Zamul cringes and names two more people. “Very well, Zamul you will lead Sir Bormin to these men and along the way return what remains of what you stole from the mint.” Zamul bows low again and Hilma drops him from her attention. “Now, who among you struck the master minter?” two of the men raise their hands and after Zamul glances at him Durro raises his as well. Hilma nods “You shall be sentenced to the standard punishment for thieves, you will have your fingers broken and shall have your skin branded.” The men flinch and one looks up, a horrified look on his face. “Be grateful,” Hilma warns “Stealing from the crown is tantamount to treason and that carries a far harsher punishment. As for the rest of you, in times like these more men are required to serve their king, therefore you shall be conscripted and repay your debt to the crown by serving it upon the battlefield.”
Those men conscripted relax somewhat knowing that their fate is not to die immediately. “Durro.” Hilma turns to the man “I assume that you were the ringleader of these men?”
Durron looks up and glares at the Queen-Dowager “Aye,” he grumbles.
“For that, and for your completely unrepentant behavior, you are sentenced to death by hanging.” Sentence drops like a lead weight upon the court. The angry and red faced Durro pales and he visibly swallows his next words. By the look on his face, Hilma can see Durro’s mind working feverishly to understand what just happened and how he can get out of it. Unfortunately for him there is nothing more to be done and death at the end of a rope shall be his fate.
