The whole mob takes a step back as Hilma pushes past her bodyguard, coming face to face with Titos. “I was forced out of my home by my husband’s killer, forced to send my daughters into hiding, and forced to come here to find out why the mint wasn’t sending money, in one of the direst hours of our kingdom.”
Hilma turns her withering gaze from the flinching Titos to the mob. “And what do I find when I get here? That the people of this village had assaulted a loyal retainer, stolen money from the mint, and squandered it on gambling and drink.” The mob shrinks back further as Hilma takes another step forward “And now, as if everything else wasn’t enough, I come here to ask some simple questions and someone attempts to kill me. Worse yet, the whole town comes out to defend the regicide. It is a testament to my patience and kind-heart, that I haven’t already ordered this town and everyone it to destroyed for their actions. Well now that patience is at an end. This mob will disperse and return to their homes before I give the order to have this town’s just punishment enacted.” Hilma finishes, her rage at its climax.
Sir Bormin stands to Hilma’s side reinforcing her threat, while the retainers behind them stand smartly to attention.
Thoroughly stung by Hilma’s words and threats, the rear of the mob starts to retreat. It isn’t until Titos, with a bow and quiet apology, departs, that the mass exodus begins. Just as quickly as it had formed, the mob disappears and the streets are empty and silent, once again.
The prisoners as well are wordless and defeated, as they are led off to Brak and lord Gallis’s prisons.
Who will lead the interrogation of the prisoners?
