RHAENYS WALKS TO THE DECK holding a raven scroll from Aemond Targaryen... She is approached by someone who looks very familiar.
"M'lady," he bows his head.
"Princess," Rhaenys corrects him, "if we're holding to formalities."
"Apologies, Princess. I was very sorry to hear about your daughter's capture," he told her.
Rhaenys nods not speaking a word about Aerea as she needed to talk about it with her husband, "and you are... Alyn."
"Yes, Princess."
"I'm given to understand my Lord Husband owes you his life," she stares at him in realization, she touches his face, seeing Corlys through him already, "but I was not told his savior was so comely. Your mother must've been very beautiful."
"Rhaenys."
Corlys walks down to his wife and his bastard son... He looks at Alyn, "is your work finished?"
"No, m'lord," Alyn bows his head at them before grabbing his stuff and going back to work.
Rhaenys just stares at Corlys. Not angry. Not even sad. She can't fault him for doing something she did with Aerea... One difference... She had Aerea legitimized.
Corlys steps up as she nods, "Rhaenys, I-"
"I just had a word with your captains," she points out, "he was the sailor who plucked you from your watery grave?"
He takes her hand and leads her to a more private spot, "yes."
"You did not think to mention it? After Aerea's conception and birth," Rhaenys shook her head tears falling, "her legitimacy-"
"Are you angry with me?" Corlys asked.
Rhaenys shook her head, "how could I be?" She looked at him, "I did the same... But one difference," she looked over at Alyn in the distance working, "I legitimized my daughter and did not hide her beneath the waves."
"Well..." Corlys shook his head, "perhaps we should have... Look at where Aerea is now-"
"Do not put that on me."
"Rhaenys-"
She gives him the raven scroll as he looks down at the sigil...
He took a heavy breath as he opened it and read the message.
Aerea is with child, married to Aemond, and now owned by him officially.
This fills him with rage, "that- that one-eyed boy will see my wrath-"
"Corlys, she's with child," she says, "now would be the time."
"What shall we do?" Corlys asked, "attack Kingslanding whilst they have Vhagar?"
"I..." Rhaenys sighs covering her face in stress, "I am not sure. I would like to get leave to do the rescue from the Queen... But..."
"Gods, still?" Corlys asked, "where has that woman gone?"
