Collapse of a plan

Enrick was breathing heavily as he continued to listen to the murmurs and complaints of the other council members. He could feel a headache as he rubbed his head. Their plan had failed and now they were faced with some maniac who was going around killing council members.

He too had the feeling that it was Duke Galahad who sent that person to assassinate them. As for the question of who, he had no other clue. The way the others were killed was too brutal for it to be one of his sentinels. He might have sent that heir of his but it was unlikely because the job was done by a professional.

The man tightly shut his eyes because he had a lot to think about. Not only was he thinking about the killings but also because of that person's disappointment in him. He could still clearly hear that person's voice in his ear and the words she said.
