The next day, Adam was at the training camp completing the system's daily mission. He hadn't slept well.
The image of Alfred kept coming back to him.
He had been a traitor even before Adam was born… and yet, for years, he had been one of the pillars of the House of Hall. Now Adam knew the truth: Alfred had been working for Kamelot from the very beginning.
That discovery raised a much bigger problem.
How could he—the heir to a mere barony—stand up to a count who had been consolidating his power for years?
Adam knew what the future held, but he couldn't openly act on that knowledge. If he began to act too precisely or revealed things he shouldn't know, he would arouse suspicion… and that would be tantamount to courting his own death.
He would have to justify every step.
Every decision.
And he'd rather avoid all those annoying questions.
He finished the last rep of his workout just as the system responded.
