[Lucius Malfoy]

Sigmund rides for Storm's End. He goes into the palace of his brother-in-law. He was warmly welcomed by his sister, Sarya. He smiles at his sister.

Ah Sarya. You are healthy as the day you were born. How are you and my nephews?

The mildly beautiful and smart Sarya smiles at her elder brother as she leads Sigmund to where Gawen was.

The boys are becoming like their father. Strong and stubborn. I feel like I live in a house of bulls. I love them all the same.

Sigmund laughs heartily at that remark and pats her shoulder lightly.

Sarya, father was the Raging Bull himself! You should be used to it.

She smiles and nods. Sarya would knock three times on the door to the main room and walks in.

Gawen, our dear brother has come to pay a visit.

Sarya steps aside, letting Sigmund to approach Gawen. The Chief Bannerman bows respectfully to his brother-in-law.

Good to see you, Lord Baratheon.

[Agamemnon]

Leofrick arrives.

[Adamat]

Harrold Hardyng arrives, bearing banners of House Arryn.

[Narf]

In your answer please state the number of regions you have direct control of.
If you accept we will send back a estimated yearly amount that we would both gain from this agreement.

[Gandalfus]

You are hereby Cordially invited to attend the feast at casterly rock.
sincerely, Henry Lannister

[Gandalfus]

Henry rides to Storms end with a small force of soldiers,staking his claim to the storm lands as Gawens cousin

[Lucius Malfoy]

Sigmund, Regent of the Stormlands and Chief Bannerman arrives as well with his soldiers from Summerhall. He notices Henry there and heads into Storm's End.

[Gandalfus]

Henry shook his head.
Sigimund. I feared it would come to this. However, I have come with a proposition for you. One that works into your favour

[Lucius Malfoy]

Sigmund stops by the gate and looks at Henry.

What is your proposition?

[Gandalfus]

I will let you become lord of the storm lands... Providing you scede a few territories to my authority.
Namely Bronzegate, haystack hall and Felwood. This will leave you with the entirety of the southern storm lands.
In return, a free trade agreement and the alliance I enjoyed with Gawen shall be negotiated. What do you say?

[Lucius Malfoy]

Sigmund looks at Henry, listening to the proposition. Though it would give him command of the Stormlands...what interested the Swann was the three cities mentioned

Why those three territories though? Out of all the provinces of Stormlands, why the most northern three?

[Gandalfus]

henry lowered his voice, so only Sigmund could hear
bronzegates strategical... It protects the storm lands from the kings wrath should you plan anything... Unusual.
It allows me to defend your northern lands, and give you acces up the kings road. It is also a great supply point.

[Lucius Malfoy]

Sigmund's eyebrow goes up slightly as he looks at Henry, keeping his voice low.

An interesting proposal. Now I am even more curious...do you suspect me of something or do you not trust the King himself?

OOC: going to my last exam. Be back in an hour or two.

[Gandalfus]

It is preparing for the inevitable... Some certain parties are bound to be wantin a war... And I will defend the kings road if you decide to get involved

[Lucius Malfoy]

Sigmund looks at Henry for a long time and then pulls on his steed as he approaches Lord Lannister and lowers his voice.

Tell me, Henry...do you support the Tyrells...or wish to have, lets say...a Targaryen upon their rightful throne?

He wondered if Henry would be willing to support their cause or not...and if he did, they would have enough power to take down Tyrion.

[Gandalfus]

Henry strokes his chin, then speaks
the Targaryens kings spared my house... Aegon was merciful. The Targaryens were great. The damn tyrells have rewarded me with little but a sodden badge and mockery by refusing my invitation. I think that speaks for itself

[Lucius Malfoy]

Sigmund grins at this. He shifts slightly and looks at Henry.

Welcome to the fold. Come and join me in the Storm's End where we can discuss our agreement and further...intrigues.

As the new Lord of the Stormlands, Sigmund orders the castle to be open as he enters the home of Gawen...now his home.

[Gandalfus]

I will return to casterly rock so the king does not begin to suspect. Send a raven to our co- conspirators in a months time. I will come
Henry rides off

[Lucius Malfoy]

Sigmund nods slowly.

Keep your tongue behind your lips about this, Henry. And all who are loyal shall be rewarded.
