Niall: What do you want?

Guardsman 1: Niall Westmore, you stand charged of stealing the king’s seal and counterfeiting his orders at the front. You’re under arrest.

Niall: What?! I didn’t—

Alexander: No!

Niall: Hey, wait! Get your hands off me!

Alexander: Don’t fight them.

Niall: I didn’t do this, Alexander! You’ll have to find out who framed me.

Alexander: Whoever did this can’t get away with it. I’m going to find out and get justice for my brother.
