Alan
Alan and Cari arrived at the throne room to see Kristoff putting down a limp oh god please don't be dead Anna. Before either one could say anything, Kristoff was barking orders at them.
"Cari, fetch a healer immediately. Anna is alive, but she won't be for long if we don't stop this bleeding. This scum"- he indicated Karl- "needs help too, but only once Anna is safe. Alan, raise the alarm- Queen Elsa is missing, possibly dead. We'll find out more once the scum wakes up. As of this moment, we have to assume that Karl was working for Prince Heins, therefore, he is to be captured on sight- but not killed, we might need him to find the queen." Cari and Alan stood stunned, neither one had ever heard Kristoff give orders like that before.
"NOW!" Startled out of their immobility, Cari and Alan ran down the hall, and as they ran, they talked.
"So what have you pieced together?", asked Cari.
"Not a lot, unfortunately. Earlier today, I met Heins and Karl. I didn't speak to either one, but Heins struck me as a good and honorable man trying to distance himself from his brother. It doesn't make sense for him to do this."
"Well, one thing for sure, we know those brothers know how to lie."
"True." As Cari turned away to go to the healers quarters, Alan ran up to the watchtower to sound the alarm. Once he arrived, the guard sprang up.
"Sir! What's the problem?"
"What's your name, son?"
"Erik, sir."
"Well, Erik, sound the alarm, get everyone in the assembly hall. I'll address them there. You go too."
"But sir, my post-"
"This is more important. Five minutes, assembly hall."
Seven minutes later, the staff and the guards were assembled in the hall, around 200 in all. Alan stood up on a chair and whistled.
"Attention! We have a serious problem. There's no easy way to say this, so here goes: Queen Elsa is missing, possibly dead. Prince Heins has fled, and he is thought to be behind today's events. His servant, Karl, wounded Princess Anna before being captured. The Princess is not certain to survive. Prince Consort Kristoff has temporary command by order of Queen Elsa in the case of… well, this." There was silence in the room for a few seconds, and then everyone started shouting at once. Questions on everything from Princess Anna's condition to the legality of a Prince Consort assuming control. As Alan futilely tried to regain control, the doors swung open and Kristoff strode through, his face a grim mask of determination. All voices ceased as the crowd noticed the new arrival.
