"I choose Ser Criston Cole" said Rhaenyra as she looks to his brother with determination "Let's not be too hasty, Princess. there's no doubt Ser Criston is a fine warrior, but houses such as Crakehall and Mallister are important allies of The Crown, Seagard , for instance, is the realm's prime defense against reavers from the Iron Islands. Those menare tourney knights. My father should be defended by a man who's known real combat. Should he not" asked Rhaenyra to Lord otto who was next to them."
