Alaesa sighed as she stood next on the left of Rhaenyra and listened as Baela told the council of the greens' next move.

"Ser Criston Cole with some half a dozen knights" Baela states "Just as Alaesa said"

"We think they might have a scout party or a greater army" Alaesa adds, not daring to admit she had set fire to a forest to make sure Cole couldn't get far and hopefully burn alive.

"The ravens comfort what the lady Alaesa said, your grace" A lord spoke up "Lord Farring has reported a larger force. Moving north east towards Robsy."

Rhaenyra sighs turning to Alaesa then to Baela "Could you be certain it was Cole from such a great height"

Baela turns to her queen "It was not such a great height, your grace. You said not to engage so i didn't....exactly"

Rhaenyra immediately turns to the other girl onto her left "Alaesa"

"I may have set fire to the front of the forest" Alaesa admits "Only to try stop them, your grace"

"Your grace we commend the lady Baela and lady Alaesa for their sharp eyes, but we can tarry no longer. the time for action is now" A lord states as Alaesa turns to the man ready to lunge for him if he carried on.

"Your grace I must agree and request permission to return to rook's rest" The lord Simon asked "And fortify my lands."

"I shouldn't fret lord Simon they'll be making for Harrenhal" Another lord speaks up gaining Alaesa's attention straight away "Tis prince daemon who out to worry

Rhaenyra goes to speak but stops herself as she watches Alaesa rush away from the table and towards the doors.

The Queen turns back to her council "Daemon has Caraxes"

"Cole will look to increase his numbers"

"The time to act is now your grace"Rhaenyra looks at the lords around her table not caring about it right now, she had one of her daughters to go after "I have heard your arguments and I shall consider them"The council watches as their queen walks out the door not knowing she was going after daemons daughter.

************************************

Alaesa had been so close to getting on Attor back and flying to Harrnehal incase Cole did go after her father. Alaesa had seen how many men the dornish man had and then there was Vhagar.

She was so sure Aemond would join in any battle if he could and especially if it was against her father.

But before she could get onto her dragon she heard the voice of her queen. She sighed, turning around as she was met by Rhaenyra.

"Alaesa" Rhaenyra muttered as Alaesa looked at her "Your father has caraxes"

"He may have a dragon but he is alone in Harrenhal, Asking to be murdered"

"Alaesa we need you here"

"Why because i have a large dragon"

"No because you are an asset to the war ahead and you have a son to protect"

"A son i haven't seen or spoken to since i returned"

"It will take time"

"Ser Cole isn't alone" Alaesa admits "I know a name for one of the other knight"

"Go on"

"Ser Gwayne Hightower, we spoke once before he left with Cole"

Rhaenyra sighs "And Alicent does she know her brother is marching to his death"

The girl furrows her brows confused why Rhaenyra wanted to know anything about Alicent "The dowager queen knows yes and let us all pray she looses her brother."

"Ser Gwayne is of noble birth Alaesa. He may be a Hightower but unlike the rest of him he is kind" She stated "You should rest Alaesa"

Alaesa nods as she walks past Rhaenyra "You should not hold any kindness to Alicent, your grace"

Rhaenyra holds back a sigh as Alaesa leaves. 

************************************

Alaesa had rested well if you can call a few hours of sleep resting. She had gotten use to being in one room Al the time.

Dragonstone was her home and yet she wanted return to kingslanding. Not because she liked the greens, but we'll she pefrered it over there.

Alaesa sighed as she reached her sisters room. She doesn't knock as she walks in, but she immediately stops her eyes going onto Baela and the boy sat next to her.

Baela looks up smiling softly. But Alaesa remains frozen. She had been on dragonstone for two days and not once had she yet seen the boy who sat beside her sister.

But almost immediately Aerion looks up and rushes over to her.

Alaesa can't help but gasp slightly as she feels Aerion hug her. A few second later Alaesa is picking him up and kissing his forhead.

"My sweet boy" She couldn't help but whisper. Aerion was so pure nothing like her late husband.

Daemon had made sure to leave no traces of her late husband behind. Well none but his grandson. Alaesa adored him, Baela adored him and so did Daemon.

Baelas smile grows as she joins her sisters side "Aerion tell your mother what grandsire taught you"

"Fire and blood" Aerion mutters and Alaesa smiles even more.

The two girls are interrupted when Jace rushes in.

Alaesa puts Aerion down knowing that there was a war she needed to help in "Aerion I'll come see you later"

"Yes mama" Aerion smiled kissing her cheek before running back over to the lady who was looking after him.

Alaesa turns to her cousin when she knows Aerion is safe "Jacaerys what is it"

"Our Queen is gone"
