"Lord Tully has answered your summons and brought the Riverlords, my king." Simon remarked.
"My condolences on the passing of your grandsire but the crown congratulates you on your ascension to the head of your house and Lord Paramount in the Riverlands. Truly glorious. Well done." Daemon declared.
"Daemon!" Taelon spat
"I did nothing." Oscar countered.
"Im sorry for your loss."
Alys liked that taelon had power and authority yet a heart.
"Nevertheless, you are here, which is the important thing." Daemon agreed.
"You were quick enough to dismiss me before." He reminded Daemon. " where is the princess Avalon? I would rather speak to her."
"You were of no significance to me then and my sister went home so she is of no significance to you." Daemon agreed. "Now... I shall have my great host. You have a decision to make. I presume it is clear to you which is the right one."
"You'll forgive me, Your Grace." Oscar countered. "I am green in this sort of matter, as you so kindly point out, but... it does seem to me that you've made rather a mess here, countenancing barbarities in the queen's name." Oscar reminded him.
"Whose side are you on?" Daemon demanded staring down at him. Taelon looked between them before moving to alys
" you know how this future is going to play out?"
" you know your brother." she countered calmly. " I think you can take a guess how this is going to play out."
"The Riverlands are held together by oaths." Oscar reminded him. "House Tully swore an oath to King Viserys. We recognize the authority of the named heir, Queen Rhaenyra and your own... as her king consort."
"Consort!" Taelons voice boomed.
"Good." Daemon agreed slightly bitter. "Then we shall go to face your vassals and you will call your banners to war."
"That might be difficult, my king. '"
"Well... I was told they would come to heel when House Tully declared its allegiance." Daemon demanded.
"That may be the case, though it is yet to be seen that they will heed my authority as young as it is. And there is another problem. They all hate you." He added a sly smile on his face.
" there is a problem. I told you you should be nicer to people, but do you listen to me of course not." Taelon agreed. He turned to alys. " I was thinking for supper Lanberry pie."
" are you going to cook?"
" for you always this was why my mother and my little sister taught me how to cook. They said it is just as important for a man to please a woman's appetite and it is for a woman to please a man's...." Taelon agreed.
" I think they were talking about more than just food, but I would gladly put anything you make in my mouth." Alys purred
"I don't need their love." Daemon assured. "I need their swords."
"Your Grace, my lord. The Riverlords await." Simon remarked peering in. "I fear we cannot delay them any longer."
"Come along, Lord Oscar." Daemon decided heading off. They headed outside to the old weirwood tree where the lords and ladies waited.
"Your father has been having a lot of secret conversations with my mother."
"My father is advising your mother. He is the maester of whispers ." Danika countered as jace readied himself for the day.
