Ferdinand ended up apologizing since the Valerians were his people. He felt bad that his wife was getting rumored like this here.
After all, Arabella was loved by the people in Lobelius. Rumors like this about her did not flourish there.
But she's the Empress here now, Valerians were her people too.
Meaning, she should also help in managing people who spread gossip like this. And she just recalled there was something she could use for a situation like this.
'Right. I can use them.'
Arabella recalled the publishing company she worked with in her previous life. They had gone bankrupt and were in dire straights then.
She helped them out of their debts in exchange for working solely for her. She had hired them to control the spread of information in Valeria. They used facts and rumors alike to worsen the discontent of the people and intensify the civil war.
They were just the people she needed now. She used them for evil before, but she could use them for a good cause instead.
