Rhaenys smiled.
"Well, I don't wish to spend all my life counting coins since I am a warrior first and a...merchant second, but a few more would be pleasing. I hope to have a new partner soon and he'll want to make a profit of his own. Besides, my sisters Alys and Kyma have their own investments and we don't want the world to be overru with golden dragons, do we?"

"Perhaps I have made the choice already, uncle."

The queen's face was solemn. She was sure she knew about the harsh aspects of fate better than he did.
"I know it. Thank you, you've bene most helpful. I will never forget the time we spend here, uncle. In the meantime, may I rest and take food and drink?"
