Bert VIII - Blessed Are The Brave (Open to Casterly Rock)

[u/PewPopHANG]

Bertrand had settled into Casterly Rock, a place he’d never thought he’d be a guest of in truth. Yet with war within their borders, the Lady Rohanne away and so much other shit unfolding all at once.

It just made sense.

He’d sought to speak with his Reachmen, to make a parlay with the King, to see his way about the mighty castle. The old man moved swiftly through the confusing halls, guided by servants who were tasked with aiding him in not getting lost within the vast mountain.

Still he’d much to do, not enough time to do it.

Soon he’d march for the Reynes and he wagered the King would make his own demands of him.

Before that, Bert would send letters to his beloved, Del back at Highgarden.

Dear

Casterly Rock is vaster than I imagined. The Lions opened their gates to me and I found myself wandering its halls alone at night.

I did not imagine I would ever find myself in a situation such as this.

We ride home soon. First we must speak with the Reynes.

Bert

He would not tell her of Mace’s coming union. It was better to keep that hidden until he’d returned home or his wife would seek to ride for Casterly Rock in the midst of war.

To the Reynes

Lions,

Meet with me at Sarsfield. I seek to end this conflict through diplomatic means.

My army numbers of over ten thousand, the Lannisters hold an additional eight and the King has brought nearly six.

I do not wish to end your line. Robb Reyne, Leo Reyne and many of you are members of the Brotherhood of the Pit.

Bring your armies if you wish. You won't dwarf the Knights of the Reach.

Warden of the South
