25th Day of the 5th Moon

Winterfell, The Kingdom of Winter

"I want the extra shipment of goods to be ready to go to Highgarden as soon as possible. We have much work to do and I want to get strong roots in the Keep."

The man before him made a note in his leather bound book. Desmond pulled it from his hand and ripped the page from the book. He crossed the room and used a candle on his desk to burn the page.

"No written record of the items. Just tell me their supplies will be delivered."

They will be delivered my Lord.

"Good now go get it done. Inform the recipients they are to begin their work."

The man nodded and left. Before the door could completely close a small girl made her way inside.

"Lord Forrester, the letter you asked for has arrived from Ironrath."

She held out the letter and Desmond opened it and looked across the paper. The words brought a smile to his face. He now would have something to do while waiting for yet another wedding. He reached into his pocket and produced a small bag of coins. He pulled out five copper pieces and handed them to the girl who bowed and backed from the room. When she was gone Desmond looked to his guards.

"You may leave. Fetch Lady Mormont. Let her know when she has a moment I was hoping to speak with her."

Finally alone he laid the letter down. It was from Master Glover. Pulling a quill and ink form his desk he sat down and studied the letters.
