100 words drabble - "Silence"
That sword – with a golden hilt, inlaid with jewels – was a symbol of a royal justice since the Middle Ages. A king of the Southern Isles had a duty of handling it every time he held a court. The blade was purely ceremonial, but as for now Lars was pretty sure he is feeling its sharpness against his throat.
“If any one of you”, said the king, looking grimly at his remaining sons, “knew what he was planning, you better confess now”.
Lars saw Hans trembling before their father, silently begging his older brother to help.
But he did nothing.

Hard to blame him, but I have very strong feelings about it.
