Anthony sits at the head of the Table lost in thought as the Lords awnser his summons.
The small man Sven Reed, lord of the neck, left Greywater Watch for the first time in years to attend this meeting. As he was entering, he saw Karl Haigh, who had been told he was not allowed to enter because the meeting was private.
"Please, good sers"
He said softly
"This man shall accompany me to this meeting, as he is one of my trusted advisors"
"Well, look who we have here"
Karl told Sven when they were alone
"I thought I was the adventurer and you the boring lord. It seems that things have changed in my absence"
"Of course things have changed, you bloody dolt. The Dragons and Direwolves have never been weaker. I will forgive you of your crimes to your house on the fact that your father is dead, but only if you help me do some treasonous things"
Karl smiled, and his nod was only seen by Sven
"Long live the lizard-lion"
Karl whispered into Sven's ear
Kilgore, now a Lord since the passing of his father, arrived with his head high and Ser Korey Flint next to him. He had not done it yet, but there was work Kilgore needed to do to secure both his guard and inner circle.
They are all shown into the meeting room with the exception of Karl.
Lord Artair Sain III rodde to the gates of Winterfell. Answering the summons of his Lord, no matter how much he despised the Starks, most of all because they had taken on his son. WHo he had hoped they would have hung.
But Lord Artair Sain III was crafty and loved his position to much to risk angering Lord Stark.
OOC: I apologize for having them both having the same names (Artair IV The Knight and Artair III The Lord, just to clarify)
"Good you are all here. " He says as the various lords settle down. "It is time to address pressing concerns in the realm appoint some of you to my advisor board. First I would like to take questions from everyone."
Kilgore sat silently by his lords right, watching the lords that gathered. Who knew things already, who was clueless
"First I would like to appoint Lord Kilgore Greystark as the marshall of the northren troops. Next I apoint Ser Artair Sain IV as the Marshal of ships. Ser Eland Cassel is being appointed Head of the House hold gaurd while his father Ser Rodney Cassel is the Castialein of Winterfell." He pauses for a moment letting the words sink in.
Kilgore almost let his jaw drop. The single thing that prevented it was hearing Saines name. Artair the son he liked, the father he could not help but dislike. Rumors of his manner and rule that Kilgore had heard were all credits to reasons why he doubted the two would get along.
At the moment however, all he could think was
Marshal of the Northern Army...
Lord Artair Sain III stood up abruptly. "This is OUTRAGEOUS!" froth flowing from his mouth. "My son is a traitor! How can you be such a bloody fool? KIll my son and be done with!"
He cold eyes locked onto Lord Anthony's and he promised himself he would not sit down until he had been answered.
But then he realized what he had just said, and to whom. For the first time in many years.
He was afraid.
"You speak out of turn Lord Sain. If I hear such outbursts again I will throw you in the dungeon for a few days."
Kilgore however was not so polite. Booming voice as usual, he spoke up,
Disrespect your Lord again Saine, and I will have your tongue. He is still your son and you will be sure to remember it. Kilgore said, grey eyes staring at the man. The intensity in his voice was matched by his echo.
"Lord Greystark hold your tongue."
My Lord. Kilgore said, still staring down Sain
Lord Sain smiled viciously. "Then throw me in the dungeons. But I can assure you it will not do much good. Who would be appointed as my successor?" His smile widened. "My son? Whom I banished and branded a traitor? Yes I would love to see him try be Lord."
Turning to Kilgore he said in a hushed tone. "Oh and how is your father? As pathetic as usual I suppose?"
"Lord Sain you are only Lord of White Harbor because I allow it. After Manderlys death I always questioned my grandfather's choice. Your false sentences mean nothing to me I am the ultimate authority in the North. Men let Sain spend a few days in prison."
