News of the fall of House Frorl spread like wildfire throughout Amrok and beyond.
"Idiots." The local nobles commented, eager to learn who among them would be assigned the Frorl estate from the Crown. "Letting their degenerate son commit murder in broad daylight wasn't enough.
"They had to antagonize the Supreme Magus."
"Can you believe they ordered their guards to attack Verhen?" They would scoff. "The survivors' testimonies make it an open and shut case. I would pity Frorls, if there weren't the chance I might get a part of their lands."
"By the way, what have they been charged with?" A few asked. "The noble ranking of the Supreme Magus is still unclear, after all."
"Not anymore." Was the reply. "The Royals have decreed that assault on the Supreme Magus is an act of high treason against the Kingdom. The Frorls will be lucky if they meet the executioner after only one month of torture."
