Meereen was in a frenzy with the preparation for the games. After Tyrion and Jorah had arrived, and the former revealed he and Jorah had been brought with other slaves to fight in the pits, Rhaenya ordered Daario to make sure that all who fight were in fact free men.

Tyrion was walking through the pyramid with Nizam and Ser Barristan when Rickon walked in with Shaggydog next to him.

"Young Rickon, how are the fighting lessons?" Ser Barristan asked the boy who stared at Tyrion, recognizing him from his stay at Winterfell.

"It was good Ser Barristen, Daario and Grey Worm say i still need to move more when fighting though."

Tyrion was shocked to say the least, in front of him stood the youngest Stark child and most likely rightful heir tof the North.

"Rickon. H-How are you here? Alive." The Lannister men stuttered.

"A friend helped me get out of Westeros, and when Rhae goes back home, i will go to." With the simple answered.

Tyrion was about to ask how such thing had happened but an unsullied guard walked to Rickon "Lord Rickon, Missandei is waiting for you to start your lessons of high valyrian."

Rickon nodded and bid farewell to the three lords.

"So, Rickon Stark is alive." Tyrion processed the information as he and the two knights kept walking.

"Yes. He arrived almost a year ago. His companion, a woman we believe, died in Myr. He is going to be a great lord one day." Nizam explained.

"And the queen took him in, that is kind of her. Ser Barristan, you served Aerys, Rhaegar and Robert. Tell me your honest opinion of her." The Lannister asked.

"I cannot think of a better ruler my lord." And with that they kept their walk in silence.

Inside the Red keep. Cersei and Jaime sat in front of their father. They had just been informed of how the Tyrells had fled the capital.

"They betrayed us." The Lannister woman uttered to her father as she drank some wine.

"You betrayed them first. You betrayed your own son, when you gave power to those Faith fanatics. All because you wish to call yourself queen. Of course the Tyrells fled, start hoping they don't cut the food supply to the capital." Tywin was angry, Cersei's actions were costing money and allies to the crown and from what he had been told there were problems rising up North, where he knew he could not march without suffering great losses or being defeated.

"I did what i did to protect my son. That smirking whore would have destroyed him and turned him against our family." She raged at him, shugging Jaime's hand off of her.

Tywin noticed this, he did not want to acknowledge that his legacy might be a lie so he pretended not to notice, focusing on Cersei instead.

"That whore, as you call her, is your queen. And i am going to try and get her back, because Tommen needs heirs and we need the Tyrells. And if i have my way you are still going to marry Loras. Now go spend some time with your son, who will soon realize his queen ran away. I have to write to Highgarden and fix your actions, not to mention find Tyrion, if he thinks he can try and kill me and live he is seriously mistaken." Tywins dismisses his children.

Up North the Hardhome Wildlings are being escorted through Castle Black.

"It was a failure." Jon tells Sam as the two discuss what had happened.
"It wasn't." The Tarly man denies as he sees the look on Jon's face.
