[QUOTE="Wolv0rine, post: 2953617, member: 9045"] And this is assuming the king legitimately WANTS to know the truth. This could be nothing more than a bit of courtly maneuvering by a rival, or a way for the king to get someone who is loyal, but in some way inconvenient out of the way. Perhaps the father is simply brought before the king, both sides state their arguement, and the king judges the father guilty. The father is then thrown in the deepest, dankest dungeon under the castle to rot until such time as his family can somehow prove he is innocent. In the meantime; he is malnourished, cold, mistreated, probably soon falling ill... father could die in the dungeon waiting for you to secure proof (assuming it exists) if you take too long, boy! And my opinion is that having a time constraint because your father IS suffering, and could very well die while you are gone is better than "Hurry, find evidence before the very modern process of justice plays out and his trial ends!" :) [/QUOTE]
