"Okay... what do I do now?" Davina questioned. There was a long moment of silence before a giggle erupted from her lips. "I'm kidding." Davina remarked a smile quirked up on her face. "I got this."

Davina nodded to the door and Tommen and Criston came in.

"Commander of the guard, Criston Cole." Davina declared. "Co commanders." She adjusted looking to Harrold. "You need a break, shared responsibility and shared blame, you have been at this longer than I have."

"Thank you." Harrold agreed.

"Laenor Velaryon is alive and well and he will take over as our master of ships." Davina remarked. "He is currently at driftmark."

"Prince TOmmen Martell-"

"Ooh titles must be important." Tommen teased.

"Dont make me regret this, Tom." Davina warned.

"Never." Tommen assured.

"Master of laws." Davina declared and Tommen brought a hand to his heart.

"You dont want to put me in charge of money?" he mused.

"I'm not that stupid." Davina teased. "Beesbury."

"Your grace?"

"You are older than death and I say this in the nicest way possible but-" Davina began.

"Thats nice?" Alicent pondered.

"You spent your life serving my brother and I'm grateful you were in his corner, his friend." Davina remarked.

"Thank you, your grace." Beesbury answered.

"Do you want to spend your life here? Dealing with money as master of coin or perhaps you would want to be free of this chamber and live a little before your own time comes." Davina pondered. Beesbury thought on that. Tyland looked excited, he wanted to be in charge of money, as if Davina would ever give him such a high title.

"Might I think on it your grace?"

"Of course, take all the time you need. No rush. I will be happy to have you if you want to stay." Davina assured. "Just thought, the offer is there if you want more than this room."

"Thank you... your brother was right. You are already a wonderful queen." Beesbury remarked. Davina smiled looking around the table before her gaze settled on Alicent.

"Lastly, but most certainly not least... ALicent Hightower." Davina declared and Alicent sat up in her chair. "Hand of the queen."

"Davi?"

"What!" Otto demanded.

"Thank you all for coming. There is no Co- hand here. Otto you may return to old town. Thank you for your service. Alicent and I see eye to eye. I need someone I trust completely as my right hand woman." Davina declared.

Haven pushed open the door, her kiddos behind her.

"Mama, the people want to properly welcome their new queen." Valyria declared.

"Then best not keep them waiting." Davina agreed. Alicent grabbed her hand as they headed out. "What do you think, is mama going to be a good queen?" Davina pondered as she got changed into better riding clothes.

"The best." Haven agreed. Her kids were proud of her, they had been through quite the up and down over the past few years but it led them to this moment of peace.

Davina couldnt hide her smile as got her horse out of the stables riding him through the streets, the people welcomed their queen with open arms. Big smiles. Confetti parchment drifted down around them as they rode. Haven reached up for the pieces as they fell.

It was a day of peace, a new beginning, smiles all around. Their children laughing out, waving down at the people as they passed. Alicent's smile told her she could do this, she was the queen. Alicent had always believed in her. Davina was glad she wouldnt be doing this alone. That her council, her hand was her best friend, wouldnt steer her wrong.

Davina was the queen but make no mistake, she was a warrior. She was a mother. She was a complex woman. She was in love. She was no longer a princess. She was the Queen. Yet she smiled back at Alicent, her queen.

If the people thought Davina was trouble, just wait what she could do now that she was the most powerful person in westeros. But she wouldnt burn the world down like Rhaenys claimed she would. Like Davina thought she might for a brief moment. Because seeing her families support, the peoples pride in her. She hoped she would make Viserys proud.

"Long Live the Queen!"
