Jonas Westerling arrives, with a small personal guard (25 Men) and a few other knights. His men are armed, yet they carry the banner of truce.

Ser Marten arrives, accompanied by group of Knights, including Walter Plumm. His men set a tent while he unseats his horse and approaches Jonas Westerling warily, with dark look.
"Lord Westerling"- He says, studying his reactions.

Jonas' eyes are cold, but he nods, "Ser Marten, it is nice to see you again."

"Same for you, Lord Jonas."- Marten nods with blank face. "May we speak privately?"

A group can be made out approaching from a distance. Within a few moments, Cedric and Clive Lannister make their way to the Parlay tent.

Marten and Jonas enter the tent alone.
Marten sits and offfers Lord Jonas wine, keeping his eyes on him all the time.
"You did what is necessary for the good of the West and your people, I understand?"

"I am a practical man, and will do what is best for my men and for the West. But I will tell you this, Randal was as good a friend to me as any, no. He was like a brother to me. What you did to him I will never truly forgive, I will serve you, but I will not forget what you did." His eyes blaze, but then he nods, "But, as I said, I am a practical man, so what terms do you have?"

Marten stares at him, leaning back in the chair.
"I didn`t wish to become Kinslayer, believe me. Randal was involved in a death of my wife and the situation became worse when he came here just after this. It came to the point when either him or I had to die, Randal wouldn`t allow a threat like this to persist." -He sighs, than his gaze and voice become more intense.
"As Randal`s son, it was Michael`s duty to avenge his father. And as you say that Randal was like brother to you, your duty was to help him kill me. It is true, though, that Michael went with his plan in a quite clumsy way, and you sacrificed him to save yourself and your men, one duty over another. But why should I believe you that you won`t seek revenge when there is occasion? Why do you wish to serve me? Do you think that I plan to be Lord of the Rock?"- His smiles darkly with a last sentence.

"I plan to make this clear, I serve the proper Lord of the West, be that Lady Jeyne, be that Lady Bendicta, be that fucking you. I will continue to serve whoever the rightful Lord or Lady is. I can not and will not forgive you for what you did to Randal, but, as I am a practical mind, I know I cannot attempt to gain my revenge upon you while you are in such a position. And there are other enemies that I believe also should be held responsible, and I need the full backing of the West to remove them.
My Terms: I offer you my services, as a skilled warrior and a general who served under Randal and Baldwin before him. I offer you the army of Michael Lannister, which I am to command.
For this, you let me and my men live, with no foul having been commited, and when the crisis is over, you let us return to our homelands with our rank and honor intact. What do you say of these terms?"

"Yes, there are others responsible, and I will make sure they pay." -Speaks Marten enigmatically.
"Of course, if you killed me you would likely have to kill my father and brothers as well. Revenge is a vicious thing, and maybe sometimes it needs to be put aside. I accept your terms. You will help me enforce an agreement that will ensure peace in the West. And I don`t plan for myself to be the Regent, it will likely be Cedric, but under conditions, so it can be universally accepted. Do you swear to back me in this?"

"I do, Ser Marten. May our alliance bear fruits, for all of us."

Benedicta had waited in the wings, but upon receiving the new messages from Lord Piers, she looked to Marten and Jonas.
"Well. Shall we demobilize our grand army?"
