Milo's Room 600 AC

[The Smith]

"Because information was power, and Daemon has the ability to act with out following the proper steps." Milo laughed.

[Marie]

"That does not make it right," Joanna said. "Maekar is my own brother. I need to know whether he is innocent or guilty in according with the law."

[The Smith]

"I have said these words before if you want laws go to the Master of Laws. I am the master of whispers. Come to me for whispers." Milo replied.

[Marie]

"Maekar is the Master of Laws," Joanna said. "i can hardly go to him for information about his own crime. You are the one who told me of this, Milo, do your duty and help me."

[The Smith]

"You went to him? What did you say?" Milo asked, and his eyes opened slightly.

[Marie]

"I did not go to him," Joanna lied. "Stop trying to throw me off the scent. I want to know where those men are. I can see that I will have to interrogate them myself."

[The Smith]

Milo laughed, "They will not speak to you, and I will not tell you where they are because you will get your pretty throat cut."

[Marie]

"I'd take guards with me," Joanna said. "Daemon always allows me to have a knight of the Kingsguard present when I'm about my business and I'm sure he'd led me some of his own men. Please, Milo, you have to help me. I need to know the truth."

[The Smith]

Milo sighed, "I have told you the truth. You seem to think that by walking there things will change to suit your opinion, and they will not."

[Marie]

"Well, I must do something, that is all. Maekar cannt be punished as it stands. What sort of a realm is this if the guilty go free?"

[The Smith]

"An average normal realm I would suspect." Milo laughed, "Murders walk away from their crimes daily Joanna, the only reason this one affects you is because it is yours."

[Marie]

"Yes, my husband died. A man who was goodbrother to the king himself. If men of such position can die and their murders go unavenged, what hope is there for lesser mortals?"

[The Smith]

"The lesser mortals have adjusted to the lack of hope." Milo replied.

[Marie]

"Well I have not," Joanna retorted. "Please, Milo, it would be doing me a kindness to tell me what you have done with those men. How did you even get them to confess if they will not testify against Maekar?"

[The Smith]

"They talked of the attack like soldiers do. Over drinks to a man who used to be a soldier once. They talked of it while bedding a whore. They talked of it among themselves while servants were near, and the servants talked about it to who ever would listen." Milo answered, "This is a thing I know, but I also know to prove it I would need to torture a man, and even then he might not break."
