The king looked around the decent sized village with a narrowed gaze. He had two knights with him for safety. He was looking for someone.

Apparently, according to maids and other servants, he had gotten drunk at a banquet he hosted and ended up sleeping with a lady. One of the maids had spotted the lady with a baby bump a month later. Leading him to believe that this lady was pregnant with his child.

He took notice of how tense the village people were.
