Sapphire - Noblesse Oblige

Poisoned Tongue

A villager returned home, to check on his family. 

Petyr: "Agatha, Leivule, it's me. Are you guys okay?"

Agatha: "Petyr, thank goodness you're back. We were so worried about you."

Leivule: "Did we win the battle? Did the warriors save the town?"

Petyr: "Yes, we won the battle. We were saved by Gami, the man in charge of training the town's butchers."

Agatha: "Oh, thank goodness. I'm so relieved."

Leivule: "Gami? You mean Lily's boyfriend Gami?"

Petyr: "Yes, that's the one."

Leivule: "I can't believe it. He gets all the credit while I'm stuck hiding in the basement."

Agatha: "Leivule, that's not fair. You know that Gami has been working hard to save the town."

Leivule: "But he's Lily's boyfriend. It's not like he's doing it out of the goodness of his heart."

Petyr: "Leivule, that's enough. We should be grateful that we're all safe now."

Leivule: "I'm sorry. I'm just upset. I'm going for a walk."

Leivule stormed out of the house, cursing as he left.

Leivule was on a walk as he talked to himself about how much he despised Gami. He couldn't understand why Lily loved Gami instead of him. He missed Lily and wished that she would see how much he loved her. As he walked, he couldn't help but feel angry and resentful towards Gami. He thought about how unfair it was that Gami got all the credit for saving the town, while he was stuck hiding in the basement. He couldn't wait for the day when he could get revenge on Gami and prove that he was the hero that everyone needed.

Leivule: "Why does Lily love Gami? He's not even that great. I would treat her so much better than he ever could."

Leivule: "I can't believe I had to hide in the basement while Gami got all the credit for saving the town. It's not fair."

Leivule: "One day, I'll show everyone that I'm the real hero. Gami will regret ever crossing me."

Leivule: "I can't let Gami get away with this. He's not a hero. He's a fraud."

He stood up and wiped his tears.

Leivule: "I need to find out the truth about him. I'll expose him for who he really is."

He started walking, his determination growing with each step.

Leivule: "I'll show everyone that I'm the real hero. I'll prove that Gami is just a fake."

He clenched his fists, his anger towards Gami fueling his determination.

Leivule: "I'll make him pay for what he's done. Lily will see that I'm the one who truly cares for her."

He continued walking towards the bar, ready to set his plan in motion.

The next day, Leivule walked around the village, listening to the people talk about Gami. Everywhere he went, he heard the same rumors that he had started the night before.

Leivule: "It's working. Everyone believes that Gami is the villain now."

He grinned to himself, feeling a sense of satisfaction.

Leivule: "I just need to keep spreading the rumors. Soon, Gami will be exposed for who he really is."

As he walked, he noticed Lily sitting by the river, looking sad.
