Trystane and the King

[whatever]

Prince Trystane comes to see the King after being told he is the new Master of Laws.

[whatever]

Prince Trystane bowed as he entered before he took the seat he was offered.

"Thank you for seeing me, Your Grace. I am here since I've just recieved the news from your brother, Prince Maekar."

[The Smith]

Daemon nodded, "I sent runners for you as well, but apparently they could not find you."

[whatever]

"I was out on taking a walk, then I stopped at the training yard for a while and had just sitten down to dinner when Prince Maekar arrived with the news and papers for me."

He steeled himself as he spoke next.

"Though I am here to tell Your Grace that I can not accept the position that you have granted me."

[The Smith]

Daemon frowned, "And why not?"

[whatever]

"I don't feel that I have earned the right to sit on the Small council, and especially not as Master of Laws. There must be a lot of other men in the realm better suited for a position like this, Your Grace."

[The Smith]

"I find myself lacking a man I can trust. You have not proved yourself yet that is true, but you have not conspired against me. And your father was a good man. Your family is strong. You must accept the position." Daemon replied.

[whatever]

"Then why not give the position back to my father? He did a good job for all those years."

[The Smith]

Daemon frowned, "You have been asked to serve by your King. Need this go on?"

[whatever]

"I feel honored for being asked, Your Grace, but I like I said I can't serve you in that way, I wouldn't do a good job since my mind would be elsewhere at all times."

[The Smith]

Daemon asked quietly in a hard voice, "If I commanded you to charge a thousand men alone would you tell me no as well?"

[whatever]

Prince Trystane sat quiet for a moment, before he opened his mouth to say something. He could feel his heart beat hard in his chest and he felt sweaty.

"Yes, Your Grace. That would just be throwing away my life."

[The Smith]

Daemon stared at his, his eyes beginning to burn. "I needed to replace Maekar because of this trial. You will take up the position until after this matter has been decided. Then if you think it wise, you can come ask me the boon of accepting your resignation."

[whatever]

"I will accept to sit in on the trial if I am allowed to resign after the trial is over."

[The Smith]

Daemon stood, "You will accept with out condition or we can have a walk out to speak with the dragons. Who do you think you are bargaining with me?"
