As Ursula delves into the investigation, she uncovers a tangled tapestry of motives and suspects. Lord Edmund, a prominent member of the royal court, had enemies both within and outside. His ambitious brother, eager to seize power, becomes a prime suspect.

In a climactic confrontation that tests the limits of her courage, Ursula unmasks the culprit. The motive, long hidden, is revealed, shocking the court and exposing the dark underbelly of ambition.
