Truce Negotiations (Part-2)
The pinning of all the nobles' death on just a hundred or so handful of guards was just a paper construct, beautiful to look at from far, but it would crumble at the slightest poke of scrutiny.
Although there were many nobles who came forth as eyewitnesses as to the guilt of the executed palace guards, and this was verified independently by neutral parties, the most glaring flaw of that recounting was that all these nobles were staunch supporters of Ptolomy.
Of course, this inconsistency was explained by claiming that nobles belonging to Amenheraft's faction were all absent from Adhan for the following three reasons.
One- Many died in the first battle when Amenheraft tried to capture Ptolomy.
Two- Many fled the city with Amenheraft when the city fell.
And third- Many were killed in the melee ten days ago.
