A thin line appeared as he listened closely to what the others had to say. He was not surprised when the Naer took the side of Audrae. The man allowed her to finish her questions and observations. The darkness that had nearly destroyed all the iyo came to his mind. It had been unsettling and unnatural then suddenly they had relit as if nothing but sleeping for days.
“I believe it is her because the iyo have been acting strange for several cycles now. Not just their normal molting that happens in Cylus. Does no one remember the darkness that gripped our city only two cycles ago? The Iyo had went out and stayed out for several days. Then suddenly as if awakening began to stir only to turn this dark red. She may not be directly responsible, but there are many that work for her and bear her mark that she could have used,” Gladysic stated.
He kept his voice as calm and even as possible while listening to the others. It seemed the crowd was torn between following him as he had intended and wanting the group before him to investigate. His mind whirled while thinking as much as he could as quickly as possible. It was true that their investigation could not hurt anything in his mind. It could even give him time to send more rumors among the citizens. Get as many on his side without making it obvious his plans. The council were already trying to calm their fears.
“Hm, perhaps I have indeed been too hasty. Alright I will give you all two days to find some proof that this is truly not Audrae at work. If you can convince me, then the Iyo larva will be spared. Should you be unable to produce proof it is not her. Then the attack on the larva will commence,” Gladysic said with a cool ease, “I cannot wait to see what it is that you find.”
The man excused himself and walked away from the crowd allowing it to dispense. Many of the women in the crowd would do his work for him. However there was still much to be done while they are busy going to find “evidence”.
