=== The Ghensurrection ===

Remember how I said that things would be fine for me if I could just manage to not provoke the Ghenians again? Both I and my mother reined our soldiers in after taking the city so as not to provoke the locals further. Telefor, on the other hand, thought nothing of it and let his soldiers loot. This was something I absolutely should have discussed beforehand but honestly it just slipped my mind. The locals of Ghenio, who has been foraged twice by my own soldiers (which we had run away from) and at least one more time by my enemies, became very violent over the looting. Nine thousand soldiers gathered outside Ghenio. And in the face of this? I, the commander with the largest force of us three, ran away to a remote village, leaving Telefor to deal with all of the rebels by himself.

Once again, I implore you to remember that I ''absolutely needed'' to procure supplies. No waiting could be tolerated. If I had waited any longer I would have been risking an uprising of my own troops. So despite the abysmal optics I left to pursue other goals.

Fortunately, Telefor was able to placate the peasants with some bribes and some words and no Narithan blood was spilt. I was embarassed about the whole ordeal but had no other choice once I had dug myself this far into my own grave. Either way, it seemed to work out fine.
