Silas sighs. "I got nothing, then. Sorry to bother you, Your Majesty."
Ask your guardian angel? Nice idea, but it has never ever worked. Nothing bad has happened, you just don't get a response. Ever. Your guardian angel may be more straightforward than most, but no angel would deliver an answer on request like that. It's just not done.

[3] Whilst you are in the dungeons, Berte brings you some light reading to pass the time. Unfortunately, Berte's idea of light reading differs significantly from your own and you just end up with a series of annals of the kingdom's history. It's mostly dull reading, but along the way you end up stumbling on a reference to a 'Mystic Blue Gem' sought after by the Order of the Silver Bull, four hundred years ago. The Order was dissolved by King Sigurd for their failure, but the books contain no references to what the gem was for or any details about the order.
But potentially you might at least have
something to go on now.
Terenos gathers his new regiment, approaches the loyal crown regiment remaining in the castle and tells them that Leuki was killed by conspirators to the crown. All of whom are now dead. He pleads with them to join with him, to move to prevent unnecessary bloodshed in the north
[5] The crown regiment, uncertain of their present leadership, are mollified by your promise not to retain the title of King and frankly a little bit lost without a clear heir - although one of them mentions that there is a third, un-lamed Trubaldsome brother of heritable age whose whereabouts are unknown. You convince them that
Perfringens the third von Trubaldsome is a vassal of your King and that you have his permission to lead in his stead. They might not believe that exactly, but they're willing to follow your leadership for now.
Action- Send a message to my kin (who shall be named Morosin) that it is unsafe to travel any more north. Tell him to send human envoys to trade goods.
You send a message along the trade channels to Morosin. With any luck, this should find him and prevent any unfortunate lynch-mobbing.
