While you are thinking for a few moments you can hear Eon yelling at some men and talking to others. Tyler puts his hand to his chin and appears to be thinking for a few moments. "May I sit?" he says point to a chest. "This may take a little bit."Tyler sits and continues "I know you know the general jist of the situation between King Daeron and Prince Daemon. This situation is made worse by the fact that the King has been on the Throne for ten years, but he has not married or have an heir. His younger brother is his heir, but there is something not right about him. If the King were to die, I don't think the Viserys would sit on the Iron Throne. The noble lords would not support him.""The situation is different with King Daeron. He has been in power to long. He has made many political allies. Many families both small and Great have to much riding on the current king. But he has had to keep Prince Daemon close. Since the day he took power he was forced to have Daemon on his Small Council. Daemon holds a lot of power being the Master of Laws. He is probably second only to the King's Hand.""As to war, no one knows. Of late the King has become more irrational and 'unstable', if that is the best word to describe it, but he has started to make decsions without consulting the Small Council or the Hand. I fear that he will make a decsion that will lead to war. Many of the Houses talk of war and lines are being drawn. I would say a something is going to start a fire and no one is going to be able to put it out.""As for Prince Daemon, I do not know the man. But from what I have heard he does not covet the Iron Throne. This is rumor, but from what I have heard he wishes to find a way to prove that King Daeron is the son of the Dragonknight. If he can then the King would have no choice but to step down. The King would be a bastard child of a Kingsguard, not the King. Let alone the repercussions of the Kingsguard issue.""As for the Great Houses. Many wish to go to war. They simply wish to gain more power and rid themselves of enemies. The only houses that are for sures is House Arryn. They have been loyal to the King since the day he took the Throne. I know your House for example houses the son of the Prince Daemon. But I know also that your father is wise and will side with the side he feels is legitamit and honorable. House Baratheon has always supported the King, but as I have said as of late the King has made rash decsions, especially in regards to Dorne. The Baratheons hate the Dornemen, but the King has been talking and working with the Dorne recently. The Tyrells are the sameway, they have suffered Dornish raids for centuries and do not like them, but at the same time the Reach is a little kingdom by itself. Politics and such have been played out and will continue.The Tully's, Lannister's, and Greyjoy's who know where they stand.""That is the short version. So to answer your question: is a war coming? Yes but the question is when and who starts it. Prince Daemon will not, I would have said the King would not either, but now I don't know."</blockquote>
