"Prince Aldriic," Rhaenys said with a warmth she did not feel. "How goes matters with Dorne? Havey ou received further word from Thatcher yet?"

"No, and I have brought a thousand men with me. I have sent ravens to every lord instructing them there shall be no bargain with the bastard." Aldric replied, and he stared into his cup listlessly.

Good," Rhaenys said. "There must be some bargaining, if your sister's life is to be saved, but I will be the one to do it, not your lords."

"Why are we even going to bargain with this animal." Aldric asked.

"Because he claims to have your sister, the Princess of Dorne. Do you not value her life at all?"

"I do, and if I thought for a moment Thatcher was going to spare here I would trade my own life in her place, but he will not. It is not his way." Aldric replied.

"Why ask us for terms then if he will not return her? He must know we will give him nothing without Aurora being returned to us."

Aldric shivered with drunken fury, "He has no reason. He is a monster. I will have him when he comes for this gold. And then I will skin him."

A chill went through Rhaenys at his unsavoury words.
"Skin him?" She repeated. "Because that is what he did to your father? I think that would not be a good idea. I want him dead swiftly, his corpse burned to ash."

"And my sister. He is a blight on my families." Aldric shook, "I will not let him have an easy death. Not this time."

"Nor should you," Rhaenys answered. "I'm of a mind, if it's possible, to give him to Elannyria. Let him die by dragonfire, as the Targaryens did of old. They say burning is a horrible death. There are few men I'd wish that on but Thaddeus Thatcher deserves such a fate."

Aldric replied, "You can burn everything but a foot of skin for every Martell he has harmed. I can live with that."

"You will not dictate to me, Prince Aldric," said Rhaenys. "I do not wish to see the man skinned even partially. I want him dead and beyond threatening any man or woman again. v It serves no purpose to skin him also."

Hope you all are well and happy.
