Summary
There is a time and a place in Westerosi politics when even a king must seek out the houses loyal to them. Those, for whom a bended knee and a shake of a hand still count as value and are not willing to turn away once seeing a higher sum.
Daeron the Good’s wish is hardly impossible: bring the marcher houses deep into the Kingdom’s circle, reconcile so that the Blackfyre rebellion cannot ignite the hearts of people once again. To protect the Crown, the Iron Throne and especially, the legacy and his heirs.
The lack of response, however, forces his hand by the shackles of time, and he must send his son and heir into the lion’s den itself. To visit the family home of his long-deceased wife, and negotiate with the Lady who seems to not only rule over the border, but whisper into the other Lords' ears as well.
Baelor ‘Breakspear’ Targaryen does as his father bids. Begrudgingly, if he is truthful with himself. Yet he travels to the border of Stormlands nonetheless. Unease circles his mind as he thinks of his late wife, the family who — albeit without reason — blame him partially for her demise, and of the Lady Alysanne who appears to loathe him at first glance.
