Maester Pelleas, please begin with the first matter that needs our attention”. “Now that everyone is here we can begin with the council. Trystane had always respected Lady Wyl, and would always defend her abilities, even when others on the council had expressed their concerns about her age. “There is nothing to apologise for my lady, we are in no rush”. “I am sorry my lords, in my old age the road from Wyl to Yronwood, how ever short, does take it's toll”.
