Aerion knew the steps he must take, and he must be extremely careful and delicate. He finished his wine. He exited the room, and willed some water to barricade the enterance. They knew his fathers habits, no servant would dare interrupt his privacy until the morning. He found the servant who led him to his father's chambers. He took him for a "chat" without the other servants seeing, and quickly and quietly threw him in the canal. With a faint "ker-plunk" he was gone. After that, he went to see his brother. He was more of a warrior then clever. On his way back to the palace (having foolishly gone without a guard) Aerion pushed him into a dark alley and gagged him. His brother, Gaerion, resited, but Aerion quickly and quietly subdued him. No one knew the dark streets and alleys of the city better then him. He took him to a private room he owned under an alias. He sat him down on a chairs. He spoke to him. "You will write whatever I tell you to write, or else I will kill you. I know poisons that could give you a most painful death." He saw fear in Gaerion's eyes. Gaerion did everything required of him. He was made to pen several incriminating letters to his father's right hand man, Beren, painting them both as traitors. Once it was done he sent him to join the servant. Before he died, Aerion took from him a dagger that was known to belong to him. Aerion then went back to the palace. He took the dagger and stabbed his father's prone corpse with it, and took it out and threw it into the harbor. Aerion then went to all the important naval and military officials. It took persuading, a bit of threatening, and some subtelty, but he convinced them all that Beren and Gaerion had murdered his father. He promised them that he would decrease taxes and make Pelargir the richest city in Gondor. It took most of the night to convince all of them. Once the Night was over, Aerion and a group of soldiers arrested Beren in his chambers for high treason and threw him in a cell. By the morning Aerion was the Lord of Pelargir
