Part 16
(The knights of Electus make it to the Inn inside the village of Avalon. They ask for the rooms of Tristan and Hilda and they go into their room and stand by both their bedsides some men on each side then Tristan wakes up spooked)
Tristan: Give us a heart attack why don't you?
Knight: We've been looking for you both all night sire.
Brad: What are you guys doing here?
Tristan: um...uh...
(Hilda gives him the stink eye to keep quiet about her eagle vision)
Tristan: Hilda wanted to check out this place.
(The knights look at each other in confusion)
Hilda: (laughs nervously) what can I say I'm a sucker for history, don't ye know...
Knight: We should get back into town. Shall we go?
Tristan: Right.
Hilda; Just give us a minute to get changed.
Knight: Of course. We'll wait outside in the main entry.
(They all leave)
Tristan: Great. Now they're suspicious of us.
Hilda: Now isn't the time to dwell.
Tristan: What do you mean?
Hilda: I know I didn't miss anything from the night before. I just know it.
Tristan: Yeah. Yeah you know, me neither. They sounded too convincing. We shouldn't have let them go like that.
Hilda: Maybe we didn't want to cause trouble.
Tristan: Or maybe we were too gullible and they took advantage of that.
Hilda: The blond strand of hair. Maybe they lied to us. Maybe Bea was in this village but they won't admit it.
Tristan: So what do you propose we do?
Hilda: We go back and interrogate them.
Tristan: I can't order my knights to beat them up.
Hilda: We're not going to not unless they give us a reason to. If they strike first then take out your weapons. Let's ask them some questions.
Tristan Hilda and the knights head back over to the house on the hill and knock on the front door
Man: Oh back so soon, eh? Come on in.
They do
Man: So what's this about?
(He notices the knights)
Man: I guess I should make everyone some tea then.
Hilda: What can you tell us about what I told you about before? About the princess.
Man: I know nothing.
Tristan: You know something.
Hilda: You and your brothers lied to us. Do you think were that stupid?
Man: What are you talking about? You can't just go around inside my house accusing me and my younger brothers of something that sounds insane.
Tristan: We know that you know something.
Man: I said I don't know.
Hilda: I found a strand of blond hair last night before we came into your house. Don't tell us that's not a mere matter of this case.
(Man two and three come downstairs)
Man 2: Oh hello.
Man 3: Back again so soon.
Tristan: Maybe your brothers know something.
Man: They know nothing either.
Tristan: Don't talk for them.
Hilda: Let us ask you something again. (She refers to man 2 and 3)
You know damn well what were talking about. So make it easier for yourselves. Where is the princess?
Man 2: Might I remind you where you're at?
Man 3: I wouldn't go there if I were you.
Tristan: If it's a battle you asking for, then by all means.
*Tristan and Hilda take out their swords leaving the other knights standing there in confusion*
Tristan: One more time. Where is the princess?
Man; Have you gone mad? We said we know nothing.
Man 2: I suggest you leave. Or we will have to be forced to shoot you.
Hilda: By all means. But I know I wasn't wrong coming here. And you convinced us there isn't anything here for us. One of you helped the criminals kidnap Bea. We want to know why.
Tristan: Which one of you was it?
(They all have a straight face...until man 3 has a scared look on his face and then he looks down then back up)
Man 3: It was me.
(Man and Man 2 look at him)
Man: How could you!?
Man 2: After everything we've been through together!?
Man: No. You're lying. You would never. Little brother, tell me that's not true.
Man 3: I wish I could...
Man 2: How did you do that?
Man 3: When you two were out of town for a few days, some strange men came here with a blond girl and they lived here for a few days and in return before they left, they paid me to keep quiet.
Man: I thought I taught you better than that!
Man 2: Did you not forget what happened all those years ago when we were passed around for forced labor for money and no one valued a person's life? Do you remember that?
Man: Do you remember all those hard times we promised we wouldn't turn out like those criminal scum!?
Man 2: And you aided those criminals when you knew it was wrong. You didn't alert the guards you didnt do anything.
Man: And now an innocent girl is out there somewhere.
Man 2: Our big brother is the reason we are alive right now! And this is how you pay him back?
Tristan: How could you do that? That's my sister.
Man 3: I'm sorry!
Hilda: Like that makes everything better...
Man: Let us handle this civilized.
Tristan: Those bastards didn't handle anything civilized when they took my sister.
Man: We don't blame you if you wanna kill all of us.
Tristan: Were not gonna do that.
Knight: Were taking them in. Men.
(The three brothers get put into shakles around their feet and hands they go in a straight line)
Hilda: You better hope when we get back into town, they won't have your heads.
(They all look down as the knights Hilda and Tristan gather them back to Castle Electus away from the village of Avalon)
