Every word just made Helena want to scream at him.

“She was my lover when we were younger.” He pulled a wry face. “It has been many years since I have thought of her as anything other than a good friend.”

Good friends did not magically find themselves with child. Rosalind was a poor candidate for Immaculate Conception. Helena struggled to keep from slapping her hand across his mouth to make him stop speaking. Every word he said stung more than the last. And she had actually wanted him to speak more.

Guy scowled at the water in his bath.

She was jealous. To-the-core jealous of something that had happened months before Guy had come to Lystanwold.

The reasoning did nothing to quell her anger. It would be too humiliating to admit her weakness.

She forced her legs to walk toward the bath, her face a careful blank mask. Anger yowled like a caged beast. I have no feelings for Guy. He is nothing more than an instrument of my vengeance. She grabbed for the soap and worked it savagely beneath her fingers.

He snatched the soap from her hand. “I gave my word. I cannot send her away.”

“You gave your word to me, too.” Helena wrested the soap from his grip and slapped a large dollop on his shoulder. “When you married me, you gave your word before God.”

“You are right,” he said. “But one does not replace the other.”

“I see.” Impotent fury choked her. Helena attacked the skin along his spine with vigour. Much as she relished the thought, she wouldn’t insist on casting a woman with child out into the world.

He was silent as she finished scrubbing his back. “The king comes to assure himself of my loyalty,” he stated quietly.
