But Johan responded with a sad expression.
That seems unlikely.
Why is that?
You are a man of the Emperors faction, arent you? His Grace the duke would be furious if he heard I was mingling with the Emperors people.
Ah, no. What! Im not of the Emperors faction!
Youre not of the Emperors faction?
W-Well, among the knights with me, there are a few vassals of His Majesty. They are certainly knights of Cardirian. But thats just because we share the same goal, Im not of the Emperors faction. Rather, if the others in the city belong to the Emperors faction, they are, but Im not part of that. . .
Gareld began to firmly deny it, driven by his desire to recruit Johan. Johan skillfully inflated that desire.
Is that so? I once heard from His Grace the duke that Sir Gareld was a regrettable knight. He said he would have met you if only you werent one of the Emperors men.
I-Is that true??
Would I lie? I am the honorable standard-bearer of Brduhe and a knight of His Grace the duke. And your name was also mentioned by Horamric-gong.
Horamric-gong too?
Yes. Horamric-gong and I are close friends. Thanks to him being not far, we often keep in touch.
Johans face did not look at all like that of a liar.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
In addition, Johans lies were subtle. Lies like The duke mentioned it once, or The dukes son said it, seemed plausible.
I. . . I do not like the rule of Cardirian! He is a tyrant of the south. Moreover, he is a despicable man who does not respect the honor of the nobility. To be considered part of the same force as such a man, I cannot bear it! Rather, I respect His Grace the duke.
Really?
Of course! You see. . . Sir Johan. May I possibly meet His Grace the duke once? I have always admired the dukes renowned name.
Im sure sir is busy with his duties, and when will he travel to Baien? How about meeting Horamric-gong? Im sure hed be happy to come all the way here to meet you.
!!!
Gareld was about to cry now. Though he was a noble in the city, he was tossed around because he was an outsider.
But such an opportunity had come his way.
Moreover, it was more surprising that the dukes child would come himself. Such a lie was unimaginable. To him, who was a knight of no significance in the Empire, the name of the dukes family exerted absolute power.
He. . . Hes coming? Really?
Of course.
I will. . . I will trust you only!
Ah, yes.
Now Johan was moving with a select few, along with the bishop, to enter Beneto.
People like Achladda, Euclyia, and Marco were left outside to control others. Johan had chosen only Gerdolf to accompany him.
Dont be surprised when we enter the city, brother.
Yes.
The bishop, aware of his own rumors, admonished Johan earnestly. It would be a problem if Johan wavered upon hearing these rumors.
The bishop was now going for negotiations, having learned the name of the enemy. He believed that negotiating with them could resolve everything.
. . .
Thats what Johan thought. Why would the enemy accept such terms when it seemed the bishop was at a disadvantage?

Over dozens of vagabonds shouted these accusations. The citys underbelly, composed of such beggars and wanderers, always came out to play a central role in any disturbance.
They were the perfect candidates for inciting riots, demonstrations, or threats!
The fact that they appeared as soon as the bishop arrived was clearly intentional.

Johan was taken aback when suddenly people in the crowd began to recognize him. The rumors were somewhat strange, almost as if they were intentionally boosting Johans image.

Johan smirked upon seeing a familiar face in the crowd. It was Garelds servant. It seemed Gareld had countered by hiring people.
