Darien gave the women a friendly smile and a nod, indicating two chairs in front of his desk. "Please, sit. Is there anything you would like to drink? I have wine and water to offer."

Darien nodded again, before sending the guards out of the room. "Now, I've heard that you believe you are being watched? Followed? What leads you to this conclusion?" He asked in a pleasant but inquiring voice.

"Milord, I used to work for a Lady... a Lady Hogg." She paused wringing her hands, "Have you heard of her?"

Darien thought for a moment. "I can't say I am fortunate enough to have heard of her. It has to do with her?"

"I used to serve her milord." She quivered, "I birthed both of her Children."

"Years ago, Lady Hogg was murdered... by her husband." She breathed in deeply, "And he knows I know. I think"

Darien frowned. "Who was her husband, and how did you know it was him who murdered her?"

"Lord Hogg, he lives here in Kings Landing. He has been a courtier for ever." She whispered, "I have never had evidence, but every one knew. The Lord and Lady were not even leaving in the same manor when she was murdered."

A look of distress was now on Darien's face. "That is horrible. Was there any reason for him to want to murder his own wife?"

She nodded, "A horrible secret, that Lady Hogg kept for a powerful person."
