Sairis's POV
Sairis felt the air leave him completely.
She had known. Lady Taal had walked into that room already knowing. She had looked at him the moment she entered, that brief, knowing glance down at his midsection, and she had known before a single word had been spoken.
He had a feeling that she had known he was pregnant before she even entered the palace.
He turned it over quickly in his mind. Candice had not known about the pregnancy. Candice had not even known that Sairis was aware of it himself. So it had not come from her. Which left one person. Henrietta.
She had disappeared from the palace with the letter he had written for Loreen, the one Sairis had pressed into her hands that morning with instructions to deliver it directly and only to the prince. And there was no way she knew he was pregnant, except…
Henrietta had read it. And then she had taken it to Lady Taal.
He looked at Lady Taal directly. "Where is Henrietta," he asked. "Is she with you?"
