Brandon sighs, "Not my best area". He hands Yancey a paper, "Thought you'd like to know this at least". He turns to leave giving Yancey some time to read the note.

Yancey reads it briefly, frowns, then folds it and tucks it away. Then, almost belatedly, he says, "Ah... thank you, Royce. This is more your area of specialty, then?"

"It is," Brandon says nodding slightly. "I'm sure the Queen would know, being her mother's daughter. Though I don't know how much Aranya told her children"

"Perhaps the Crown can make some use of your skills in the future, Royce," Yancey says, "But we already have a Master of Whisperers."

He nods, "I won't be far if you do. Have to stay at court and all. I'd be happy to help, even old men need things to do".

Yancey takes a drink from his mug and grimaces at the taste. "I will keep that in mind."

Monterys falls to one knee when he brought into the presence of the Hand.
"I thank you Lord Hand for agreeing to see me. The reason for my presence is to make another request. Though you and the King have been generous in granting me my ancestral lands, I am informed that Driftmark is still controlled by Lyreon Barclay who is still in rebellion against the Crown.
The young Velaryon paused.
"I would therefore ask, Lord Hand, that I be allowed to bring Driftmark and other of Barclay's holdings back under the Crown."

Monterys shook his head.
"Apart from my squire, none follow me. Until you restored to me my ancestral lands, I was a landless knight. However as you know I have fought in battle and am not inexperienced in the ways of war."

"Then you will be under the command of Lord Stafford. Report to him for your orders," The Hand says.

"Very well my Lord Hand. Where may I find Lord Stafford?"
