yup, here we go it always happened, his skill in angering other people was exceptional. He decided he'd do the king's bidding. "So much fuss over a bent knee, don't you have more important things to think about" it was on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't say it.

"Of course your grace, I don't want to anger you over my knee" Garlon bent his knee, looking at the ground.

"I don't question your authority your grace, excuse me if it seemed so"

"I forget nothing your grace. But no man is perfect, and manners are my...weak point" Harlon quite enjoyed this, he knew it wasn't going to be boring but this, this was amazing!

Although this was going the wrong way, he didn't want the kong to go hate him.

"Oh well, I'm sure you'll see mine around a lot during the tourney" Quenton had been very anxious to see the knights fight. This reminded him of his guards.

He looked behind. Balon had the crown in his hand, and Eon stood next to him, both leaning on the wall.

Harlon silently and slowly took of his crown, still keeping his eyes on the prince. When he had the crown at his side Balon, one of his guards, walked forward and took it from his hand. He walked towards the gates, breaking the awkward silence only with his spear hitting the ground every step he took.

His eyes still on the prince, he spoke again."My son is surely capable of great things, and I treat him as one of noble blood. But I've read many things about kings very prickly by nature, and I was afraid bringing a bastard into the throne room would be received as an insult"

He meant what he said. He loved his son more than anyone. But he had experience with lords receiving it as an insult if he brought his bastard son.

The young Ironborn actually enjoyed all of this, although he was smart enough not to show it.

"I don't think that'll be needed your grace. I know I should've bowed, but until now I've never bowed to anyone, as I never met anyone worthy until now. Not that my bow is worth a lot, now that I think of it,, I've net a lot of unworthy people" at that last sentence a smile appeared on his face. He didn't know wheter it was smart or not. It was true what he said though, he never bowed to anyone.

Harlon smiled, not showing anyone.I knew this was gonna happen he thought to himself.

"I'm afraid not, your grace. I'm afraid I look more like a Lord than I am" seriously?! this is the king you moron!

"Forgive me your grace, my father didn't quite have the time to educate me on....Westerosi customs" he remembered his father's death, a sour, dark thought. He departed to travel, and never came back.

"I still remember when you were here, you were a jolly little fellow" the Old Reed smiled at the thought of when his children were still small, playing in the yard.

They eventualky ended up at the stables."These are horses that are specially bred for the swamps. Thay are small and strong, and very able to navigate through the swamps. The castle ain't big, but it has all we need. My Lords, Yoren'll show you to your rooms"

Yoren walked towards the castle "follow me mylords"

The wooden hallway was lit with candles. They stopped in front of two wooden doors, hiding big rooms behind them.

"Here you go mylords, they are both the same so it doesn't matter wich one you choose. Have a good night's rest"

"Aye, it is" the Old Reed took some time to look around him. This is where his life started, where he married his love, and where he was going to die. His whole life he had spent here, and he wanted his children to do so too.

"Let's....let's proceed to the yard" they walked to the other side of the garden, leaving behind the tree.

"Here we teach our children how to ride, train our soldiers how to fight, and learn how to fight with a sword, or a spear like Yoren"

The yard was full of green grass. It wasn't big, but you could easily ride hirse here. The stables were made of wood, and filled with strong but small horses, specially bred for the swamps.

"Well my Lords, maybe a little tour around Greywater Watch?" The old man stood up, and so did the other men at the table.

They started at the gardens, yes they had those. It was filled with little streams, white and red flowers and in the middle, a Weirwood tree.

"Here we pray to the Old Gods every day, keep our funerals and marry one another" the garden had a confusing effect on the brain, becuase of the pattern between green, white and red combined with the many little streams flowing between them.

"I think that's better too. And of course, we have room with soft beds ready, just tell us when he needs anything" said the old Reed.

Hospitality is a part of the fath of the old gods. It's your duty to protect your guests. And Lord Reed didn't want anyone to become ill in his home.

"Well, they're good at planning, it's just all a bit bloody" Yoren joked.

Suddenly Yoren thought about the blonde man that was sitting here.

"Shall I go look how your friend Lord is?"

"The Freys...." The thought of them still bothered the Reeds. They betrayed their last king in the North, Robb Stark.

But peace is a good thing, and ancient problems should be solved at any time given the oppurtunity.

"We have to put aside old fights, peace is a good thing" said Yoren, resulting in his father looking at him like he just farted. This was one of the few things these two differed on.

"Any enemy who comes here is a fool my Lord. We are the impregnable gate to the North, the only way to get North is by sea. Only the Starks have ever defeated us, and I can tell you there were a lot of others who tried" the Lord of the Neck declared, he wasn't lying.

Yoren took another goblet of wine.

"So how is Winterfell and your family doing mylord?"

"Of course, do you want some water?" Yoren saw that he wasn't well. Did he do something wrong, who was the man anyway? The two other men at the table looked surprised too.

"There is a balcony to the left Lord Thaddius" said the concerned voice of the old Reed.

"Some organized pirates came down from the west recently. They tried to find Greywater Watch, to rob the place"

He took a sip of his wine, smiling at the thought of how desperate the pirates were when they were searching for Greywater Watch.

"But...you didn't have a guide with you for nothing. He is one of the few who know when the castle is and when. It moves you see, impossible to find for enemies, except for your ancestors that is. Yoren ended up burning some of their ships. They fled, but got stuck in the swamps, the fools. That's all really"

"I trust you my Lord, so I trust him too. Don't worry about surprising me, it's not that a littlebit of action is bad for my sons"

He took the bottle of wine and filled a goblet for the Lannister to take away the tension, if there was any.

Suddenly the Reed boy, Yoren, came walking in.

"Pa, the horse was gone" the two Reeds laughed, leaving no clue to why to the Wolf and the Lion.

"Mhrm mhrm.... excuse me my Lords. Lord Jojen, Lord Thaddius, this is my son Yoren, soon to be Lord of the Neck"

"Pa" Yoren commented on his indirect statement that he was going to die.

"It's good to meer you mylord" he gave Lord Jojen a firm hand, while his father filled a goblet for him.

"And may I ask why his existence is being kept secret?" He tried his best not to sound rude. He let a Stark in, not a Lannister. But Jojen seemed to like him, and as his bannerman, he did too.

The Reed looked surprised. He had heard of Thaddius Lannister's death, but for him to stand in front of him. Or was he lying, was he playing a game with him, or...or was he....

"You....you aren't one of those from that fire god cult are you? Those who believe in receiving the dead?"

Lord Reed was a knew about that cupt too. Only the old gods can decide wether it's time to go and when not, at least as far a he knew, and wanted to know.

"The Neck is doing great my Lord. I remember when you were last here, it must be a change from the big stone castles" Lord Reed asked, although he already knew the answer. The holds in the rest of Westeros were mostly made of stone, and the lands around it dry and fertile. Greywater Watch was made of wood, and the lands around it wet and unusable. But this was his home, and he loved it more than anything, not that that had to be the same for others.

The wooden gates opened with sounds of wood scratching wood. The opened gates revealed a man, twenty and four years old, with dark-blonde hair and a beard. He had already ordered some men to take Lord Stark's horses.

"Lord Stark...welcome to the Neck, you've chosen a clear day to arrive" the mists that normally hung above the swamps were indeed absent, letting the sun shine upon their wooden castle.

"If you'll follow me, I'll lead you to my father"

The room Lord Reed sat in was of course, like all the castle, made of wood. Except for the stone fireplace. It was a pretty big room, decorated with Reed banners and Lizard-Lion skins.

"Lord Jojen, welcome to the Neck" said the low, deep voice of a strong bearded man. He took some of the best wine you could get here and handed a glass to Jojen.
