Setting down his quill pen, he pinched the bridge of his nose, for he suspected that Larena had not been found. It had been three days since her unexplained disappearance, and every night, a battalion of soldiers returned to the castle with no news of her. It was becoming increasingly vexing. If Gregory didn’t find her soon, he might go mad. And it was not simply jealousy that rankled him—although that was more than half of it. There was also the additional problem of reporting these awkward circumstances to his father, who was not a forgiving man by nature. Gregory had already sent word to him that Fitzroy Campbell had escaped from a locked prison cell while under Gregory’s command, and had died shortly thereafter in an alleged knife fight. His father would not be pleased. Evidently, elaborate plans had been made for the Scottish laird’s arrival at the Tolbooth in Edinburgh. Fitzroy was to be used as an example for other traitorous rebels in Scotland, and it was intended to be a gruesome and memorable spectacle for the people of Scotland.
