Some of the Driftmark lords may rally to him, but I think ultimately the challenge will be Dragonstone itself. We understand he's built a large chain across the harbor."

Alexander looks uneasy, he had no love for any of the King's kin they seemed content to use their birth to get special privileges without feeling any need to help support them realm. Alex personally felt you could drown the whole lot of them and the realm would be a better place although he had the sense not to share this feeling with anyone.

"Is there any way to resupply the keep other then by sea?" Alexander asks, "If not perhaps we can just starve them out. If he has any size army they will quickly run out of provisions."

Its a sizeable island, can it not support numerous men on its own?"

Alexander nods, "Perhaps, but its winter, my grace, chances are they have not had time to plant and with the threat of invasion they may not spare their small folk to plant. If they do then we can send infiltrators on the island and burn the fields before they come to harvest. A few spies would be easier then a full company. There is always a way my grace."

"What size fleet and army does the Prince have?" Alex coughs, "I apologize but I am not fully read into this affair yet."
