Silence fell once more and an eerie sort of cold swept by. It was clear and obvious that Sylas was going to target either the General or the City Lord, and while this made sense…
Bold.
That was what it was. Truly bold.
Somewhere in this chain, one or the other was lied to. Either the General submitted a false report to the City Lord, or the City Lord was pulling strings and lied to the General.
The government of Guiz City, and System Cities in general, all had checks and balances. The military was a check to the City Lord and the Nobles, while the Nobles were a check to the military.
Sylas had inadvertently… or maybe very purposely pressed down on this hot button issue.
The way Sylas was received after he used his Noble Title to become a Military Official said all that needed to be said. There were certainly clashes between these two factions already.
