Clan hall,
Majority of the people who held important positions, were summoned to his room out of nowhere,
" I called you all here to discuss something important and I request you all to let me speak first and then you can put forward your views, till then I hope none of you would open their mouth."
The leader spoke first. After he finished saying this, he looked around and saw that everyone had nodded their heads, Braska wanted to say a lot of things but he knew that one of them was involved in a conspiracy against them. So he decided to say the most important thing first, "The man who came with us 2 days ago. That man played an important role in saving our vice leader's life and you all must know how important the life of our vice reader is to all of us.
You all must be aware how bad the situation would be for our clan had she died. I also thought the same and thinking this I made a agreement with him. He helped us only as per the agreement. Now it's my turn. In return for his help, I promised him that I would help him and I asked him to marry a girl from our clan
All I expect from all of you now is that you will understand my situation and support whatever decision I have taken."
Upon hearing this from the Clan leader, everyone began whispering, Some people had questions in their minds, some were angry, and some people accepted what he said.
The first to speak was a man who was part of this conspiracy and he came forward and started making arguments with the leader.
"Leader what are you saying, you want us to marry one of our daughters to that person. You know what all the people of that state did to us, how much they insulted us? Despite all this you still expect us to maintain any relationship with him."
That man's name was Hyde, Hyde was thinking only one thing in his mind.' If he had known that this person was going to cure the Vice Leader, then I would have killed him beforehand. I wouldn't have left him alive till now. But now I had committed a huge mistake and if my partners come to know about this, then who knows what they are going to do with me? I have to do something',
So he decided that he will turn all the tribe members against that man. It is difficult but the humiliation they faced in the past may be useful. Thinking this, he continued adding more fuel to the fire.
"Leader, you are a very good person, that is why you are not able to understand the trickery of that person. That person is ver cunning he is just thinking of ways to fool us all so, that he can take advantage of us. Think about it yourself, how did that person know that our vice leader's is unwell? When this was supposed to be the deepest secrect guarded by our people, you can believe me, it is definitely the human being who has done all of this."
Some other tribesmen agreed with this view and raised their voice in support.
Hyde wanted to say a lot. But if he had said more, people might have suspected him. So he tried to incite them all. Hyde would have been successful in his mission. if the leader had not stopped him,
The leader interrupted him and said, "that man isn't the conspirator but he knows the actual one, I took that man to our holy place and even made him take an oath. It's okay if you don't believe what I say. At least you will have faith in our holy place. Do you think that our stone of truth would have let him go? Had he lied?"
Hyde couldn't say anything more after hearing this from the Leader because if he said anything, it would be an insult to his clan's beliefs. Therefore, he had no other option but to keep quiet.
The voice of the leader was heard by all and everyone who heard him believed in him. They believed that they cannot betray that man now because he not only saved the life of their vice leader but also respected their beliefs by taking an oath at their holy site.
To doubt that man now would be like doubting their ancestors and they could never do this.
"One more thing, initially even I was suspicious of him, but that man despite facing my suspicions, questions and baseless accusations remained unbothered and helped us with the cure and that too before the deal was signed, believing that we tribesmen are trustworthy and will pay him back at any cost and I believe with this you all understand how much he trusts us and the people I know... no my people know how to repay one's trust " the leader said, delivering master stroke with an unprecedented ease.
