Coward and scheme

"How is the training going," king Roderick asked his sons as they walked into his court. He refused to think about General Thompson's betrayal. To be honest the king had a miss feeling about everything.

He doubted that General Thompson would think of something like that by himself. He also felt that the Queen could have set the General up. He had learned years ago that the woman deliberately schemed her way into his Palace. 

King Roderick could never guess the real reason why the Queen has offered herself up for him. He believes that the woman was selfish and in desperate need of power and wealth. 

He commended her in his heart for seeking out the biggest fish in the river. Well, he did not hate her because he fell for her scheme. After all, he had nothing to lose in all of it.
