Chapter 3377 Countermeasures
- Inside the royal palace, Mortimer sat in his study, listening to the report from one of the palace guards. His expression darkened, and a slight frown creased his brow.
- As a grandmaster, Mortimer not only possessed great strength but also had sharp political instincts. In just a few short days, he had brought stability to Montiria, ensuring that even the most unruly ministers behaved, fearing both his carrot and his stick.
- However, this recent wave of rumors seemed suspiciously well-coordinated, as if orchestrated. The way the rumors spread like wildfire made it feel like a calculated move. Mortimer knew that if he were to use force to suppress the rumors, it would only fuel them further. By doing so, the entire nation would believe that the rumors had struck a nerve, making it seem like there was something to hide. After all, if he hadn't done anything wrong, why would he need to silence the rumors? It would only make him appear guilty. Worse still, the rumors had already spread throughout the entire country.
