[Reviewing documents] The more we dig, the clearer it becomes that Thorne has been orchestrating opposition to us. We must act swiftly to prevent further damage.

King Cedric (ML)

[Resolutely] Let’s confront him directly. If we expose his schemes to the public, it may help quell the dissent he has sown.

Meanwhile, Thorne gathered his supporters, planning to counter the council's moves.

Lord Thorne

[Rallying his followers] We cannot let them deceive us any longer! We must rise up and show them that we will not be silenced!
