A raven arrived at Redkeep just now as Varys picked it up and read the letter with quite surprised eyes, quickly noticing another raven landing, and soon after, grabbing the second letter and becoming even more shocked by its contents.

His first move was to leave the room, finding a Kingsguard as quickly as possible while a council was convened due to the information from Varys.

A moment later, all the councillors except for the three members of House Baratheon were present; Renly, who was still assessing and resolving the damages caused by the articano in the Reach, Stannis, who was at Dragonstone organizing the troops and ships, and Robert in his room, drunk.

"Come on, Varys, tell us why this summons. Any news from the..." Jon Arryn spoke, while the king was absent.

"I have two pieces of news, the first from Dorne, Prince Doran tried to meet with Jon Artica," Varys began.

"Those traitors... they're planning something!!" the Queen immediately exclaimed.

"Calm yourself, Cersei, we cannot accuse any great noble so outright without proof," Jon spoke and looked to Varys to continue.

The eunuch sighed and continued, "Jon Artica refused, it seems, but not just that, the Maester of House Martell was murdered by a man they suspect to be a Faceless Man," he said.

"This is absurd, is that savage trying to kill all the Maesters in Westeros?!" Pycelle complained, a bit scared.

He wasn't the only one, after all, Cersei and Littlefinger frowned; they could be next after Jon's promise in his letter.

"Why did he do this?" Jon asked with a dark expression; he had no empathy for Jon Artica, in fact, he saw him as another mad king who must be killed, but this one was even worse because, in addition to his cruelty, he had power and strategy, while he knew very well what to think.

"Well... the Maester might have tried to poison Jon Artica's wife while in Dorne, or even pass information to the Citadel and to pirates, as the fleet that went north before Jon arrived on the west side of the continent, was attacked," Varys commented.

"We are really in a bad situation..." the Lord Commander decided to comment on the issues... "First Oldtown, then what he did in the Sea of Lannisport, the last thing we know is that he destroyed an entire fleet of the Redwynes... a terrible loss for the Reach and for all of Westeros with that..." Barristan was also quite worried, he did not know Jon, but what he did was unimaginable, even in the history of Westeros.

"They are heading north now aren't they?! Where are they?" Jon asked.

Varys nodded before picking up the second letter he received. "They are in Bloodstone," he announced.

"How did he get there so quickly...?!" Littlefinger said with a very worried tone.

"Not only how they arrived, but they have taken over an entire pirate city and are using the place to arm themselves to fight against the fleet coming led by Prince Stannis," he said.

"Read the letter," Jon requested and Varys nodded.

"To the Eunuch who thinks he knows everything..." Varys began, as everyone raised an eyebrow. "Since this information will reach you one way or another, I might as well deliver it myself, we are here in Bloodstone, I've just conquered the city to which your Master of Coin sent a letter offering a large amount of gold for ships to attack us. But I decided to act first, after all, we may have destroyed 200 ships in the west... so we are preparing to destroy another fleet of Westeros... When I am in this war, I will hunt both Littlefinger and Cersei, so I hope you can survive my attacks in the dark. After all, I'm just giving you back what you tried to do to me and my people," Varys read, leaving the room completely silent.
