He looked at the Councilor and Diplomat, before shrugging with his wings. "If he wasn't specifically trying to undermine the stability of the kingdom, then yes. Sadly, this is one of the times when deliberate, decisive actions must be taken. Otherwise, he would continue to undermine the nation while we deliberate. The trial will take place in a couple weeks, and if I am wrong then I publicly apologize for my misgivings, and then quietly advise the bard that other kingdoms, Taldor for example, would have him immediately dragged to the headsman's block or gallows for such blatant actions.<br/><br/>Not that I expect to get much to prove he is a foreign agent. Hence why he is being charged with conspiracy, and MAYBE malignant magical misuse if we can prove he was using his bardic magic to help incite. The best we can do is exile from the city if he is found guilty. I doubt we will be able to do or prove enough for more."<br/><br/>He then dismissed the emergency council, grabbing Allison and having her head to the local caster tower to get the only 'neutral' magic user in town not directly employed by the baron, to come and check for lingering magic traces. It was part of the agreement to building his mage tower, that he would assist with requests to provide a third party's view on possible magic crimes. Devaguea then headed to the inn to be nearby if the bard tried to enspell the guards. If he did, then the case would be clear cut, and Talia's investigation would be for intel rather than the trial.
