Kiara wished to throw her plate at Henry's head for speaking of this now. She heard the same rumours but ignored them since her father wasn't a stranger to giving them illegitimate siblings.

"That's not possible. All your siblings near your age have been in the palace. Some became too sick to see many winters. Stop listening to rumours which will only make your mother angry with me. I will hang who repeas these rumours," James said, lucky that Lilian was leaving or she would not let him rest.

"Is it just rumours?" Lilian asked. "I have witnessed you claim it to be a lie and then introduce a child I must find room for in the palace. I have lost count of how many bastards you have now."

"Mother," Kiara spoke up, finding this out of line for her mother.
