No . and December 22 . <| sep |> Never , answered Orys , with a fervent shake of his head . Never . I would never use the death of your son for my own gain . The very thought of doing such a thing repelled the bastard , though he would not voice his anger at being accused of such a dishonourable thing in front of the Tarly . Selmond ' s death still haunted him , to this day he could only imagine what pain Owen still felt . I did not come here to buy you , Lord Tarly . I know enough of your proud and noble House to know that such a thing would be foolish , and doomed to fail . I came here out of a desire to seek forgiveness for my sins , and to inform you of what this Council is going to entail . You deserve as much . Orys paused , his eyes still staring across at Owen . It is my hope that we shall be able to speak again , my Lord . Until then , Seven Blessings unto you and yours .
