Under The Song Of The Moon

Nasiah heard all the nasty things those nobles said about his mother. He watched it all from the shadows and he could read it all on their faces.

Half of them didn't even listen to what the others were saying and just nodded along to agree with the group. 

They would just add on things they didn't even know were true or not just to get a reaction or just to spread around the ill desire to see someone else fall. It was a quite sad state of affairs.

He could not do anything about it for a while, as it was something that did not really relate to the assassination attempt. That was until he heard a group talk about his mother being a possible traitor.

In that conversation he noticed the one who started it was being egged on by his mother in a disguise. That was when he realized that this must be on purpose. She was trying to lead the conversation to figure something out.
