Discrepancy in lore (spoilers)

[Bhearil]

In that particular case, I strongly felt that the WoL was voluntarily going along with the arrest. In the cutscene where the WoL was taken, there was no struggle whatsoever, no resistance, so it's not as though the WoL was overpowered. The WoL is innocent and knows it, and plays along to get to the bottom of the mystery. A struggle would have only strengthened the accusation of murder.

There may be instances of "cutscene incompetence", but this, in particular, I don't think is one of them.

Later on, when the WoL flees with the rest of the Scions might be a better example. Why flee, when the WoL could simply wipe out the pursuing forces? Again, though the WoL is innocent of the crime, and presuming that the truth is eventually uncovered, all those guards would still be dead, having died performing their duty and many, if not all of them legitimately believing they were in pursuit of guilty criminals. Given that flight was a viable alternative, why would the WoL choose to murder innocent soldiers performing their duty?

Problem is that unless the Wol is stupid its obvious that it was set up as a scapegoat considering the Wol had to leave his/her weapons before the chat with the Sultana (not counting the hints here and there that something was amiss between the Crystal Braves), and just a few seconds after the Sultana "dies" a contingent of soldiers appear and instantly is accused as the poisoner culprit to eliminate loose ends. If it werent for plot armor the Wol would have executed shortly after without any kind of defence and his or her body ditched into a nameless grave. They werent going to jail the Wol they were going to straight execute him/her as soon as possible before the public or anyone influential could dig in the situation.

No one said to straight up murder the guards, but to knock them out shouldnt be such an impossible feat. To let them capture him/her was almost suicide on that situation, they werent looking for the true culprit the Wol WAS the culprit, and only punishment awaited (capital one due to regicide plus they wanted to eliminate the political threat the Wol had become do to their "hero" status and afiliation with the Sultana's cause).
