In the dark of the night, several men run out of back allies and throw torches at the manse. They are followed by contingent of Goldcloaks chasing them, halberds lowered to take the arsons from behind.

Ary nodded and held her dragon egg to her chest. "I heard that the maid that told me to go to that place was found dead at the bottom of some stairs. How can such things happen in the Red Keep? No one is safe it seems. And I feel bad that I can't see Aerie, I haven't seen her in some days now and I don't think it will be good for her if I am gone for a long time." Joanna thought about that for a moment. She hadn't seen Aerie in some time, deeming it best to leave her cousin to the care of those who understood her best. "You're right, the kingdom has become a frightening place. It's no wonder poor Aerie is the way she is," she said. " I could go and see how she's getting on. She and I were never close - I always understood Becca better - but I would go, for you. Would that ease your mind?"

"It would, if only you just brought her word that I still care for her and am thinking of her. Thank you. How has everything been going for you?"

"Thank you, well if anything happens at the Red Keep send word would you? I know you don't like going around to to her people but I'm stuck here until my father thinks its safe for me to return to the Keep. Without me Queen Morgan will need you to keep her company more than ever."

Maryn shouts for men to carry Ser Euric back inside and tend to his wounds and shortly goes to his liege's side after corraling the prisoners. He tells two men to quickly send word to Prince Maekar that the attack has been defeated and to relate what happened.

Maryn bowed before the prince, "Ser Euric is.." he shook his head, "Grievously wounded...The gang approached like we prepared for, but..Gold Cloaks joined with the arsonists. We beat them back and took several of the arsonists prisoner, and I took a gold cloak captive. I...don't know how much time Ser Euric has left.."

Heal swiftly, little cousin, and I hope yuor father or Lord Bettley catches whoever did this to you."
