The Cheaters Charge. Some things you should never forget: This is one of them, thou shall not commit adultery.

In the land of Alagesia on a beautiful summer day, two people swore their oath of fealty to each other in marriage. Their marriage prospered for three years until…

…”Why? Pray tell me why you decided to cheat on me? What have I done to wrong you? Why?”

…well as you can gather Mercedes had been cheating on her husband, Kaleb, with his brother, Cameron who happened to be a lord. Now, Mercedes was a devious, but beautiful woman and told Cameron, a tall dark haired man, that Kaleb had been cheating on her before she had begun to cheat. After hearing this, Cameron called Kaleb to have a talk with him. Cameron said, “Had you been cheating on your wife prior to your finding out that she had been cheating?” “No, my lord, Cameron you know me better than that and although we were raised in a Christian community obviously you pay no heed to the lessons we were taught.” After Kaleb had said, this Cameron spoke “Although you probably tell the truth I must side with my lover, and ask you to leave this land and never return.” Kaleb said, “As you wish my dear brother, since there is one person who knows the truth may He send his judgement and let everyone I know, know the truth.” And Kaleb left.

“I wonder what that fool, Kaleb, was talking about, do you know Mercedes?” “No, I can’t say that I know.”

However, later that night Cameron and Mercedes would find out.

That night an angel of the Lord appeared to Mercedes and said, “You know the truth; you lied and committed adultery, for that you and the one you love will be punished.” And the angel vanished.

…As Kaleb slept the same angel appeared to him and said “go back to Alagesia and you will be welcomed with glad tiding for all the people now know you are truthful.” So he went back and found Cameron and Mercedes lying on the bed with death circling over them. And so being the only living heir of Cameron, Kaleb, took over the land of Alagesia and became the lord and he said “My dear Mercedes you should have remembered the commandment ‘thou shall not commit adultery.’”
