I didn't get a good night's sleep that night.
I couldn't stop thinking of Lucian's words from earlier.
Adrian will be the first to fall before Clara.
Maybe he was right.
However, it did not matter if I still didn't know the truth.
All the roads led back to the same place.
The child.
The missing evidence.
The hospital records.
And all that Lucian wouldn't tell me.
I was at the side of my bed, gazing at the candle that burned low by the window.
The fortress was now silent. All but patrol guards were fast asleep in their beds; most warriors had fallen asleep for the night.
Perfect timing.
Now it was the time to go back to Lucian's private study.
I walked slowly and wrapped a black cloak about me.
This was a risky thing for me to do.
If Lucian had seen me go through his records
