Fake court (6)

As soon as the former General Gardner's voice fell, everyone looked at me along with him.

I could see the strange looks that were cast in my direction, but it seemed that there were quite a few people that seemed to agree with him.

After all, they knew about the things that I had done and I had even received the nickname of butcher by the populace.

If we were talking about the people that were most hated by the people of the other kingdoms, I would certainly be at the top of that list.

So what he was implying was technically correct.

It was just that…

Seeing that no one said anything, the former General Gardner took this as a sign that they were contemplating it, so he continued by saying, "If you want to really appease the other kingdoms, even someone as uncultured as me can see who you should really be sending. I swear that I'll do all that I can for the kingdom if you send the one that you should really be sending to the other kingdoms."
