"Father has been busy so I, we, have been looking after my sister." Alyssa tells Daelys gesturing at herself and Barthogan.
Daelys looks between the two of them. "It's good to know that you are getting along so well." She says. "Tell me. What is the name of your sister?"
"Rhaena Velaryon." Alyssa replies making Daelys look back at her before Daelys looks at the child again.
The girl has dark skin and brown hair with purple eyes. It is hard to understand who she resembles more but it might become clearer with time.
"She resembles Rhaena a little." Daelys admits. She turns to Alyssa. "Just remember that if you need any help, I am right here. And so is Aemond."
"We know." Alyssa says. Smiling a little Daelys leaves the room.
She walks into the Chamber of the Painted Table to find Aemond staring at the map and the places marked where the troops are positioned. Daelys walks upto him and stands beside him.
"What are you thinking about?" She asks softly placing a hand on Aemond's.
"I am just wondering about the loss of lives this war will result in." Aemond answers. "Especially in these places." He points where the troops are positioned.
"Our troops has been ordered to evacuate the people." Daelys tells him. "I am sure that is what will happen." Aemond looks at Daelys. 'We have to believe that."
Aemond sighs. "Are we certain there will be no battles in Oldtown?" He asks.
"Yes." Daelys says confidently. "No one in their right minds will attack Oldtown. Ever." She reassures him.
"What about the Stormlands?" Aemond asks.
"Daena is with three other Targaryens and with Criston. There is nothing to be worried about." Daelys tells him.
"How much of it do you believe?" He asks.
Daelys stays quiet for a few moments. "Enough of it." She answers. "You worry more than it is necessary."
"And you-" But Aemond is interrupted by a guard entering.
"The White Worm has requested an audience, my Queen, my King." He tells them.
"Show her in." Aemond orders as the two of them exchange a look. If Mysaria has come to meet them it must be really important.
She enters and stands across from Daelys and Aemond. "I have news from King's Landing." She begins. "On orders of Prince Jacaerys, the Ironborns have mobilized their fleet and are moving to decimate Driftmark completely."
"When?" Daelys asks immediately.
"It will take them almost a moon's turn to reach Driftmark." Mysaria answers.
"Enough time." Aemond says. "What else?"
"Jacaerys has discovered my identity. I am no longer safe inside King's Landing." Mysaria tells him.
"You can leave in the hut that Criston Cole lived in during his exile. I am certain you will find everything you need in there." Daelys says
Mysaria looks at the two of them. "In a hut?" She asks.
"Will that be a problem?" Aemond questions.
Mysaria stays quiet looking between them. "No, it won't be." She finally replies and leaves.
"I don't trust her." Aemond says.
"She has outlived her importance, it seems." Daelys says calmly.
