Chapter 19: Shadows of Betrayal

"You seek the truth," she spoke in a hushed tone, her voice laced with a hint of danger. "But be warned, the path you tread is treacherous. The traitor you seek is closer than you think, and their reach extends further than you can imagine."

Evangeline's heart skipped a beat, a mix of anticipation and apprehension coursing through her veins. She leaned forward, her voice barely above a whisper. "Tell us what you know. Help us expose the traitor and dismantle the secret society once and for all."

The mysterious woman's lips curved into a cryptic smile. "There is a hidden room in the palace, concealed behind an ornate tapestry in the east wing. It is there that you will find the evidence you seek—the undeniable proof of the traitor's identity."

Evangeline, Adelaide, and Prince Alexander exchanged glances, a silent agreement passing between them. They had to uncover the truth, no matter the risks involved.
