"You're enough, you're enough, you're enough, you are enough
These little words, somehow they're changing us.
You're enough, you're enough, you are enough
So we let our shadows fall away like dust"

Sleeping at last - You are enough.

Two hours earlier




Sat around the large oak table the war council meeting was well under way. Once everyone was informed that sir Arnold had collected a great amount of information whilst infiltrating the enemy camp on Edwards order. Each and every lord and supporter of Edward were shaking with anticipation.





Every single man in this room knew that the king would not leave as the same as he first entered.





"My lords please sit." Edward took his seat at the end of table he motioned the lords to take their seats.



"Today we will skip the pleasantries and we must discuss the current situation. As you know sir Arnold here has gathered great amount of intelligence for us with no thought to himself she risked his life to find out who is behind this rebels nest."



Edward used his hand to point out Arnold in praise.




"Sir Arnold can you tell us everything that you found out during your time in the enemies camp?" Edward directs his gaze to the knight reading himself for all that was to come.



"I can confirm by sight your grace that the leaders of the rebel forces are the Lord Warwick and the duke of Clarence. They both addressed the army with a very prolonged speech which went against your legitimacy and in turn the legitimacy of the princes Edmund, Edward and Henry."

Sir Arnold was wary, making eye contact with the king he silently asked for permission to continue.




Edward knew that he couldn't throw a fit of rage for he would be no better than the family which was now betraying him.



So instead he clenched his jaw and bawled his fists as tightly as he could, keeping his calm he bowed his head signally Arnold to continue.




Licking his lips from nerves the knight continued to tell the king and council of every plan he heard the enemy conjuring.




After a good few hours had passed the eyes of all sitting in the room turned to the king.


After many suggestions of how to deal with the traitors were given Edward remained seated and betrayed.
