"What?!" Tors shouted when he heard the news. "Another assassination?!" Storms, someone had it out for the royal family. Despite not being a native of Alethkar, he felt some need to help keep the kingdom running. After all, if Alethkar collapsed, anything could happen to the neighboring countries.
He made his way to where a group of nobles was gathering just in time to hear Tion make his proclamation. He is right, Tors thought, Someone needs to take control. But he seems too power-hungry to actually help people. Could he have orchestrated this to take control in the chaos?
I don't actually suspect you at this point, just some RP
^yet, anything can happen
