The Lords Declarant were eager to remove him from the Eyrie, and should Robin die, the next in line was Harrold Hardying, also known as Harry the Heir. The boy had been raised by one of the Lords Declarant, namely Anya Waynwood, so things were not looking good at all for the mockingbird. True, some of the nobles had been in his debt, but none would support him openly. As Hardying had reached the age of majority and was an anointed knight, if Robin died, Petyr would have very little cause to stay as Lord Protector of the Vale.
