The betrayal of the Margraves had Lord Parker up in arms with pitchforks and torches.
So much so that the man was ready to go on a witch hunt the minute he learned that Achillas had been taken away in a Margrave's flagship.
And that was considered more than enough evidence for him. Thus refusing to listen to anything more, he immediately ordered all those Margraves officers involved to be immediately seized and then await imminent execution.
And the directive was so encompassing that not only did it include the injured Lord Bernard and others similarly wounded in battle, but even his wife Miss Linda, as well as her sister and Achillas's wife Lady Adele were implicated.
The pair had been nonchalantly chatting about nothing in particular when out of the blue they found themselves being yanked out of their tents in the most rude manner possible and being escorted to a remote part of the camp under the presence of a very heavy guard.
