Ragnor takes a step back, laughing. "You will remain my queen and more, Your Grace. I understand your caution, but I can't help but think of how I can best serve my queen - who appears to be in dreadful need of something which I can provide. Perhaps we could meet somewhere in secret?"

Rhaenys shook her head. She was torn between regret and duty.
"I wish that I could, but a lord of your pominence...it's too dangerous. And besides, women are parted from their husbands all the time. I don't want to be the type of woman who is ruled by lust."

"So use it to rule me. Everyone knows we Ironborn think only with our axes and our cocks, what better way to ensure I stay loyal?"

"i should not need to ensure your loyalty," Rhaneys said sharply, all desire vanished now.

Ragnor shakes his head.
"Now, that is a mistake. A piece of advice, Your Grace - A lord rules because he keeps his followers happy and rich. Ride my cock or not, that's fine. But anyone with power needs to ensure the loyalty of those under him in some way."

"I gave you your ancestral lands adn abride who has given you a son and another child on the weay," she said irritably. "And you couldn't even prevent my men being murdered on your lands. Why should I reward you in light of that?"

"You also allowed that wife to fuck anything with a cock while under your protection, and threaten to let the Mander steal lands which have been ours for decades." Ragnor's voice has gone cold. "Not to mention, throw around accusations and force my lords to ignore their duties to me by wasting their time in King's Landing. I'd say we come out even, here."

She gave him a cold glare.
"Firstly, your wife is the ruler of her own destiny and I did not give her permission to play fast and loose. Anything she did was of her own making, not of mine. As to the Mander lords, I know not of what you speak."

Ragnor rolls his eyes, smiling bitterly.
"Of course you don't. Well, I need to find a brothel before I go to speak with Lannister. Pleasure speaking with you, Your Grace, and my bed remains open whenever you like."

"No, tell me about the Mander lords first," Rhaenys commanded. "I might even reward you for it if you do."

"Fuck, you likely know more than me. I just hear things, that the fool you put in charge of the Mander has been going out of his way to demand them back. With his reputation, wouldn't be surprised if he meant to try and take them by force."

"You mean the Shields?" She said. "i told Dawnrose he would wait to discuss the situation with civility. It was my express command that he wait and then the two of you were to come to an agreement, one way or the other. I told him if he wanted the Sheilds back he would have to find something to offer you instead."
Rhaenys sighed.
"i shall have words with him. You have my word upon it."

"Right. Let him know that before he touches my lands, I'll have every living thing on them put to the sword and burned. I'm not interested in his offers."

She gave him an angry look.
"You'll do no such thing. Do you nto see that I am trying to be fair to youi both here?"

"Fair would be not bothering with the petty claims to lands that Ironborn have died for."
