A Loneliest Commander – Episode 15 | Suspicion and Political Tension
In Episode 14, Muawiya publicly asserted his authority in Kufa and dismissed the importance of the peace agreement. His speech made it clear that opposition and unrest would no longer be tolerated under his rule.
On the following day, Muawiya once again addressed the people of Kufa. The atmosphere remained tense, as trust between ruler and population was fragile.
During this period, troubling news spread across the city. A man who had been buried as an enemy of the Umayyad authority was later discovered to have been a guard associated with Muawiya.
Reports suggested that the uniform of a death guard might have been deliberately used to create confusion. The possibility of disguise and deception raised serious concerns about hidden plots and internal manipulation.
This development intensified suspicion among the population. Political control had been established, but stability remained uncertain. Episode 15 reveals how intrigue and uncertainty continued to shadow the early years of consolidated rule.
