Pentos Wants to Take Advantage

The Fall of Braavos was not something that was kept quiet and now known to the rest of the world. It should be known that Braavos get's lot's of Merchant's and other travelers coming and going on the daily.

And once the attack began, of course some of those merchant's and such probably ran to another free city to tell what happened.

  -----

A week after the fall of the Sea Lord's Palace a Merchant had requested an audience with the Prince of the Free city of Pentos.

The Merchant expressed how urgent this matter was concerning Braavos. And considering their historical grievances with each other the Prince of Pentos decided to listen to what this Merchant had to say.

The Merchant approached the meeting room of the Prince as he was let in by the guards. Once inside he took his seat and bowed his head a little to pay respects to the Prince.

"My Prince the situation is urgent" Said the Merchant

"Yes you have been saying that since you got here so just tell me what the problem is already" Said the Prince as he was growing impatient from the whining of the Merchant in front of him.

"Braavos was attacked by an army of what I assume to be the Free Folk Kingdom Warriors" Said the Merchant

The Prince who was previously leaning back in his chair had sat up upon hearing that Braavos was attacked by the Free Folk Army.

"Explain exactly what happened" Said the Prince as the Merchant now had his full attention.

"First My Prince the attack started with a large fleet of ship's that was some distance away from the city out of range of the Braavos Fleet had fired some strange weapons at the Iron Bank which had damaged the area around the Iron Bank and killed a lot of people who were inside of the Bank.

The attack had continued for quite some time before the Iron Bank no longer looked the way it did before the attack. Then the Ships had went towards the Titan of Braavos to attack the city. This is when my ship had already made it out of the city along with many other's and sailed straight for Pentos.

The Free Folk ship's didn't attack us so we sailed around them and made it some distance away before the last thing we seen was the Titan of Braavos falling into the sea" Explained the Merchant

The Prince of Pentos was shocked since the one piece of information that he considered important from what the Merchant just told him was that the Iron Bank was attacked.

One must know that an attack on the Iron Bank is just a stupid move since all cities would join together to attack the ones who attacked the Iron Bank.

The reason was because the every Free City had money in the Iron Bank or was connected to one of the members of the Iron Bank.

Even the Prince of Pentos himself had large portion of wealth that the Iron Bank held. And now that money was in the hands of people who were deemed savages almost a decade ago.

"Thank you Merchant for your telling me this and you will be rewarded handsomely for your services" Said the Prince as he motioned for a servant to come over and hand the Merchant a big bag of coins.

The Merchant accepted the bag "Thank you my Prince" 

"Yes now please leave because I have some things to do" said the Prince as the guards came in and escorted the Merchant out of the Palace.

Once the Merchant was gone the Prince had told this news to the Council of Magisters. 

"Is this true" Asked the Council of Magister's

"Yes the Merchant had explained to me all of the details that he knew and it didn't seem that he was lying" Said the Prince

"Then we need to assemble an army immediately and attack Braavos whether the city has fallen or not it doesn't matter" Said one of the Magisters

The other Magister's agreed with him and as such a messenger was sent to both the Golden Company and the Second Sons hiring them for their services.
