On the surface, it seemed like the guard captain was on Violet's side.
In the tavern, rumors were being spread that worked against Violet, and whether these rumors were true or not, anyone daring to spread them either had to be brave or instigated by someone else behind the scenes.
What would it mean if they caught the person spreading these rumors?
Perhaps, the person spreading these rumors would end up in jail, but Violet could not assure that others wouldn't continue to spread the news.
At first, it was just some nonsense spouted by a drunkard.
However, when the drunkard was caught and jailed for his blather, this baseless talk took on the weight of truth.
The new town mayor was indeed just as the drunkard described: he was either ineffective or all his actions were foolish.
Saying a few slightly disrespectful words behind someone's back had resulted in such an extreme reaction and decision.
Who could guess what might happen in the future?
