Pseudo-Villaines
Second Phase
Strange rumors began to circulate. From person to person who happens to be relaxing in simple bars and stalls, seeping into the small stalls and carts in the market, and eventually becoming a hot subject in the house.
Behind the tragedy of the rioting in the city, it turns out, the nobles and wealthy merchants were involved behind it all!
Imagine, in the midst of the riots that occurred, when blood flowed on the streets and body pieces scattered everywhere, where they lived in the Northern part of the city was not affected at all!
Not a single knight came down to solve the problem at that time. There was not a rich merchant who helped the victims. They may even enjoy gold coffers as the demand for medicine increases.
They, a husband lost his wife, a parent who lost his child or a child who lost his parents, have not and will never forget the tragedy.
The situation that had initially started to calm down, had now changed. Terror over the nobles began to occur. If there was a luxurious horse carriage passing through the city streets, then the carriage would be a target for stone, wood, eggs, and others.
Not just get there. In some of the more extreme cases, when a noble was walking around, some mysterious person wearing all-black clothes directly attacked the noble with a knife!
The nobleman was not killed, but his injuries were heavy enough to have to spend a lot of money to heal him.
Not only one noble had an assassination attempt. There are less than five people. Joan Lostov, the son of Viscount Lostov, and Hansen Baldric, the successor to the Baldric family, were among the victims.
Repressive measures began to be taken. The knights began arresting anyone and torturing those suspected of terror regardless of whether or not they were involved.
The knights also started torturing the commoners randomly in public. Poor people who do not understand anything, do not engage in any action, used as spectacle material by the residents of the city.
Maybe if it was then, they would be happy with such a spectacle. However, after feeling the pain of losing, they valued each other's lives more. In the end, torture in public like this was precisely the fire of anger for them.
Not only the nobles were affected. The rich merchants were also troubled. Their sales have dropped dramatically! They do get short-term benefits when raising prices in the midst of a crisis, but the actions of the commoners who preferred to supply their needs from Charlotte because she did not raise the price made the merchants lose their customers.
The cooking did not finish there. The hired slaves were not slowed down well. They are not fed. The clothes they wear. Little time off and of course, a salary they never received.
Finally, the slaves put up a fight on their master and stole the valuables belonging to his master.
As a result, merchants are losing money. Already the profit they get is getting smaller, now they also have to face resistance from the slaves.
Amidst the tempest and crisis that was occurring, a young man noticed and observed everything. Sitting in his chair, he always got the latest news around the situation in the city.
Jean restrained her smile from appearing on her lips. The second phase of the operation, it worked.
In the first phase, Jean rioted in the city and opened up opportunities for Charlotte and HuCas as well as the White Wolf to shine.
And it was in this second phase that Jean started playing her other cards. He created a vertical conflict between nobles and wealthy merchants and commoners.
From the rumors that spread among the common people to the acts of terror that befell the nobles, it was all Jean's actions. With her large network, Jean was able to spread the rumor quickly.
So too with terror. He paid the criminals to attack the nobles and wreak havoc. When the knights of the Nobles began to act repressive, the flames of anger would be set in stone and resistance would flare up.
'Should I proceed to the next phase now?'
Saying that in her heart, Jean prepared a step to advance to the next phase.
