing quickens.
"Are you sure?" she hissed.
Missy nodded.
"Very certain"
Eleanor turned on Cole with venom.
"Get away from me!" she shouted, shoving his reaching hand aside.
Cole stumbled back, confused and naked, grabbing the duvet to shield himself.
