"I told him," she said. "And then I married him."

Talyn made a face,
"I see. How did he take it?"

"Not well, to begin with,. That's why we had to marry so quickly," Rhaenys explained. "I managed to persuade Eustace to stand with us so then I had to bind him to me."

Talyn rolled his eyes.
"Alright."

"So...I think it's time to proceed, don't you?"
For once, she looked almost happy.

"Then let us make the announcement shortly. Although, is there anything else that I should know? I hear that Aegon is now in possession of Kings Landing."

Talyn bite his lip, "Yes, I am taking steps to remedy that. I sent a messenger to bring him to a war conference so we could discuss how best to make use of him, his troops and his skills. His gate guards refused to allow my man to bring his message, and refused to accompany him back for the meeting. I then went myself, to speak with him, and was again refused. I dispatched my forces to establish control, under the command of Ser Vincent Darry, so we'll soon have the matter resolved one way or the other."

Rhaenys frowned. She was fed up with Aegon and his impertinence.
"Did he give a reason for his refusal to cooperate with you?"

"He refuses to even admit he's present, even though my messenger described the banner being flown, and frankly, he's the only one who COULD be present. The bastard of Gate guard that Aegon had stalling me showed up, claiming to be in command. I had him briefly detained, and then sent him away."

"Damn him. Aegon has got too big for his boots. He always was, but this is worse than anything. I know the city needs rebuildng, but it was not Aegon's place to start it. We could have used his men elsewhere. Would it help matters if I were personally to intervene?"

"I think it's a little late for that, your grace," Talyn said, "The orders have already been given. Afterwards however, your words may be of value."
