The Princess nodded, "As you know, your grace, My Lord Wyl wrote to your brother Prince Maekar regarding some incursions onto his lands from Stormlanders. I counseled Wyl to patience, since I was sure that any such raiders were merely bandits. It seems now however, he has evidence that this is not the case."

"I of course, did not believe him, which is why I thought it important to be here, when he reveals his evidence. Lord Wyl should be on his way to Storm's End shortly, I believe. Your grace will be willing to grant him an audience when he arrives?"

If you wish it." Daemon replied with a smile, "I understand how it difficult it must be for you to control your leigemen. They must lie quite often for you to trust him so little."

Ariadne laughed, "They never lie to me, your grace, but if I were to have said that I believe him without question, well, that might imply that I believe some of your relatives are being dishonest with you, and that would be really rather undiplomatic of me," She says sweetly.

Princess Ariadne takes the wine, while Lord Wyl refuses. Most of the small council, except Farman, take a glass, as does Becca Thatcher who smiles bemused.

"may be begin where we left off your grace?" The Princess asks with a pleasant smile.
