Title: Amuck Rating: PG-13 Wordcount: 183 Pairing: Jon/Kel Round: 3/A Summary: Things twist and go awry for Kel
-
Her face is in her hands, and the sloped line of her shoulders displays more emotion than any tears could.
"You didn't do anything," Dom says, crouching down beside Kel. "They can't vilify you for this, there's no fact behind the allegations--"
"It just plays into what their perception of me already is, some-- some whore that slept her way through the King's Own and the palace to get her knighthood," Kel hisses bitterly, eyes condemning. "It doesn't even matter if it's true."
"You've barely even been alone with the king in years--"
"I know, but with what's happened with the Queen, and her affair with Evin Larse, the image of the royals has been shattered. I suppose I'm to blame now, not an unhappy marriage."
Dom places a reassuring hand on Kel's hunched back. "We'll support you, you know. Neal and I, all your friends, and you've made some very powerful friends at court. We know you would never have an affair with King Jonathan. You're not that type of person."
"I'm not," she says decisively. "And the king knows it too."
