"Who else will stand with Baron Loghlan Dunn?"
Ashlynn's words were still echoing off the walls of the Lothian Great Hall when Erling Fayle stood to speak.
"I will stand for justice," Erling said, shifting his gaze between Ashlynn and the Inquisitors lying on the floor of the Great Hall. "I won't pretend to know anything about the crimes that Lord Owain is accused of, but I'll hear the evidence of them with my own ears. But first, the men of the Inquisition acted recklessly and ruthlessly, and they endangered the lives of my vassals' families," he said, turning his gaze to the wives and children of the knights who still stood with Ashlynn's men.
"I owe my vassals justice for what was done," Erling said. "So long as we can hold the Inquisition to count for their actions tonight, I stand with Lady Ashlynn."
