Mission from Lord Mace Tyrell
The steady growth of House Astaroth in Highgarden did not go unnoticed by the Tyrells, the influential rulers of the region. Lady Olenna Tyrell, a cunning and insightful figure, along with Patriarch Mace Tyrell, began to pay more attention to the emerging house and its young leader, Ethan Astaroth. The Astaroth's growing reputation and commercial successes had made them a force to be reckoned with in the region.
One day, when Highgarden was shaken by news of an assault on a group of merchants heading to Dorne, Mace Tyrell decided to take immediate action to protect the region's commercial interests. Aware of Ethan's abilities, he entrusted him with a crucial task: to help defend the group of merchants that had been targeted by thieves.
Mace Tyrell leaned forward on his throne, his piercing green eyes fixed on Ethan as he began to explain the mission.
"Ethan, listen carefully. We have a group of merchants heading to Dorne with very valuable goods. However, we have received information that a group of bandits and looters are planning to attack the caravan during their journey."
Ethan nodded, showing that he was completely focused on Mace's words.
"I understand the seriousness of the situation, Lord Tyrell. What is the plan?"
Mace continued seriously.
"We need you to lead a detachment of our men, along with some of your own soldiers, and ensure the safety of the caravan. It is essential that these goods reach their destination in Sunspear without mishap. Not only will you protect our commercial interests, but you will also prove your worth."
Ethan nodded again, accepting the responsibility entrusted to him.
"I understand, Lord Tyrell. I will do everything I can to ensure the success of this mission and protect the merchants.
Mace Tyrell smiled approvingly.
"That's how I like it, young Astaroth. The caravan will leave at dawn. Make sure you are prepared and that your men are ready to march."
Ethan bowed respectfully before leaving.
After receiving the order and he accepted the responsibility seriously. He understood the importance of maintaining security on trade routes, since his own business depended on them. Together with his group of loyal companions, he prepared to face the challenge and protect the merchants. It was a reminder that as his influence and responsibilities grew, so did the expectations and trust placed in him.
Ethan was aware that this assignment had a deeper meaning than simply ensuring safety on trade routes. He understood that the Tyrell family was testing him, evaluating his intentions and his reliability as an ally and collaborator in the growth of House Astaroth in Highgarden.
This test was not only about confronting the thieves, but also about demonstrating their loyalty and commitment to the region and their respect for the authority of the Tyrells. He knew that his success in this task would not only impact the safety of the merchants, but would also send an important message to the Tyrells.
Ethan was in the courtyard of the inn, gathering his men to prepare them for the mission. The sun was beginning to set on the horizon as the group formed before him.
"Listen carefully, boys. We have an important task ahead of us. We will protect a merchant caravan heading to Dorne, and we must ensure that they arrive safely." - said the young patriarch.
Sigrid and Leandro nodded solemnly, their faces showing determination.
"We won't let those bandits near the caravan. I'm ready to fight, Ethan." - said Sigrid.
"We'll be with you on this, Ethan. Your orders are our orders." - Leandro agreed.
Ethan gave them a grateful smile before addressing the group of soldiers who had gathered around him.
"This mission is critical. Our reputation and the trust of House Tyrell are at stake. Let us ensure this caravan reaches its destination without incident." -the young man shouted towards his group.
The warriors nodded in response, ready to follow their leader's orders. Ethan turned to Sigrid and Leandro.
"Sigrid, Leandro, you will be at my side leading this operation. Train our men and keep them alert. We don't know when or where those bandits will appear." - Ethan ordered.
Sigrid and Leandro nodded again and began giving instructions to the soldiers, organizing the men into groups and checking their weapons and equipment.
"Don't worry, boss. We'll be vigilant." - Sigrid responded enthusiastically.
Ethan was satisfied with his team's response and addressed everyone again.
"Very well, then. Tomorrow, at dawn, we will leave with the caravan. Rest well tonight and be ready. The safety of Highgarden and our reputation are at stake."
The group disbanded to prepare for the mission.
