Chapter 76

• My father was lying in the sick bed for days, still recovering. His treatments were made confidential while none of the council of elders knew about it.
• My mother and Beta Harold the third, my father's close friend and subordinate, were insistent on it. Apparently, that was what my father had instructed.
• That morning, I was just getting out of bed and trying to get myself together. It was one out of the few days of waking up feeling guilty and sorrowful. I was feeling quite better that morning but not fully.
