"Why?"
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Caius asked, his displeasure showing.
"I am simply wondering why," Rylen whispered.
Caius turned his gaze away. "Why would I know what that crazy woman is thinking?"
"Your Grace, I don't think it's right to speak about your mother in that manner."
"Hmm," Caius said and looked out the window. "You asked why. She wants me to find Rose's replacement." He turned back to look at Rylen, his brown eyes glinting.
"So you do know why?" His brows furrowed. "The issue has bothered Her Majesty enough to throw a ball," he paused, his gaze piercing as he stared at Caius.
Caius scoffed. "Sounds like an excuse to get on my nerves."
