"I would assume Mister Canti is still regent unless the order is so bold as to think they can strip him of the title," the guard said, shrugging his shoulders. He tried to look casual about relaying the information but inside it was a troubling possibility that the knights really had gone so far as to challenge the word of the regent. Wherever Bard II was, he was badly needed now if the government was its own components' ability to rule. The second question he didn't have an answer to, other than pure speculation. Why would they go so far as to arrest a regent? There was nothing to be gained from such a move unless they wanted the poor reputation of challenging authority. The only thing that fit the Order's reputation and typical conduct was that they had determined Canti to be some sort of threat to the king; only when the blood was threatened did the order act in a frenzy. It was all a little bit beyond his post, the job of the guard was supposed to be simple: keep people safe. He wanted to have better answers for the tired looking people before him, but the short of it was he had no idea why the Order was fired up. "But about why? I don't know. I don't think anyone does except the Order, and I've heard the lot of them are holed up in their tower with the regent right now. It's not good," he said. "But nobody wants to be the first one to step up and go to the tower, and I don't blame them. All the guard can do is hold the grounds and hope for the best."
