King Raff's weakness

King Raff got out of the water, completely naked and untroubled, his butler brought a robe and draped it over his body.

He stood still for a moment and pondered on Sigrid's message with cold eyes and half of a smile that was blood chilling. King Raff was unhappy because he felt like Sigrid had cornered him by forcing him to choose between his knights and his consort. 

He was not a love sick fool as some people liked to think, on the contrary, most of his decisions were always made after careful calculations. If he was not a calculating man, he would not have taken the throne, evading all the traps set out for him by his brothers. He certainly wouldn't have held on to it through all the challenges that Eldoria had faced over the years.

The smart move was to protect the red knights, they were more valuable than Rina's reputation. As long as there was no irrefutable evidence for the claims Sigrid was making, the matter could be swept under the rug.
