A week passed since the attack on Drogon,the dragon was left in the dragon pit to recover instead of heading to dragonstone where Rhaegal had been recovering himself .

For that entire week Daenerys barely said a word to her, she'd take off her clothes and slip into bed mumbling a Goodnight and falling to sleep, Clara being in the middle of things didn't exactly know how to soothe it over. Alex refused the girls comfort citing that Daenerys needed someone to talk to. Regardless of whether she felt lonely or not .

So instead of lamenting how quickly they were now in the first fight as a married couple she pushed her head into work and meditating with Escanor to gain the resonance required that would initially push her plans forward.

Word came that gendry was arriving soon, followed by the new lord of the vale and the river lands. She accepted it and would have them bend the knee. That day she sat in her throne yet again witnessing the lords and ladies awe as they watched as the throne took a golden hue, quite honestly she was tired of the reactions but as Tyrion told her it was to be expected.

"Kneel before me, lay your sword at my feet, pledge me your service and you'll rise again as Gendry Baratheon , Lord of storms-end"

Beside her was Daenerys who watched the proceedings with a blank look, she was still upset at Drogon's injury but truthfully she missed her wife. Clara had been wonderful in assuring that she and the baby was well cared for especially when Alexandra would spend most nights holed up in her office. She turned her eyes back to the nervous gendry. He was young but it was clear he felt honored that he was given the opportunity to take his fathers name a rather smart move, she noticed Tyrion watching on approvingly as well.

"I have proven my willingness to fight and die in your battles, my Queen, Will you accept my oath of fealty?" Alexandra nodded

"I do" She spared the young man a small smile " arise from now on and forever more you will no longer be known as Gendry waters. From this day until your last day you are Gendry Baratheon, son of Robert Baratheon , the new lord of Storms end" she announced as those in the hall applauded.

Alexandra leaned against her cheek "In light of your magnificent contribution toward the war against the wight walkers I'd like to offer you a reward" that piece of news shocked her hand as well at the Gendry

"Your grace" he started "I couldn't..—"

"You can, because of you and Lady Joanna our armies were armed with weapons strong enough to stand against our enemy. Your expertise and brilliant skills as a smith are to be lauded lord Baratheon." She said truthfully.

"Your grace, you've already made me the lord of storms-end I couldn't ask for anything more" she sighed at his humility.sometimes dealing with humbleness was as troublesome as dealing with a glutton.

"Giving you something based on your birth is not a reward. You were robbed of your title as Robert Baratheons only child because you were born of someone he slept with and not his wife. I'm not giving you something that was already should've been yours to begin with" as she spoke she could see him still hesitant "if it's within my power I'll grant it. Though the iron throne is perfectly off limits" she joked the joke however, made Gendry's eyes widen enough to look comical.

Escanor chortled in her head , because really these people were so stiff "It's a joke relax, I'm married to the job already." She rolled her eyes playfully "either way you can think about what you want after our meal or during" she stood up from her throne and grabbed Escanor that laid on the side.

"Now that all the formalities are over I'm famished and I haven't eaten for a while so why don't we celebrate your new land with a few drinks Lord Baratheon?"
