Chapter 327: Violet: Messy Business

Violet had to send maids back into the Thierre's guest bedchamber to strip the bed and dispose of the ruined bedclothes. One of them would have also have the thankless task of scrubbing the blood from the rug.

She knew, she just knew that the minute the maids came back out of the room, word of Sancia's miscarriage would soon be spreading through every corner of the palace like a wildfire. The maids wouldn't be able to help themselves, no matter how much she ordered them to keep their mouths shut. Such scandalous news about the second lady in the land's unmarried sister would always be delicious gossip. And once word reached the king and queen…

They would celebrate. Not publicly, of course. But privately, they'd rejoice at narrowly avoiding having to accept another Thierre girl with her non existent dowry into the royal family.
