That night, the dinner banquet continued into the small hours. King Kenneth was known as a prolific drinker and insisted the Devon princes keep him company after most other guests had retired.

William had the foresight to slip a coin to one of the servants to ensure at least some of the wine served to him, had been watered down. Rufus, however, foolishly tried to match the king drink for drink, only to find himself horrendously ill after midnight and vomiting in a corner of the hall. Kenneth laughed uproariously at the sight.

William hadn't been able to walk Camilla back to her apartments but had at least managed to send a message via Meg Vere. He'd warned Camilla to remain vigilant and lock her chamber doors at all times. Sensing Kenneth's near constant watch on him, there hadn't been time to whisper more to Meg.
