Chamber of the Painted Table, Dragonstone Castle

"Why am I not surprised you stole Blackfyre." Daemon drawled when his wife revealed the sword she had stolen.
Laela smiled innocently. "Because I'm your wife." she said, the pin of the Hand pinned on her chest.
Corlys and Vaemond were joint Master of Ships, while coin savvy Melissa Celtigar was the Mistress of Coin, Mysaria the Mistress of Whispers, and Gerardys was the Grand Maester. Rhaenys served as a Royal Advisor.
Lyonel Strong, Hand of the King to Viserys I, had fled King's Landing when the coup started. He now served as Master of Laws.
"Enough. We sent word of Viserys death and the Greens coup to the lords of Westeros. Now we must get as many allies as we can."
"I can go to the Stormlands with Aemon to guarantee Borros's support. Laura is betrothed to Aemon and the future Queen while Maris is betrothed too Jacaerys." Laela offered.
"That is a good idea." Rhaenyra agreed. "My aunt Elys Arryn is Lady Dowager of Highgarden and her son, Lord Matthos Tyrell was my cousin. Baelor and Alyssia can travel there to obtain his support."
"House Tyrell has not yet made a move." Mysaria mused. "With Lord Matthos dead, his infant son Luther Tyrell is now head of House Tyrell. They are in a precarious position."
"We need the right terms to get them on our side." Rhaenys muttered.
"A betrothal between Visenya and Luther." Laela spoke up tentatively. "Luther can foster with us so they can get to now each other, and House Tyrell has served us loyally for over a century."
Rhaenyra and Laenor had a pained look on their faces but agreed.
"And for the other regions of Westeros?" Mysaria inquired. "We need to get their support as quickly as possible."
"As for the Eyrie, I will send Aemma and Shaera. Aelyx will go to the North with Rhaena." Rhaenyra decided.
"The Westerlands... they are firmly on the Greens side." Laela frowned.
"House Blackwood, House Strong, House Tully, House Mallister, House Vypern, House Frey, and House Darry had declared for you, My Queen." Lyonel piped up. "But the other half of the Riverlands have declared for the Pretender while the Reach has exploded into in fighting."
"Alright then." Corlys coughed. "We shall dispatch the children."
That is today's chapter. I hope you all enjoyed it!
