Prince Aldric arrives to speak with Toland, "She is still North for the Queen's coronations."

Duncan bows to his prince, then grunts in weary acceptance of Aurora's continued absence. He still didn't much like Aldric and he doubted the prince liked him, but Lord Toland's face is serious.
"I have heard ill news, Prince. Is it true? About Princess Ariadne?"

Aldric smiled darkly, and he shook as he raised his wine glass, "It is why I have been drunk for three days."

Duncan felt a wash of sympathy for the young Martell. "It isn't right," Toland grunts, then scowls fiercely. Anger was easier to manage than fear. "Whoever did this is a sick bastard. If there is any way for my house or I to help, we are at your service, Your Highness."

"Can't think of a fucking one besides burning the fuck hole of King's Landing to the ground." Aldric muttered as he drank from his wine bottle.

"You think it was someone from King's Landing, Your Highness?" Duncan asks.

"Of course. They are fucking black hearts and murderers." He spat.

Duncan thought that was probably the wine talking, but it was near enough to true nonetheless. Sunspear had its fair share of back alley thieves and cheating merchants and scheming courtiers, but King's Landing had all those ten times over and Duncan always kept his sword close to hand when visiting the capital.
"Might be, Prince." He frowns. "I hear talk of war on the horizon, too. Where does Dorne stand?"

"Fucking war.... where ever Aurora sees the most advantage." Aldric gasped, "I fucking hate her."

Duncan coughs awkwardly, aware that most of the servants in the room would report every word back to Aurora. "I'm sure she'll do what is just," Toland says, somewhat unconvincingly.

Aldric laughed, and turned away. He leaned heavily against a wall, "Is there anything else?"

"No, Your Highness," Duncan bows respectfully. "I'll leave you be."

Aldric stumbled off quietly.
