Edmund enters the suite and greets them. Richard tells Cassie he has business and asks if she will be alright. He leaves. Cassie asks Ed if he has ever seen Richard this unhappy. She says that since they got married, all they have wanted to do is have children. Someone made them think they couldn't, and then when she was obviously pregnant, someone made Richard think she betrayed him. She says, it takes a special person to do this kind of deception and asks if he did it. Edmund denies it and tells Cassie that he had been thinking and thinks someone is trying to get back at him by making him look guilty to Richard. Cassie is blown away. She asks Ed to repeat what he said. Ed says a palace insider could do this to make Richard suspect Edmund. Cassie says she is pregnant with a baby Richard didn't think was his but some palace insider is trying to make Ed look bad.
