RE: Uprising In Gonjolard (Part 5) | Freewrite: 3/22/24 | Prompt: A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

Hello @kemmyb. Yes, Vicar Tibost must tread lightly now that he's been suspected of working with the SOB. Others will have to step up and carry out the plans. And yes, the Crown is oppressive and uses its army to intimidate the common people. A classic setting for protest of deplorable conditions.

I feel as though taking the peasants' women and thinking the peasant men will sit quietly by for decades was the Crown's mistake. I can imagine the villagers not knowing who their families are in the mix of all that confusion with swapping the women. At some point, enough is enough combined with other oppressive tactics.

It was fun introducing Lauryn of The Long Sword. A perfect match as an opposite for Alphonse. Let's see if their reunion is steeped in the memories each one shared. Hopefully they can work together to help bring down the Crown.

We'll see. Next, we'll meet the Crown and hopefully understand why the kingdom is in such disarray. Is the SOB the answer to stability and chaos? I certainly hope so.

Thanks so much for your visit and lovely compliment for my story. I'm pleased you liked this chapter in the saga. It's a fine line attempting to divulge the backstory instead of constant action.

Take care and have a good rest of your week.
