章節 196: Acting as Bait

Well, at least he now knew why Camilla was angry at him, William thought, as he watched his wife step into the corridor.

She acted like he wasn't there at all, linking arms with her ladies who were waiting for her and walking towards dinner with them. He had no choice but to skulk behind them all.

The ladies-in-waiting all turned back and stared at him during the walk to the banquet hall. Lady Katerine looked confused, Lady Taunsen simply nodded knowingly. Lady Meg gave William the most infuriating grin.

"Is there a problem, Lady Meg?" he growled, unable to bite his tongue any longer.

"Not at all, Your Grace!" Meg sang out in reply. "I'm in the highest of spirits tonight, thank you so much for asking. And yourself?"

William refused to reply.
