"There better be a damn good reason why there were people inside of my castle, with the intent to hurt my son and Princess Kennah!" He looks angry.

"Well they did," Ashton snaps.
"You will be wise to mind your tongue, boy," the Knight snarls.
"And exactly where were you?" King Zion growls at Ashton.
"Following a lead," Ashton states.
"Your job is to protect Kennah," the King roars. "Not go off playing investigator."
