A guard walked over to the bed. He looked down at the dagger then back up at Harrald.

It was then that Harrald took a good look at the dagger and saw that it was his dagger. He took a step back and let his mother down on her bed. His clothes were covered in her blood.

Saerlund looked at the scene with horror. "Harrald...why?"

"It is not what it looks like..." said Harrald raising his hands.

The closest guard out a hand on his sword.

"That...is your dagger." said Saerlund.

"She was dead when I got here." said Harrald.

A guard saw a note nearby with the Jarl's seal. He handed it to Saerlund.

"What is this?" he asked and broke the seal and read the note. It was signed by Laila and said that Saerlund would be her heir, not Harrald. "So, this is why..."

"What?" asked Harrald confused.

"Mother was going to make me the next Jarl and you couldn't take it!" yelled Saerlund.

"WHAT?! That is preposterous...mother would never..." said Harrald before stopping himself when the guards started giving him strange looks. "I didn't kill her."

"You were here when we arrived, the murder weapon is yours and you had motive. We have to take you in." said a guard. He waved for two guards to apprehend Harrald.

He hesitated, which didn't help his case.
