The first morning was chaotic. The news spread faster like a wildfire, sending terror to everyone. Some noble head clans had made a scene in the Capital's plaza and encouraged the people for unity. But alas, only a few had the courage to go to the palace and come face to face with those 'rebels' who turned the place upside down.
The outside of the palace was almost similar on the inside.
Rufus and the Duke's knighthood brigade seized the palace. Some royal knights devoted to the king resisted but were subdued and thrown into the dungeon cell. Others chose death for failing to protect their king.
It was chaotic and it didn't settle down even after a week.
Yes. It had been a week since the tragic incident, but the only thing that changed was the bodies weren't inside the palace anymore. They were outside, waiting for their turn to get transported to a certain land where they would get buried.
