"... so it clearly doesn't make sense to hold the King and his supporters to account for what Lady Mya said, any more than it wouldn't make sense for me to blame Ser Daemon for the deeds of the beasts Otho and Balon."
Ashara was strolling through the market, arm in arm with her betrothed Ser Quentin. Or maybe it was a magical walking portrait, who could tell the difference? Ashara was talking enough for the both of them though, and just loud enough that others couldn't help but overhear. Surely no one would be so crass as to intentionally eavesdrop, would they?
"You will be lord in time, and you must be ready. That means you must learn to identify your true enemies from those who merely spew falsehoods in the heat of an argument. I know your mother means well in her guidance, but you will not always be able to rely on that. If you are to truly lead, you must learn to speak with your own voice."
Or mine.
"The false knights should be punished. Did you see what the Bracken did in his duel with Ser Daemon? Clearly they have no honor and at minimum should not be allowed to compete in honorable contests, if not worse. Hold Otho and Balon accountable for their words and deeds, not Ser Daemon; Hold Lady Mya accountable for her words, not the King. House Cordwayner wouldn't want to make enemies of my family, would you? That could delay or even prevent our marriage, and surely no one wants that."
You might not like that, but I'd be willing to bet that your mother would.
