Rycherd Tyrell entered the throne room behind Lord Brax. Naturally the King was to be found seated on his golden throne, embossed with lions. Near Kyle were standing a number of Goldlands lords.

The throne is set near the back of the hall, because kings don't like people behind their backs. There are people from all the Goldlands present, of course, the Small Council and the Kingsguard, and forty or so other men of note. It seems a fairly routine day at court.

"Your Grace." said Rycherd formally, giving his cousin a short formal bow. "I have come to appraise you of the situation in the south, particularly in relation to the Dornish and the Faith Militant."

He stood near his brother, Leonard. He had on a silver tunic with a purple unicorn rearing. He nodded to Tyrell.

The lords murmur in regards to the old news of war and the Faith, and Kyle nods. "Indeed, Lord Rycherd, what are your observations of this new Marshall?"

"Ser Jonarth appears to be a pious man who is determined to spread the Faith into the lands of the heretics." replied Rycherd. "He says not necessarily by war. I fail to see how else that might be done though."

"They never say they want war," Kyle says. "Start with reasonable-sounding talk so they can fan the flames more than they should. They would be better advised to tend to souls and leave the politics to me." He looked aggravated.

"Indeed. Their attack on Blackhaven was ill-advised and even if they took the castle, which they did, the castle was going to prove difficult to hold." he replied.
"Political matters in the south appear to be in our favor though. Alliances have been forged with Yronwood and Oldtown. The Faith appears secure at Summerhall. Lord Oberyn's death was a blow and while the new Lord Aaron appears not to be the man his father was, I think the alliance will still prove useful."

"The Yronwoods are broken, are they not?" Kyle noted. "And the Hightowers are your own bannermen. the Faith is secure because King Derek saw no sense in razing it to the bloody ground, not because of any strategic good sense on their part.""

"The Hightowers have the potential to go their own way." replied Rycherd.
"Indeed it was they seeking an alliance with Dorne for what purpose I do not know. Now my sister is Lady Yronwood they could be our foothold in Dorne. As for Derek, his minions did not wish to fight my forces. In the end though, I had no choice but to move to protect Summerhall."

"If they have the potential, make sure they do not have the ambition." he said sternly. "Nothing is worse than an unruly banner man. Pardons, my King for intruding."

Rycherd turned a steady gaze on Lord Brax.
"As I was saying to His Grace, the Hightowers are now bound to the Tyrell cause. My sister will be the next Lady Hightower."

"I am happy for you, my lord. I'm sure she will be happy." he shifted his weight and his expression showing no emotion.

"We should all be happy." replied Rycherd shortly. "Our southern border is secure. I have plans to further strengthen the bonds between Dorne and the Goldlands that I shall need to discuss later with my cousin"
He turned to Kyle with a wolfish smile.
"But enough of that here. What is this I hear of a tourney in Kings Landing?"
