It’s been a stressful month packed with Elass‘ betrayal and trying to find ways to pin him down with undeniable evidence. He was good at covering his footsteps but I believe that he would eventually slip. I woke up feeling positive minded and hoped for a good day.

I have been watching how closely Amy and Daniel worked together and it warmed my heart to see the both of them get along so well. They try to hide their feelings but it was more obvious than they thought.

Daniel had fallen completely for Amy but I could tell that Amy was still trying to protect he: If and denying her feelings. Sooner than later, she would eventually give in.

By evening, I asked both of them to meet me in the study. The long table was covered wit documents, and handwritten notes. When they walked in, they took their usual seats. Dari Amy across from me. They looked tired but determined.

“We’ve gathered enough evidence to prove Elias’s involvement in your attack,” I said, opening one of the folders. “But revealing it won’t be simple. The council will demand explanations we can’t give openly.”

Daniel leaned back slightly, his expression calm. “So what’s the plan?”

“We’ll need to control the timing,” I said. “If we confront him too soon, he’ll bury his connections before the council even calls for a hearing.”

Amy nodded slowly. “Then we need to build a narrative that makes them investigate him first.”

Exactly what I wanted to hear. I’d grown to respect that girl’s mind. She didn’t talk much, but when she did, she got straight to the point. No posturing, no emotion, just logic.

“I’ve already begun drafting a report highlighting discrepancies in the council’s financial records,” I continued. “But there’s another issue. Someone’s been leaking information.”

They both looked up immediately.

Daniel frowned. “Leaking from where?”

“From here,” I said. “From this house.”

Amy sat forward slightly. “You think it’s one of the staff?”

“I do,” I replied. “Small details, nothing major, but enough to make me suspicious. A council clerk hib about documents only discussed in this study. That means someone here repeated it.”

Daniel’s jaw tightened. “You have someone in mind?”

I hesitated. “I’m not sure yet. But I’ve started watching. There’s been unusual activity in the servants‘ quarters like messages being sent out late at night.”

Amy was quiet for a moment, thinking. “We can cross–check who had access to which records. I’ll create a list of everyone who’s handled any of our correspondence in the last month.”

I nodded. “Good. Discretion is key. We’ll handle this internally. If Elias has someone on payroll here, we’ll find out before they find out about us.”

We began sorting the folders, dividing the work between us. Amy would focus on correspondence and financial data. Daniel would review the trade ledgers again for hidden accounts.

I would handle the council–facing reports, crafting the official version of events that would force Elias’s allies into silence before he could defend himself.

Hours passed that way. The sound of turning pages and scribbling pens filled the room. Occasionally, one of them would speak.

When Daniel reached for another file, Amy slid it toward him before he even asked. They wo people who understood each other without words.

He was still the same strong man I used to know but Amy had softened the edges that power had carved into him. He listened more now. He smiled more too.

“Mother,” Daniel said, pulling me out of my thoughts. “We found a transaction that doesn’t match the others.”

Amy leaned over to point at the document. “This one was disguised as a trade payment, but the account it went to is inactive. The address traces back to one of Elias’s shell companies.”

That’s

“Good,” I said, leaning in. exactly the kind of evidence we need to corner him. But we keep this between us for now.”

Daniel nodded. “Understood.”

Amy’s expression was calm, but her eyes were at alert, always searching for the next move. I could see why Daniel trusted her.

When the clock struck ten, I closed my notebook. “That’s enough for tonight,” I said. “You both should get some rest.”

Daniel stayed seated, still scanning one of the reports. Amy began gathering the loose papers, stacking them neatly. As she reached across the table, her hand brushed his. They both paused just for a second before continuing as though nothing happened.

I pretended not to notice.
