章 33: Receiving the Report and some Tension

April 12th, 1881 – Fitzwilliam Estate

The afternoon sun bathed the Fitzwilliam estate in a soft, golden glow, casting long shadows across the neatly trimmed lawns and gardens that surrounded the sprawling manor. A gentle breeze rustled the leaves of the oak trees lining the cobblestone path, creating a serene atmosphere that spoke of wealth and tranquility.

Amber Fitzwilliam was in the courtyard, tending to her favorite rose bushes. Dressed in a modest yet elegant gown of pale blue, the fabric hugged her form in just the right places, accentuating her natural grace and beauty. The dress was simple enough for casual wear, yet refined enough to reflect her family's status. Her golden hair was tied back with a silk ribbon, keeping it from her face as she worked.
