The King's Summon was never a good news, especially not when the potentiality of a wrong made directly or indirectly laid in the past.
Gwen had been summoned by the King, she knew the implication and her cold heart was heavy with an impending grief.
Lost of herself most likely, she had every intention to give herself away to protect her family if it came to that. Too bad, her Mistress wouldn't know that she had died for her crimes. She thought she was protecting her but truly her Mistress had only just put her in harm's way.
She understood her reaction though, for someone who had lost everything, she was questing for something else to protect and she had picked her.
If only she knew that the 'protection' was no protection at all but a threat to her soul and the souls of her entire family.
