Himmeln was shocked by the news of the rebellion in the Palton Territory in the northwestern part of the Empire.
The word 'rebellion' itself was extremely subversive.
But what was even more shocking was that the primary instigators of the rebellion were none other than commoners!
"So you're saying that the commoners drove out the nobles and took over the land?"
"That's ridiculous. There must be someone controlling this from behind the scenes."
In a world where mana exists, the nobility maintain absolute power due to an insurmountable gap.
Combat among knights who wield mana, nobles who command magicians, and ordinary farmers and carpenters is unthinkable.
But it wasn't even a barony; it was a countship, and the commoners had expelled the nobles. Naturally, there was suspicion of a hidden force behind the scenes.
The ignorant could not see beyond the immediate facts and focused only on what was visible.
