You and I both know how essential Ithilien is to the defense of Gondor, especially if Núrn has declared war on Gondor and Anorien is causing trouble. Ithilien has little wealth to spare, and its infantry is small for being so essential to the protection of Gondor..." The King sighs. "I sympathize with your plight, truly. Yet, the royal coffers are empty. We need every coin we can spare to help put down the rebel army. Sooner, rather then later, and the defense of Minas Tirith is critical. Hopefuly, the sack of Tirith Aear will give us the coin that we need to repair our realm." Eradan doesn't fully trust the king at this point, but he'd be a fool to let him know that.

"I did not know the coffers were empty. That is no issue to my concern for Ithilien, so long as Ithilien gets what it needs when Gondor can provide. However, there is one more thing I would like to discuss privately." He waves the guards currently in the room away.

"Yes?" "It has been long since Ithilien had a place in the court. My rangers are skilled not just in stealth, but deception, and their undying loyalties lie with the Lord of Ithilien and the King of Gondor. If it's not too bold a request, I'd like to be the new High Inquisitor of Gondor." (Sorry, didn't see this)

"The New High Inquisitor? Ahem... we already have a High Inquisitor, Ioreth." "Then I trust that Ioreth has the better system of spies and the crucial defense operation. You always seemed like an intelligent man, I trust and respect your decisions. Seeing as my business is done here, I shall take my leave. I have a funeral to arrange back home. Farewell, King Aragost." "Farwell. Also, if Gondor is in need of troops, I expect to depend on you to provide them in defense of the Empire. That is all." "I'll spare what I can."

He turns away, walking out. After meeting his guards, they make their way back to Cair Andros the same way they returned. Aragost already begins planning on how he will undermine the king and gain whatever power he can.
