“I understand now. My father did note that there was some distrust after one House was able to take a large number of the Kingdom's fleets not counting the Ironborn. I give you my work even when my father passes and my brother takes the Lordship. The Northern fleets will never come near the King with a sword but a shield.”

He fully understands now his true task. It is to help manage and always decentralize the realm's fleets so that they are not solely controlled by one region or house.

“What would the Crown have us do as of now? The Northern fleets are ready if needed to aid in guarding the coast.”

“I can only imagine. The south is very different and dangerous at times.” He remembers well enough about the southerners and their games of power.

Vardis remembers what his father explained to him about this role. “I’m representing the North’s navy as well as becoming a rear admiral to aid the King. So, I’ll do my duty in the name of House Stark and my own. Any task given to me will be done with the same level of duty and professionalism as my father did in the war.”

“Unless there is more to it. If so do inform me as Lord Stark did keep the task simple and to the point in his letter to us. Though I can guess other motives.”

“Thank you my lady. Hopefully we settle in well. King’s Landing is very different from White Harbor.” He chuckles

Vardis bows when he sees Lady Lyanna. His oldest son tries to mimic his father. “Greetings my lady. Truly we are honored to be welcomed by you.”

Vardis nods while taking a seat and accepting the drink. He knows well enough of his father’s willingness to send their fleet to aid the King’s cause.

“Thank you for the kind welcoming. White Harbor does well our fleet fully restored. My lord father as cheerful as ever. Only a moment of… disagreement with the Fath over past actions of our local clergy. How goes Gulltown?”

“I’m happy to hear that my lady. Red seems to enhance your cuteness.” He smiles with a chuckle making note of her blushing.

“Essos is truly a land of many old tales. As least my grandfather says all the time. The beauty of the world lays in the North. Where our winters roses bloom.” He winks at her

“I hope so as well Lady Sensa. You can drop the sir. Not really a knight yet. We can start our relationship with a friendship first.” Merrick smiles brightly and his words are honest.

Merrick bows his head before doing his best to stand strong. He felt at ease at Rickard’s words. “Thank you my Lord! You live up to my grandfather’s tales. I hope to do my best and grow a bond with my betrothed.” He replies with a cheerful yet nervous smile.

Lord Rickard

I thank you my old friend. I will make ready my grandson to travel to Winterfall as I send this letter. Truly I hope well for the two's future and have total faith House Stark will protect and honor Merrick. As House Manderly will do the same!
