"Ser Ryam was a strong Lord Commander of the Kingsguard. But he was ill for some time. He passed in peace, I hope." Viserys said as he remembered his late lord commander. 

"Yes, Your Grace. He was found to have passed gently in his sleep. His remains are being prepared by the Silent Sisters." Maelor said as Lynman spoke as well. 

"The succeeding Lord Commander, Ser Harrold, would like to make haste in finding Ser Ryam's replacement on the Kingsguard."

"Your Grace. My lords. The Kingsguard must soon be restored to its full complement of seven. With the help of the Hand, I've invited a number of fine candidates to court." Ser Harrold said as Corlys entered the council meeting.

"All have passed fair trials. Four ships have now been lost. The last one was flying my banner. The Stepstones have now grown into a conflagration, yet you sit here and dither about court business." Corlys said demanding the king. 

"If you've something to discuss, Lord Corlys--" Otto tried to speak but Corlys quickly cut him off. 

"I want to know what is to be done about my ships and my men." 

"The Crown will compensate you for your ship and crew, and make an offering to the men's families." Otto told him. 

"I don't want compensation. I want to seize the Stepstones by force and burn out this Crabfeeder." Corlys said as he worried over his people. 

"I am not prepared to start a war with the Free Cities." Viserys told Corlys. 

"These pirates are not the Free Cities." Corlys argued. 

"Who do you think provides them with their ships and tender?" Viserys asked him. 

"In all of its history, my lord, the Seven Kingdoms have never entered open war with the Free Cities. Were that to happen, the losses would be incalculable." Lynman said as Corlys walked toward him. 

"What reason does the Crabfeeder have to fear us? The King's own brother has been allowed to seize Dragonstone and fortify it with an army of his gold cloaks. Daemon has squatted there for over half a year without even a protest from The Crown." Corlys told them all.
