“I never wanted Cressen at that feast. He’d angered me, yes, he’d given me bad counsel, but I did not want him dead. I’d hoped he might be granted a few years of ease and comfort. He had earned that much, at least, but” he ground his teeth together-”but he died. And Pylos serves me ably.” “Pylos is the least of it. The letter... What did your lords make of it, I wonder?” Stannis snorted. “Celtigar pronounced it admirable. If I showed him the contents of my privy1, he would declare that admirable as well. The others bobbed their heads up and down like a flock of geese, all but Velaryon, who said that steel would decide the matter, not words on parchment. As if I had never suspected.

One of many.” He raised his eyes. “You have more to say about the letter. Well, get on with it. I did not make you a knight4 so you could learn to mouth empty courtesies. I have my lords for that. Say what you would say, Davos.” Davos bowed his head. “There was a phrase at the end. How did it go? Done in the Light of the Lord...” “Yes.” The king’s jaw5 was clenched6. “Your people will mislike those words.” “As you did?” said Stannis sharply. “If you were to say instead, Done in the sight of gods and men, or By the grace of the gods old and new...” “Have you gone
