The rumor about Patriarch Barevisk's past spread, and it made many people angry. It was a rumor that many found unacceptable, and although they still waited for confirmation, merely hearing it was enough to boil their blood.
The rumor claimed that Patriarch Barevisk had actually killed the previous patriarch, and that was the first thing that enraged many. The former patriarch was seen as a good leader with a noble character. Many believed he was the one who had kept the Barevisk family standing tall, even compared to the Valroy family.
That was why his death in the past had truly saddened many people. They had lost a leader with integrity. His successor, the current patriarch, was not as capable as him and had even made the Barevisk family seem more like the Valroy family's vassal.
