The spread of rumors is like a wildfire in the forest, once ignited, it can't be stopped.
Not to mention that this rumor was interspersed with some truths, even Hudson, busy transporting bonds here and there, received the news.
The first to leak the news was not the Church, but the Alpha Kingdom.
Helpless, the major nobles did not have infinite war bonds. After being incinerated continuously, in order to continue profiting from the Church, the Kingdom had to "borrow bonds" from the domestic small and medium-sized nobles.
The number of those who knew the inside story rapidly expanded from dozens to tens of thousands, and the news could no longer be kept secret.
Fortunately, the Kingdom hid its intentions, and the ones who came forth to borrow bonds were all major nobles from various regions, without directly displaying the banner of the Kingdom.
