The next morning, I woke up feeling a renewed sense of energy. The sun was just beginning to rise, casting a soft glow through my curtains. I stretched, feeling a sense of purpose as I got out of bed. Today was the day I would begin earning the council members' support.
After getting dressed and eating a hearty breakfast, I reviewed my notes and prepared for my first task. Council Member Lord Reynard had been the most vocal opponent of my proposal. Winning him over would be a significant victory.
As I walked through the castle halls towards his chambers, I couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. Lord Reynard was known for his strict standards and high expectations. Convincing him was going to be no easy feat. I took a deep breath and knocked on his door.
"Enter," came the gruff voice from within.
