Damsel in distress /Peter quill x hotd out now
Aelsa chuckled looking to tyland

"Dont." Tyland begged his cousin.

"You think aemond is going to come like a dog?" Aelsa pondered. "Jason is going to be murdered."

"You think?"

"Try not to sound so excited." Aelsa drawled as she walked forward

"You are telling him right?"  Tyland requested nervously.

"Your twin. Your problem."

"He dares to summon me!" Aemond demanded crumpling the scroll. Aelsa looked to tyland with a smirk. "With haste"?" he added incredulously "Are the Lannisters so diminished that they cannot march from the Tooth to Harrenhal without an escort?" Aemond demanded his council.

"Dont lump me in with them. Im a different breed of Lannister." Aelsa assured.

"There is a large dragon in the Riverlands, Your Grace." Tyland offered. "My brother's army is strong, but it does seem..."

"I am the prince regent, not a dog to be called to heel." Aemond countered. 'Tell your brother that if he does not deliver his host to Harrenhal, "with haste," Daemon's dragon will become the least of his worries." Aemond warned.

"Caraxes can and will burn them. Its stupid to waste good men willing and ready to fight for aegon and yourself." Aelsa cut in. "If you want them to continue to fight they need to live."

"I will not be summoned."

"Jason is an idiot but he wont move without reassurance that his men wont burn the instant they get close to harrenhal." Aelsa challenged aemond glared back at her. "You know im right." Aemond snarled back at her.

"Your irritations are justified, Aemond, but it does seem..." Alicent began but aemond cut her off.

"I have a task for you as well, Ser Tyland." Aemond moved to tyland. Tylands eyes shifted nervously to aelsa. "We will make an alliance with the Triarchy. I've had enough of this cursed blockade."

"My prince... you cannot mean to treat with the Free Cities." Tyland countered. "The captains of their ships are dangerous mercenaries, little more than pirates..."

"They are a stone's throw away across the Narrow Sea. Lannister and Hightower ships will take months to arrive." Aemond corrected. "The Triarchy will delight in the chance to terrorize the Sea Snake again. Let them weaken his blockade while our true allies make their long journey east." Aemond decided.

"They will." Aelsa agreed. "But its foolish."

"Are you calling me foolish?" Aemond demanded

"As I said." Aelsa agreed.

"The Triarchy may play at accepting terms, but they are not to be trusted." Alicent added. "Your father knew this. What has come of our letters to the Greyjoys?"

"They have been to no avail." Maester answered.

"The Red Kraken waits, seeking his best advantage." Jasper added. "Though we may draw him in with honey, if it comes to it. An offer of marriage, perhaps, to the dowager queen?"

"Out of the question." Alicent demanded.

"Alas." Jasper tsked.

"You could be useful alicent..." aelsa mused. Ollivander looked between them silently he didnt want aemonds wicked ways pointed at him.

"The dowager queen speaks wisely, Your Grace. Even if the blockade could be broken, are we to invite these alien raiders into our waters, so close to King's Landing?" Criston questioned
