"Hey, did you all hear? Something big happened at the palace last night!"
"I have some inside information. Apparently, a gang of thugs from the 'Syndicate' attacked the palace and killed the visiting imperial envoy."
"Oh my! That's not all. My uncle is in the knight's order. Let me tell you, the palace was a bloody mess last night. The imperial envoy was nothing. Almost all the nobles and royals from top to bottom in our Ilinor who attended were massacred by those thugs! Even the old king died! That day... tsk tsk, according to my uncle, it was truly a river of blood!"
"Now that you mention it, when I got up in the middle of the night yesterday, I seemed to see some light in the sky near the King's Tower. I, I thought I was still half-asleep and hallucinating."
