100wordsTitle: Propaganda
Fandom: The Witcher (Video Game Series)
Rating: PG
Notes: Written for Amnesty week! Prompt #161: Word Pair III (Loose/Lose)
Warning: Dark Themes, Torture
Loose tongues lose wars. It was a common motto repeated throughout the army, one even sewn into skin. Any one of them, even their closest comrade, could sell them out to the enemy. Nilfgaard delighted in gossip and rumors and what was exchanged between drunks at taverns and whorehouses.
The penalty for doing so? A trip to Vizima. Some scoffed at the notion, until they wound up in the dungeons themselves. Chained and naked facing him.
He wasn’t cruel out of pleasure; it was a necessity. And split tongues were a small price to pay for Temeria’s stability.
