Victor was summoned immediately, along with the rest of the inner council.
"Your Majesties, I was told this was urgent. What happened?" Lord Cedric asked.
Azrael stood at the centre of the room with Lyanna at his side. The table was covered with Sienna's documents.
"Lady Sienna has made a serious accusation." Azrael said. "She claims there's a traitor in our inner council. Someone who has been leaking information to the Crimson Cross."
The room erupted in shocked murmurs.
"A traitor? Among us? That's impossible!" Cedric said.
"Is it?" Sienna stepped forward. "I know this is shocking, Lord Cedric. I was shocked too when I discovered the evidence. But facts are facts."
"What evidence? What are you talking about?"
"These documents." Victor said, pointing at the documents on the table. "They contain information about Thornfield's defensive capabilities, the king and queen's daily schedule, and transcripts of private council meetings."
