| [the lawful arrest of several heretics from within the ranks of camp dragonhead sets ishgard ablaze with rumor and gossip.
the fact that they were led by the once-esteemed ser barremert de valiere only adds to the consternation and frenzy surrounding the talk, but the rumormongers lose the thread of their story soon enough. despite the fact that the holy see's official announcement thoughtfully credited the azure dragoon, lord francel de haillenarte, ser corentiaux of camp dragonhead, and inquisitor brigie of the same, people soon forget that lord francel was involved at all after a few retellings of the story, and credit somehow becomes misattributed to lord haurchefant and ser estinien working in tandem.
francel doesn't mind. or rather, he does mind, but only superficially — it is a source of private frustration to him that he can never seize glory for his house in the ways that he would like, but he doesn't mind that the people of ishgard believe that haurchefant was involved.
better this than for them to know how badly he was hurt by ser barremert's betrayal, he thinks.] |
