"The Squirrel Faction was provoked, there's no doubt about it."
Tishaya spoke as she tidied up the cutlery in front of her, making them symmetrical and orderly.
"But being provoked is not an excuse; what's done is done. On my way back to Gos Velen, I saw how those Squirrel Faction treated their enemies. It was just like Farjia's rebellion."
"They hung people on trees as practice targets for archery, castrated, dismembered, disfigured, burned..."
Farjia's rebellion was a terrible character in the Northern Countries. She once instigated a cruel and wide-ranging rebellion, which even covered the entire Northern Kingdom.
Later, she was executed by fire and was called 'Bloody' Farjia.
That was more than a hundred years ago.
Below the private booth platform, the Silver Swan Tavern was clean and luxurious, with gentle bright lighting. People at the tables were toasting and talking about business deals worth hundreds or thousands of Oren Coins.
