Chapter 73 The Hidden Threat

• The discovery hit me like a punch to the chest. One of my closest allies, an informant I’d trusted with the most sensitive details of my strategy, had unearthed a plot—a dark, twisted plan meant to end my life. It wasn’t some vague threat or whispered rumor; it was an organized attempt to silence me, to rip away everything I had fought to protect. And the worst part? It was planned from within the court itself.
• The revelation had come to me in the dead of night. A hastily scrawled note, delivered by hand, directly into mine. The writing was barely legible, smudged in places, as if the messenger had been on the run, or worse, in fear of being discovered.
• "Amelia," the note had started, "the court plans to end your life. Watch the shadows; they hide more than gossip and judgment. They hide death."
