"Where is he?" The Queen asked Ser Gerold. The beautiful Queen appeared gentle, but one must remember that she is, too, the blood of Old Valyria and her anger could be as destructive as the volcanoes that ruined that great empire.

"His chambers, Your Grace."

The king and his Hand were in the middle of a heated discussion when the doors to his chambers blew open and the Queen swooped in on them like an unexpected storm.

"How could you send her there without my leave?!" She pointed an accusing finger at her husband.

Aerys massaged the bridge of his and told Tywin, "We will resume later." The Lord of Casterly Rock begrudgingly bowed to his king first then the Queen on his way out. To his Queen the king said, "Sit."

She remained standing. "You should have consulted me. She is my daughter!"

"Welcome back." Rhaegar descended from his horse and embraced his mother.

"Where is Naerys? Is she still yet to return?" He asked, searching for his sister as if she'd appear any moment. Rhaella pulled away and clasped her hands, trying to find the right words to tell him.

"She is in Highgarden," she said, "The Tyrells asked your father for half a year to foster her and he granted their request."

Whatever high spirits he came with faded as mist in the air. He'd been looking forward to this day for an entire year and to have it ripped from him like this...
