My mum returned from her trip the next morning. The estate had been busier than usual, and everyone seemed more tense knowing she was home. I was in the main office when Amy came to find me. She looked calm, but her eyes told another story.

“Can we talk?” “Privately,” she added.

Something in her tone made me agree without hesitation. We went to the study, and I sent the staff away. A few minutes later, my mother joined us, she was still wearing her travel coat. She looked tired but bothered, the way she always did when something serious was about to be discussed.

Amy didn’t waste time. She placed a folded piece of paper on the desk between us. “I found this,” she said. “It’s from the council archives.”

Mrs. Carter frowned. “What is it?”

“An elder’s written confession,” Amy replied. “It explains what really happened the night you were attacked, Daniel.”

My heart gave a slow, heavy thud. I kept my expression steady. “Go on.”

Amy opened the paper and read part of it aloud. The words were simple but brutal. The elder had written about his fear of my influence, how he believed I was becoming too powerful, and how he ordered rogues to ambush me during patrol. The attack that sent me into a coma hadn’t been random, it had been planned by one of our own.

I think a part of me always knew that the attack on me was planned. It was too perfect to be random and I couldn’t prove it because all I had were fragmented memories of that day. It wasn’t enough to tell

anyone anything.

When she finished, the room went quiet. The ticking of the clock was all anyone could hear.

Mrs. Carter sat back slowly, her fingers gripping the armrest. “An elder,” she whispered. something… but not this bad.”

Amy nodded once. “He panicked when Daniel survived and covered it up. The rest of the council stayed silent.”

I looked at her. “You’re sure this is real?”

”

She met my gaze. “It’s in his handwriting. The seal matches. I checked three different documents to be certain.”

Mrs. Carter looked between us. “Who else knows?”

“Brian,” Amy said quietly. “He found me reading it. He doesn’t have the full picture yet.”

I rubbed my jaw. “So the council sat there all these years pretending to be loyal while one of them tried to have me killed”

Amy hesitated, then said, “I don’t think this is the whole truth. There’s something else. Someone else behind it.”

Mrs. Carter’s eyes narrowed. “Why do you say that?”

“Because the tone of the confession doesn’t match the rest of the elder’s writing. using the word ‘we.‘ Even when he talked about fear and guilt, it wasn’t personal. It protecting someone.”

I leaned back in my chair. “Then whoever that someone is… might still be in the council.”

Mrs. Carter didn’t answer right away. She looked out the window, then back at us. “You two will not confront anyone yet,” she said firmly. “If the council suspects that we know, they’ll move to cover their tracks. We can’t afford that.”

I didn’t like it, but I understood. “So what do we do?”

“Act normal,” she said. “At the office, in the estate, and especially around them. We can’t draw attention.”

Amy nodded. “I agree. I’ll keep working through the archives quietly. There might be more hidden records.”

I glanced at her, wondering how long she’d been digging into this without telling me. “You should’ve told me earlier.”

“I wanted proof first,” she said simply.

Mrs. Carter turned to me. “She did the right thing. You would’ve gone straight to the council, and that’s exactly what they’d expect.”

She wasn’t wrong. Patience wasn’t one of my strong points.

Amy reached for the confession again, folding it neatly. I’ll keep this with me until we know where to store it safely.”

“Keep it,” I said. “If anyone finds it here, we’ll have a bigger problem.”

Mrs. Carter nodded. “We’ll move carefully. Daniel, attend your meetings as usual. Let the council think you’re focused on business. Amy, handle public matters as normal. If they see routine, they’ll assume nothing’s changed.”

The plan made sense, but I could feel anger building under my calm exterior. Years of yalty, and this was what it came to, betrayal from within.

Amy looked at me, studying my face. “You’re quiet,” she said.

“I’m thinking about how many of them shook my hand after that attack,” I replied.

Her voice softened. “I know. But if we want justice, we can’t let emotions lead.”

Mrs. Carter stood up, signaling the end of our small meeting. “You both did well. But remember, the council isn’t foolish. The moment they sense somethings off, they’ll retaliate. Don’t give them that reason.”“

Amy and I stood up. She turned to Mrs. Carter and said “Thank you for listening. I know this isn’t easy.”

Mrs. Carter gave her a small nod. “It’s not easy for any of us, dear. But I appreciate your honesty.”

When we left the study, I walked Amy to the main hallway. It was getting dark, and the corridor was quiet except for the faint hum of the chandeliers.
