The Gaston army is marching down a road in formation. Alon, Arlen, and Jessor gallops up alongside the men riding up towards the front.
The gates of Backton's Keep is shown ahead of them as the bannermen rides towards the castle.
Nira, Ryland, Blane, and Daario gallops their horses along the men galloping towards the Keep.
Alessa walks out of the house as Alon and everyone dismounts their horses, Cragen walks out standing beside Alessa
Alon: Lord Cragen. What are you doing here?
Cragan: Lord Alon. I rode down here when I heard the news of Ser Zane's death and to be with Alessa.
Jessor is shown looking between him and Alessa, jaw clenching and rolls his eyes.
Cragen: Winterfell is prepared to offer you 500 fighting men, armed.
Alon nods his head
Alon: I am grateful. By the time we are done with the Riverlands, those guilty will be punished for their treason.
Cragen: Aye they will face justice for their crimes. My men are ready to march at your command, my lord.
Paxton: As soon as the men are rested and re armed, we will march back to the Riverlands. They can join us then
Cragen nods his head
Alon: In the meantime, you are more then welcome to stay as long as you wish
Cragen: I might take you up on that.
Jessor rolls his eyes and snorts. Cragen looks around the courtyard confused
Cragen: I do not see Lady Clara amongst you
Nira: She stayed in the Riverlands to oversee the garrison.
Cragen: Are you ready to march for Harrenhal?
Alon: We are nearly prepared.
He walks past Cragen as Blane, Paxton, Arlen, and Nira follows him inside the house. Cragen and Alessa looks at each other smiling. Jessor scoffs and walks away
Daario: Whatever.
He walks away, leaving.
WAR ROOM-MAP ROOM
Alon, Blane, Paxton, Arlen, Nira, Jessor, and Cragen are standing around the Red Painted Map
Alon: Rhaenyra finds herself in an impossible position. She has lost Princess Rhaenys and her dragon. She holds an island seat with no land army. Her Small Council will not allow her to go to battler herself.
Nira: There is still Daemon and Caraxes.......and the ones who has bend the knee in the Riverlands
Cragen: That remains to be seen from what I have heard.
Alon: In any case, she needs more dragonriders. For Vermithor, Silverwing, and Seasmoke.
Jessor: But there are no more in her family. Her younger sons are babes.
Arlen: There is Rhaena. She's never claimed a dragon.
Nira: She attempted it, remember?
Arlen: Oh yeah. She nearly died because of it.
Cragen: Then who could do it?
Alon and Blane looks at each other with knowing looks
Blane: Those who holds Targaryen blood.
Cragen and Jessor looks around the table in confusion.
Cragen: Didn't you inform me that the Gastons had Targaryen blood in your veins?
