The morning sun streamed through my window, filling my room with a golden glow. I stretched and rose from bed, feeling a mix of determination and apprehension. Today, I would tackle another council member's request. After my success with Lady Evangeline, I felt more confident, but I knew the path ahead was still fraught with challenges.
I got ready quickly, pulling on a practical yet elegant dress that allowed for movement without sacrificing appearance. After a light breakfast, I reviewed my notes and prepared myself mentally for the next task. Today, I would be addressing Council Member Lord Branford, known for his strict adherence to tradition and his demanding nature.
Arriving at Lord Branford's chambers, I knocked on the door and waited. The door opened to reveal Lord Branford himself, his eyes narrowing as he saw me.
