“Oh, no.”
He nodded.
“Yeah, so to keep the scorecard up to date, Ceit was haunting the castle until we found out she was murdered, and we put her body backINSIDEthe crypt. Then, Duncan and Ciarán were haunting the castle.”
“And they’re gone?”
Not.
Quite.
“No, because Duncan had to hide his lover’s body. The church would have dragged his remains and lit them on fire because sodomy was unholy back then.”
“But fun,” Gryphen added.
She laughed.
“No comment,” she said. “There is a lot of sodomy in my world.”
Yes, yes, there was.
And there was a lot of love too.
That was what mattered.
For her, as a good Catholic, she was always torn on the gay thing—especially since it was in her marriage.
“Okay, so you haven’t found the body?”
He shook his head.
“We also found out something else.”
Elizabeth took a stab at it.
“Who betrayed Duncan and Ciarán?” she asked, fully vested in this.
Well, they had just found out.
“Catherine’s husband died, and she wanted back into the Granndach family for protection. She had just birthed a child with her husband, and she needed money. Duncan was so distraught over Ciarán’s death, he didn’t care if she came back or not.”
Elizabeth knew there had to be more.
“Okay, but did he find out who betrayed him?”
Gryphen nodded.
“Oh, and here we go.”
She lifted a brow.
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
Ian shared.
“Catherine was greedy. She saw Ciarán was dead, and it was just Duncan and Callum, his son. So, she wanted to ensure that her child was also given the wealth and title.”
She gasped.
