Just as Izher had predicted, less than two days later almost everyone in the country had known that the disease originated from the God of Plague. The least the barbarians could do after the incident with Ernoul was to spread awareness of it. However, they firmly kept the secret of Ernoul's death as well as his involvement with the aforementioned disease in a tight lid, fearing that the country would sever their deal and reduce them into a bunch of starving and desperate men again.
The Chief Tribe's position ended up landing on Elder Alain, who received unanimous votes from everyone for his great contributions to aid with the peace treaty.
Ashamed of Ernoul's malicious act, everyone had vowed to bring the secret to their graves and never again spoke of his name.
Everyone, except one.
