Derick Rowan stares at his liege lord, his mouth agape.
"Where... where is your honor? Ambushing a man, alone, thirty to one... a man who is the servant of the King all of us have sworn to! What is the meaning of this? How could you?"

"Sworn to him, Storm was the Kings hand around my throat sometimes things are dishonorable but necessary I not asking to condone what I've done but there done. I am your liege lord and you will follow as I have ordered."

William was as ashen faced as Derick, "Craych. Rowan is right that was...... wrong." Sighing, "But Derick he's right we had to remove Storm he was an assassin."

"He was an envoy of the King. The King you swore to obey and serve." Rowan's jaw is set. He turns to face Craych. "And no. I will not follow as you order. Not any more. And as long as I am its commander, this army will not follow you either."

William looked at Rowan, "What are you saying Derick?"

Derick seems to calm down somewhat. He stares at the ground for a moment, but when he lifts his head again his eyes are full of resolve.
"I am saying that I will serve my King, William. This," his arm sweeps to encompass the corpse of Storm and the dead Reachmen, "is dishonor. But it is not too late, Lord Craych. We do not need to go down this path. Please, let us lead this army -- together, against the enemies of the king."

"What loyalty do we owe the King he has done nothing for us, I protected its people by keeping them out of Rodrick's wars, I filled the Mander's pockets with gold from good harvests if we join with the Far reach we can force Rodrick to surrender but if we fight them it will only bring more death, I think one man was worth saving the lives of my people, but if you want to throw more lives away you are the truly dishonourable one."

"So you would side with the Ironborn who killed our men and raped our women at the Shields? You would side with the Far Reach, those who raided our borders?" Rowan spits. "Do not presume to lecture me on honor, Craych."
Derick turns his horse around and rides back towards the army, ten knights following him. The other knights remaining with Craych and William begin muttering and whispering amongst themselves in low tones.

"I do not blame lord Rowan for what he has done, but its necessary to kill Storm." Said Craych to what seemed himself. "Quickly let us ride and pray that he doesn't do anything foolish."
