Midday. Snow fell on the carriage roof, barely making any sound. The scenery outside was white.
The whole city might have been in a state of turmoil. But the case was different in the central regions. Nevertheless, the streets were empty. The higher nobles still had a fear against the guerrilla tactics of the Rebellion.
During the last revolt, when the commoners united and stood up against the Imperial rule for the first time in the Empire's history, the nobles were by no ways prepared to fight against the unconventional rebels.
They thought their regular skills, tactics and strategies, the ones they used against the Confederation or the stampede would work against those lowly plebeians. But they were wrong, fatally so.
The commoners were among them- their servants, their maids, their coachmen and even the guards they trusted their lives with. Not to mention, their works heavily relied on the labours of the lower class.
