Horas nods. "A few others must be told. I think Rhodri will need to know. He must be prepared to join with us when the time comes to strike. I will tell my cousin Warren as well. Other than that..." Horas considers. "I am not sure. The circle should be small, but it might be useful to bring more in."

"Though..." Horas stops when a servant comes in and hands a letter to Horas and Piers. "Hmm. If we have Felryn's support, this may not be necessary."

"I will not give Harlaw that position. Will you?" Piers asks.

"He wants it for his pet," Horas says, "Anassi is the man's name. I do not want him or trust him, and I have no doubt he is inferior to Varner, but if this is the difference between the Ironborn declaring for us or Andry I can stomach him."

Piers looks at Horas, "What do you know of this Anassi, Lord Horas?"

"A eunuch hailing from Asshai. A close friend of Felryn Harlaw's, for reasons unknown to me. A quiet man. Sources say he is a scholar sorts, but is a stranger to intelligence work. And there are darker rumors as well, that he binds shadows to his will and calls demons from the Seven Hells."

"I have heard those as well. If a man has those abilities, and was in Keyce several months ago. That man needs to die." Piers replied.

"That man is perfectly capable of dying after we have defeated Andry and the situation has stabilized," Horas responds. "I do not plan to let him keep the position for long. But he is the price we must pay for now."
"And there has been more heartening news. I recieved word from my cousin. Tallahar Tyrell has declared against Andry. The Mander rides with us."

"Well then this is over." Piers nods.

"It has not even begun, Piers. The Vale must raise an army. Twenty thousand should suffice. They can join with Warren's Riverlanders and lay siege to King's Landing while Tallahar occupies Dorne in the south. Shall we apply affirmatively to Harlaw, then?"

"If we have the Mander then Harlaw can suck an egg. If Banefort promises us the West, there is no hope for the Stormlands and Dorne." Piers nods, "Soon the North and the Far Reach will be declaring for us a moment before the war ends."

"Ifs and more ifs," Horas says, "I prefer insurance. Tell Harlaw that if he strikes Dorne, the Stormlands, or King's Landing, his pet will have his position. We can deal with him afterwards. Rejecting Harlaw outright will throw him straight into Andry's arms."

Piers rolls his and shook his head, "I guarentee. But I will allow you to give out that position if you wish. I let you before."

"Shall I phrase it differently for you Piers? Your enemies are easier to kill when you keep them close. I will send the raven."

Piers laughed, "I agreed did I not."

Hope you all are well and happy.
