The Prince of Thorns

🗡⚔ -To Serve- 🛡🏹

VAES DOTHRSK - CLIFFS

Daenerys stands at the edge of the cliff, looking out at Vaes Dothrak. She turns to face Alester, who stands behind her.

DAENERYS: "Who are you?"

ALESTER: "My name is Alester Tyrell."

DAENERYS: "Alester Tyrell? I've heard about you."

ALESTER: "I'm surprised word travels across the sea so easily."

DAENERYS: "When it comes from a talkative dwarf, yes it does travel fast."

ALESTER: "(Surprised) Ha. I should have known he'd be alright. He can talk himself out of any situation."

She approaches him

DAENERYS: "True. Now tell me why you helped me?"

The Tyrell looks off into the distance.

ALESTER: "My family has been torn apart by Cersei Lannister. Through murder and imprisonment. I was on a diplomatic mission when I got word of it all."

DAENERYS: "And you didn't return to fight?"

ALESTER: "Cersei may be arrogant but she's still very dangerous. With as many spies as she has, I never would have made it back to the Reach to raise an army. And even if I did, she would have raised more men then I could."

DAENERYS: "So you came to me for help."

ALESTER: "Firstly, I came to see if you were worthy to help."

DAENERYS: "And am I?"

ALESTER: "I'm still here aren't I."

DAENERYS: "And secondly?"

ALESTER: "I'll serve you as a member of your council. All I ask in return are my rightful place as Lord of Highgarden, my family freed, and my wife and brother-in-law unharmed."

Daenerys shoots him a glare.

DAENERYS: "Your brother-in-law is sitting on my throne."

ALESTER: "He's a harmless kid being used as a puppet by his mother. When you take your place as Queen, he will be no threat to you. He will have a place with me at Highgarden.

The Mother of Dragons takes a moment to think upon his requests.

DAENERYS: "Very well Alester Tyrell. If you serve me loyally then all that you ask will be done."

Alester kneels before the Targaryen Queen.

ALESTER: "I live to serve you Queen Daenerys Targaryen."

As he recites his pledge the sound of two horses approach causing Alester to rise and ready Thorn.

DAENERYS: "It's fine Alester, I know them."

The Tyrell reluctantly stands down.

She turns to face Jorah and Daario who dismount from there mounts.

Daario looks Alester up and down.

JORAH: "Alester Tyrell."

ALESTER: "Jorah Mormont."

DAENERYS: "(Surprised) You know one another."

ALESTER: "Thats stretching the truth. I meant Jorah at a tournament when I was a boy."

DAARIO: "(To Jorah) I knew you were old."

JORAH: "We're grateful to you for aiding our Queen."

Alester just nods.
