In just the blink of an eye, stories of the northern six provinces rebelling under the banner of Princess Constance turned from a whispered rumor to open news. All over town, between wells, that was the topic on everyone's mouth. People anxiously discussed the situation at hand as they tried to get the latest information from one unverified source to another. They discussed the motives of the princess, the motives of the six northern provinces, the changes on the front line, and what His Majesty would do. However, the battle near Copulus River and the village that was destroyed in the fighting was more worrying. It worried everyone since that place was not considered far away.
