Confessions

Nicholas sat in silence as his stomach grumbled.

He dared not move, he dared not eat anything in Edward's room. He feared that Edward might have laid out the food as a trap. That it was laced with poison in order to catch whoever tried to assassinate him.

Hours passed and Edward still had not returned.

Nicholas was tempted to go out in search of Edward and be done with it, but he knew that he had more to lose if he had to fight off more people.

Edward never went anywhere without his armed guard, he was smart enough to know that his brothers were less likely to attack him with them.

As a matter of fact, Nicholas found it quite odd that he had easily entered his brother's chambers. He was actually prepared to fight off a few servants and maybe a guard or two that his brother had left behind.

Nicholas was falling asleep, when he heard a commotion from the servant's hall.

"Shit." A young man hissed as he entered Edward's chambers and quickly lit the lamps.
