" i'm sure everything is just fine and dandy back home." Vaera remarked. " what I'm really curious about is how is life going up here in the snowy frozen North."
" it was fine until your cousin? Nephew? Showed up and started thinking with his dick when he was supposed to be asking for help." Cregan answered.
" what can I say?" Vaera shrugged. "he's an idiot like his mother. So do you want to deal with business now or after?"
"I am a man of honor."
"I'm surprised you let him leave." Vaera countered.
"His brother is dead." Cregan countered. Vaera stared back at him. "He will return and beg for my armies."
"WIll you give it to him?"
"No." Cregan assured.
"Cregan!" Sara begged.
"Honestly Sara." Cregan hissed.
"We are in love!"
"You are a child!"
"And what about you?" Sara hissed. Cregan rolled his eyes.
"I'm lord of winterfell."
"And you are a handful of years older than me. You are still a child and what of her!"
"Dont drag me into your drama. I have enough sibling drama back home." Vaera countered.
"How do we get upstairs?" Blood questioned
"The royals live up there." Cheese countered.
"Right."
"Well, it's off limits, it is." Cheese corrected. "Different group of ratcatchers work the upstairs."
"If we're to kill a royal fucking prince, where do you think we're gonna find him?"
"There you are." Avalon declared. "I was looking for you Alyssa."
"Sorry mama, I was playing with Aemond... then we went to the pits. Just to say hi to kitty and mouse." She answered hugging Avalon. "Dont be mad."
"I'm not mad, I was going to visit Mouse too after you kids were tucked into bed." Avalon assured. "Thank you Criston."
"Of course my queen." He agreed.
"We need to keep looking."
"I've told ya, I'm not supposed to be up here." Cheese countered.
"Did you not hear the prince? No head... no gold." Blood countered as Cheese looked at the mural on the wall while Blood took the coin from the table.
"Set a trap." Blood demanded. "For appearances." Blood instructed. "I'll search the next room."
"Were you with Aemond?" Avalon questioned as they walked.
"Yes." Criston answered as Alyssa skipped ahead of them.
"How is he?" Avalon questioned. "ALyssa stay close love!" She added. Alyssa slowed her skips.
"He is... strategic." Criston offered. "Otto was with him. Instructed I leave."
"HEavens, I would rather you be with Aemond helping him than otto putting venom in his ear." Avalon countered.
"Scream and you all die," Blood told Alicent.
"Avalon," larys remarked stumbling across Criston and Avalon in the hallway. " I thought you were with Alice. The door was shut..."
" and something else clearly?" Avalon urged reaching for Alyssa once more.
" well, she was crying. I just assumed you were in there with her." Larys remarked " I didn't want to intrude."
" oh my baby girl... she has gotten lost in the chaos of all of this." Avalon remarked.
"Who are you?" Alicent demanded of the two.
"Debt collectors," said Cheese. "An eye for an eye, a son for a son. We only want the one, t' square things. Won't hurt the rest o' you fine folks, not one lil' hair."
"Mama!" Aeron screamed. Alicent realized they thought Alice was a boy.
"Im coming baby!" Avalon declared pushing the door open it flew into Cheese. He stumbled back into the wall. Avalon shrieked. Aeron ran to avalon. Criston ran past avalon seeing a disoriented Cheese against the wall and Blood with a wicked look on his face.
"Alice? Aer-" avalons words got stuck in her throat.
"Its a girl you dimwit."
"You didnt know either."
"The red dress could have told us."
"Makes it easy then doesnt it?"
"Take the boy."
"Mama!" Aeron shouted.
"I'll kill them! I'll kill them all! Traitors and villains! They dare strike at me!" Aegon demanded smashing at the replica his father had worked so hard on.
"Your Grace."
"I am the king!"
"Your Grace! Yes, yes."
"I am the king!"
"Yes, Your Grace. Uh, please, Your Grace."
" Traitors and villains!" Aegon shouted throwing a little building replica against the wall it crumbled on impact "Fire from the sky. This is war! I declare war! I declare war!"
"The gates have been shut." Otto assured "The villain will be dealt with. We mustn't be shaken by this. This act. The child."
"What they tried to do..." alicent whimpered.
"Yes." Otto agreed. "It was horrible but they did not succeed. And they will pay for this."
"I need to check on Avalon."
