Aery rolled her eyes behind closed eyelids, her hands massaging her temples trying to make the headache go away. Too many things to deal with. She hissed at the use of the epithet. 
"You will be well-served for your impudence!" Silly snapped. "You not only condescend Her Majesty, and go against a royal command! You also shame the captain of her guard with vile, crude slander!"
She tackled the man to the ground while she was talking, pinning his arms behind him. "I arrest you in the name of the Crown of Adarlan. May our gods have mercy on your soul." She tied his wrists with rawhide cords. That done she stood off to the side with a dagger to the man's throat.
It then clicked with Aery. "Finn Griffith, if that is your name, I ask you a question: Which witch did you murder? Answer truthfully or face a worse fate than execution. And who were your captors, to tie up such a powerful magic for a hundred years?"
Ame yelped and with a snap of her fingers doused the fire on the banner. She mumbled under her breath, her magic in effect tying Finn's up for the moment. He was probably powerful enough to break it, if he was who he said he was.
