I recommend we disband the King's men."

Durran sat and contemplated for a time, checking over figures from his ledger. "Is there a substitute for removing the King's largest personal guardforce? Why not lower the number of goldcloaks on patrol or drop their monthly salaries? Disbanding the King's Men is just asking for trouble."

For centuries the King did not have these men."

The King's Men are cheap and efficient."

If we want to give that job to the King's men, and disband that Goldcloaks I will support that."

Lower their salaries by a tenth and you'll have enough to maintain the King's Men and give them each a decent -raise-."

"My point was that the Goldcloaks who guard the king, and enforce order in the city are more important then just a military organization who only guards the king." Cedric replied. "If we must we can give command of the Goldcloaks to the Lord Commander."

One can be served to check and keep in balance the other."

Cedric replied.

Perhaps we should think of a better project to earn back the King's wealth." Durran turns to Rickon.

But I assume you can think of no one way to cut our spending or you would have recommended that."

What say you your grace?", Durran said, turning to the King.

Tytos: I know this is distasteful, but I've been invited to a new RP on a Discord server, discord.gg/xnjMU it's gonna be a little more casual than these forums, no combat system and more player-driven Jan 23, 2017 22:07:20 GMT -5
