The boat lands at the secret cove of Kingslanding with the red headed priestess who looks up as she pulls the red scarf from her head with a smile on her face as she looks over the buildings with amusement.

"My Lady," calls a voice and she looks forwards to see Lady Ceryse Hightower who stood waiting for her with her own hair covered with a white scarf.

"Lady Hightower," the Red Priestess calls back as she walks up the steps to the Green Lady who bows her head to her before smiling as they look at each other. Lady Ceryse frowns at the boy behind the Red Woman.

"Who is the boy?"

"Gendry. Gendry Waters," the silent words pass between the two women as Gendry look at them confused as he looks around never having been so close to the Red Keep before.

"Of course," Lady Ceryse clears her throat as she looks at Gendry who quickly bows his head to her nervously which makes her smile at him.

"Come," the Hightower continues "We have chambers ready for you."

"Close to the Queen?"

"As close as we can get without eyebrows being raised. The Queen's Lady had taken the chambers I had wished for you."

"Which lady?"

"Lady Tyrin Arryn," Lady Ceryse calls over her shoulder as the Red Priestess and Gendry follow her towards the entrance to the Red Keep.

"She will not be a problem for much longer." the Red Woman comments which makes Lady Ceryse smirk as she glances at her and the two women share a smile.

"I am glad to hear it, the Lord of Light's wishes had been hard to push toward the Queen."

"How so?"

"She does not follow the Faith of the Seven nor the Lord of Light."

"The Gods of Old Valyria?"

"Indeed, the savages have no thought of Grace. How they became the Lords and Ladies of the Seven Kingsdoms I do not know."

"Dragons."

Lady Ceryse hums as they enter the Red Keep unaware of the eyes that belonged to Princess Helaena watching them.


"Will these do?" Lady Ceryse asks as she watches the Red Woman look around her new chambers as Gendry stands beside her nervously, unsure what he is going there. "I can have new ones made if they are not pleasing."

"They will do to serve the Lord of Light."

Lady Ceryse nods pleased as she looks at Gendry who looks back at her with a nervous smile on his lips as she looks him over.

"He stays with me." the Red Woman commands.

Lady Ceryse glances at the Red Woman before bowing her head in service to the woman who looks her over before sighing as she takes the scarf from her shoulders and places it onto a chair as she holds her coat closer to her as she clears her throat.

"It is time to visit the Queen."
