A little scam idea

 They had to wait till a night Cedric wasn't in to leave; for an odd reason, Abrielle felt Zoltana was hiding something from her, but she didn't pry much. She was going to give her evidence of doubt since the system trusts Zoltana. 

 Later that day Abrielle spent her time at the study trying to go through the monthly reports. Her main goal was to find a way to siphon funds in a way Lucas and Cedric would not be informed of. More like a little scam plot. 

 Cedric didn't still go to the palace, it felt like he was trying to defy someone. Abrielle was seated on a small desk different from the main desk meant for Cedric; conveniently, there was a window by the desk that made it easier for her to get able to take sneak peeks outside.
