It was a cold afternoon, Edwyd was dining in an inn by the road towards Old Oak, a settlement recently raided and captured by the Ironborn. Edwyd was already in the foul mood, being probably sent to his death to negotiate with people who are more of beasts than men, but it was his duty and he had no intentions of slacking. He drank a glass of wine and was about to storm off to bed... when something rather interesting happened. A small and ugly creatured entered in and intercepted him.
"I believe you are the person who represents house Tyrell in the upcoming parlay at Old Oak, no?"
"And who might you be?", asked Edwyn, already guessing a Greyjoy diplomat though
"Bewin Tawney, I was sent here to... "
An idea immediately came a cross Edwyd's mind at that moment..
"Wait, what did you say your name was again?"
"Bewin Tawney, why?"
"Tawney? OOhhhh yes I understand now. We have been expecting you, you're that double agent guy no? I knew lord Tyrell implemented some of his best people into Ironborn courts. But let us talk somewhere more privately, we don't want people overhearing things.. "
He could see the utter look of confusion on Bewin Tawney's eyes. Good, he thought, he's not very bright.
"What do you mean a double agent?"
"Well... it's because of your family, no?"
"What do you know about my family?"
"Come on... we from the court know it. Your father was from The Reach."
"I never knew my father"
Excellent
"But we did, he grew up in Highgarden, he was friends with Mace Tyrell himself.... he was captured by the Ironborn during one of the raids a few decades back. They were torturing him and pulling information, he was in a dungeon when your mother... "
"What about my mother? She was just a handmaiden to lady Goodbrother... "
"... WHICH IS WHY she was at Hammerhorn, where your father was captured! She was sneaking down into dungeons to talk to him. She never met a men from the inlands before. One night she helped him escape, they fell in love, slept together and had a wonderful boy....."
"M-m.... me you mean?"
"Yes, you!", Edwyn kept convincing him
"But what happened to my father then? Mother never told me... "
"He tried sneaking you off from the iron islands back to the Reach, where you could have a better life as a family. The ironborn found him and killed him, but your mother managed to hide the two of you well and write to lord Mace. He said you would be more than welcome at Highgarden, but it could never happen, not until now. See, you were led to believe that you are an iron islander, when in fact you are NOT. You are one of us!"
"Damn... this..... this is a lot of information to process."
This guy is dumb, Edwyn thought.
"Join us, come with me on this diplomatic mission and I will let you come with me back to Highgarden. I'm quite sure your father had money there as well, being close friend with the most powerful man in the South has it's benefits!"
"Yes, yes I will do that! Thank you!"
And thus, one more agent acquired for Tyrell cause...
