"A week, perhaps more," he admitted, thinking over Tyrith's words. It was true enough--the only House with enough honor to hold the claim at this time was House Stark, no matter how little William cared for it. He thought that Tyrith Lannister might make a shrewd king and wouldn't be surprised if he had inclinations in that direction but if he did, they'd been kept silent.

The only way they'd ascend would be in the case of assassination and given the machinations of the latest crop of Arryns, William wouldn't be half surprised. He only hoped that Hester's fondness for her young cousins surpassed her desire for a crown. Otherwise, they'd be in trouble, the lot of them.
"I'm uncomfortable with my family being targeted," he said firmly. "It's unacceptable and I appreciate Toria's efforts to look into it, but I worry for her safety as well. She's family too, and this has become more than a little personal."
