Sansa does her best to embrace her new identity as Alayne Stone. She and Littlefinger prepare for the arrival of the Lords Declarant. They want Lord Robert and they want Littlefinger gone. However, when the unexpected arises during the parlay, Littlefinger prevails and earns a year as Lord Protector, to prove himself.

Chapter Review:
Sansa Stark is now going by the name Alayne Stone in public and private, as Petyr Balish insisted. At breakfast, little Lord Robert Arryn is in a state. He wanted eggs and bacon but none were available. The Lords Declarant have the Gates of the Moon surrounded and won’t allow new stores of food up to the Eyrie, until Littlefinger sends down Robert and then leaves the Vale. Breakfast ends with a shaking fit from Robert.

Alayne organizes the seating arrangements in the solar and then goes to meet their guests, as they arrive at the Eyrie. Alayne ensures that they eat and drink upon arrival, to guarantee everyone’s safety through Guest Right. She’s thankful that Bronze Yohn Royce doesn’t recognize her, despite meeting her twice as Sansa Stark.

In the solar, the Lords get to the point. They want Robert to foster at Runsetone with Yohn Royce and Littlefinger to leave for Harrenhal. Littlefinger’s strongest argument is that his wife Lysa named him Lord Protector and named Robert his ward. The others don’t care. Talks reach an impasse until Lyn Corbray pulls his sword and demands a duel with Littlefinger. The Lords are aghast, and Littlefinger takes advantage of the situation. Ultimately, all agree that Littlefinger may have one year to set the Vale to rights, as Lord Protector. That night Littlefinger confirms Sansa’s suspicion that Lyn Corbray was bought and paid for.
