he shrugged
Perhaps in a few weeks time?
Aye, sounds about right. Be prepared for a glorious day Young Lion. Hopefully it can be a day avoidant of all pointless politics but I'm sure that will not be the case.
Vayne said realistically. The stink of opportunistic political movers and shakers was always present during such events, this would be no different
he smiled and wolfed down some bacon.
That never happens, my lord. There is always politics present in such events.
Precisely what was on my mind. Well they will try but I am tired of Royalty games. Politics bore me. Rulers, Rule. Not allow ourselves to be troubled with politics and ass kissing. It may well be why most high Lords pay little attention to our doings recently. I am rather contented by that fact actually.
Vayne said politely.
He chuckled.
I hear that the only man of authority in the Capital is the regent, and he does not wield it very well. Not his fault, to be sure, his position balances precariously due to who the small council favours.
Aye and what is the word on who they favor now? I've heard your father is too direct at times to be loved by the counsel, though respect he does not lack.
Vayne said quietly
He smiled.
only the seven know, lord Baratheon.
The regent can... Over react, sometimes, no?
Well he did on that occasion, though I have only seen him once after. Funny thing, I watched him almost throw a holy man in prison. He was not regent then however, he was rather new to court still. Vayne said smirking
The recent years have not been kind to the Targ royal family.
he chuckled
Alas, we must all do our duty to the realm.
To the realm, yes..... But not this Regent I think.
Aye, true that is. I wonder....
Vayne was then interupted by his maester bearing an envelop. It was opened and his maesters demeanor was grave. Vayne read it and smiled softly.
speaking of duty, it seems they are summoning the Lord Paramounts to war. Apparently there has been an invasion
Vayne said rather matter of factly
