Without hesitation, Alexis took this chance to talk about the suspiciousness of the mastermind behind this incident and that if things progressed normally, the contracted commoners would only suffer.
He also talked about how the commoners clearly lacked a leader and were currently just acting on the momentum of their group strength. Sooner or later, they will go hungry and dissipate.
Some of the nobles nodded in agreement, recognizing the possibility of hidden intents behind this rebellion.

They were the most pitiable group of people in the Sovereignty and aside from there being a large number of them, there was nothing noteworthy about them.
