After Charlton talked to his parents and told them about what happened in the house of lords, his mother almost fainted. Chances were, tomorrow his father would be accused of treason and would soon be facing trial. It was a heavy charge punishable by death.
They discussed which document could be possibly used against his father, but his father could not think of any. They tried to talk how to resolve it but came up with nothing as they did not even know where to start. In the end, his father reassured them that everything would be fine.
The talk, food, and shower has been good for Charlton. He was brought out of the muddle headedness he has been experiencing.
As he returned to his room and lied on his bed, his mind again drifted back to Serena and what happened. Unlike the last 3 days, he tried to think objectively. He thought of their conversation from the start and not just focusing on her cheating on him. Just in case he missed something.
