The go looking for a reserve Royal Treasury in Scotland to hire a local bodyguard to protect the King while he's in Scotland.

Meanwhile the Assembly that had already voted to not support the King has employed a group of Scottish Mercenaries who has just returned from fighting in the Thirty Years War in Europe. They are battle ready and have the horses and weapons needed for combat. Members in the Assembly are afraid if the King gets his hands on the Titles and Deeds that they will lose their Titles and the lands under their control
