Rhaenyra had gotten what she needed from Alicent. Or Ravenna hoped so, at least. The Dragon Queen hadn't told her what Alicent had told her, and the Queen of the North didn't tell her that she had met with Leia. 

"I see no other choice. We need to send a dragon." The pair heard Baelon say as they walked into the hall. 

"Where?"  

Everyone stood up when they saw the two Queens walk into the hall. Robb and Jacke immediately moved from where they were and walked over to Ravenna to stand at her side, "Where have you been?" Jacke asked 

"You will see." Ravenna answered 

"To support the war that you vassals have been fighting your absence." Jace said, he didn't seem happy with what had happened. Raziel cleared his throat as he looked at his son before sitting down in his chair, "Your Grace." Jace added 

"Cole's host has grown since riding abroad. He raised the levies of both Rosby and Stokeworth and, with their combined strength, sacked Duskendale." Rhaenys informed them 

"Duskendale?" Lord Steffon asked, worry all in his voice. 

Ravenna sighed, Duskendale was Steffon's seat, "The city has fallen. Many Darklun men declared for Aegon. Those who refused were put to the sword." Lord Colrys added

"What of my father?" 

Raziel sighed as he stood back up again, "He kept his oath. Cole took his head for it. I'm sorry, Lord Steffon." 

"Where have you been, these last days?" Jace asked, "You vanished without so much as a word." 

Baelon and Jace didn't seem too happy that their mother had left Dragonstone. Rickon and Amaya however, as they moved to stand by their mother, didn't have the same feelings. They knew that if someone so much as looked at Ravenna Morrigan wrong they would dead in seconds.

Even Raziel knew that, he knew that both Rhaenyra and Ravenna could protect themselves. He wasn't happy that Rhaenyra had left, but he wasn't going to question her reasons. 

"Well, I apologise for my absence and the secrecy, but such was necessary. We went to Kings Landing."  

Baelon scoffed as he shook his head, "To what end? What is there other than death and betrayal?"
