King's Landing meeting

[Imry Willfyre]

The meeting between Breck and the representative of the Empress.

[The Stranger]

The White Masked Envoy stole into camp, and entered the Command tent of Dondarrion, taking his guards unaware.

"her Imperial Majesty did not understand your asking price, and has sent me to confirm it." He said simply, in perfect Westerosi.

[Imry Willfyre]

"I will offer support to her Imperial Majesty, but now is not the right time to do so. To the east is an exiled family of dragon Kings called the Targaryens. They ride gigantic fire-breathing beasts called dragons, and have set it their goal to reclaim their land. If the Empress stays here she will risk her life, and even if she wins she will do so at a great cost. If she pretends to surrender her host, she may do so and sail to Braavos, where the Targaryens reside with their dragons. The Empress will have the support of my troops if she returns, sailing into Storm's End I will fake a surrender to her troops. My price is that I be granted one of the dragons, if and when she kills the Targaryens herself. They have no great army but their beasts. My second term is that I be made King, as I said, and that all other claimants to the throne be killed. Then I will serve the Empress faithfully as her obedient servant." He said all this in a hushed voice as to not be overheard by a soul but the envoy.

[The Stranger]

The Envoy yawned.

"Your talk of fire lizards is nonsense and tom-foolery. I thought you had a real offer. When our host blows its trumpet three times, Have you men assault the rear of the Golden Roses. They will be utterly decimated by such a tactic. At our victory ceremony, you shall marry our Queen, and being your Dondarrion Dynasty. You have blood of Kings, your pathetic peasants will accept it. That is the best offer. This talk of lizards and false Kings from far away, is idle chatter not suitable for men of action."

[Imry Willfyre]

"You have caught me in a lie then. I can offer nothing more than I have already, and accept nothing less than what I have offered. Please leave now."

[The Stranger]

"You Westerosi men are fools." The Envoy said, disappearing from the tent.
