Fishing Them Out

~Leo~

Max and Kyle were very diligent in organising my warriors.

I arrived there with Marcel, Theodore, David, Devin, My father, and Sylvester.

We needed everyone with a command on deck.

I knew what I would do violated their rights, but these were desperate times that called for desperate measures.

Over five hundred men gathered in the open as per my orders, and I stood on the elevated ground to address them.

They all bowed to honour the King and then went on their knees.

“Rise!” Sylvester ordered, and they got on their feet. I was glad he wasn’t the type to bask in the glory. This wasn’t the time for reverence. Besides, it would be pointless if they were traitors. At the end of it all, Sylvester’s reign was indeed in jeopardy.

I cleared my throat to speak to them.

Casper brought a microphone, and I wanted to laugh when I collected it. I had never addressed this vast number, maybe eighty people at a time, but five hundred plus was a large number.

I beat the head of the microphone, and David laughed, seeing that the device felt alien in my hand.

“I know you all wonder why you have been called out here today,” I said, and they were silent.

“Well, yesterday, our Nitric plant was set ablaze, and this is a crucial moment for this kind of atrocity to happen,” I said, and everyone was silent.

“I find it disturbing that the place went in flames at a crucial time like this, knowing well that we need Nitric acid to combat those things,” I said, focusing my attention on them.

“None of the people we fought survived the attack, and everyone on my team has something critical to lose if our enemies win; that means the arsonist and/or the informant is among you,” I said, and they began to murmur.

“Silence!” David ordered them, and they all held their tongues.

If you confess and step out, I will tamper judgement with mercy, but if you make me fish you out, I won’t be merciful. We should spend this time planning other things. Instead, we are out here talking to all of you. If you know you are part of the traitors, spare your time now and step out. I won’t be furious, but if we have to
