The Promise of Support
When you return, Maester Lucas reads the letter. "The question is, does King Tommen mean his promise of support? Or was it an expedient thing to say?"

"What do you think, Maester? Will King Tommen risk his men to defend House Goldfoot?"
"This is a measter's hand," Maester Lucas observes. "Tommen is still locked in his rooms. No doubt Kevan Lannister had a maester draft this letter."
"Tommen won't do anything until Margaery is free. And the Hand won't send his men to war."
"Rona? Have we heard anything from Jayne? What's happening in the capital?"
Rona frowns, worried. "All I've heard from Jayne is that Queen Cersei returned to the Red Keep. King Tommen has still withdrawn from court."
"We should send the Hand our own petition, citing House Goldfoot's crimes against us."
"Jon, Ella, this is your home too. The Goldfoots are your enemies. Should we heed this?"
"It's gone too far. If we retreat, Goldfoot will retaliate," Jon says, but Ella wavers. "Tommen still commands a great army. Do we want to risk it?"
"Maybe we should offer Deityr Goldfoot terms."

Maester Lucas nods. "Even if the king authorized the letter, it's doubtful that he has the resolve to carry through."
Rona nods. "Perhaps Lucas can draft one. If we're both clamoring in his ear, Kevan Lannister is likely to cut us loose to solve our own problems."
