She who came from the past

When people saw the King they all quickly dispersed and everyone got busy with their duties. Razhal did not speak to either of them, but Ygrette understood his silence. But Verona noticed that his lack of response may have been tied to something else, to her he seemed to be in quite an elated mood.

He had just been back after concluding the ceremony but while being escorted back into the building she had overheard the guards speaking about the King leaving the forest in trail of someone hiding within the outer courtyard.

When she remembered this her heart skipped a beat. How much does he know about her meeting with those men? And if he already knows, then why has he not confronted her yet?

At least that would have been logical, but at the thought of where her mind was going she smiled inwardly at her foolishness. What exactly about the King was logical or even normal? She was sure he was only up to another trick of his, a usual game of cat and mouse.
