Now, while I was a foolish, trusting man, I would have never fallen for it if he had made his victims out to be the perpetrators.
Instead, Marlowe threw the nobles who attended his events under the wagon. He provided an awful mountain of evidence pointing toward their wrongdoings, then explained his own as a stopgap.
That not only would people have suffered a better fate in Marlowe's hands, but their lives could distract the even worse nobles from their own malevolent operations.
Naturally, it was all bullshit.
But it was bullshit I believed.
As the documents he provided were all too convincing.
Because they were real.
These fiendish nobles had indeed done everything Marlowe had accused them of. The only thing that I'd been lied to about was that Marlowe's operation had any positive effect or goals.
In any case…
I stuck the Royal Assassins on these nobles. Overnight, the scum of Catatran was gone; however, I failed to entirely account for the repercussions of the action.
