A Baratheon? [ That alone would not immediately give Rhaenyra cause for concern; House Baratheon has been an ally for many years, with several descendants of Aegon the Conqueror marrying into their line. But Jace's words also echo what little she has learned from Daenerys as well, that House Targaryen does not sit the Iron Throne, and has not in several generations. A greater question still hangs over her then: who was responsible for overthrowing their house, and when?

It is a smaller concern to take into consideration when her son stands before her, all but confirming that Aegon's dream will come to pass; yet, instead of the Seven Kingdoms standing against the threat, it seems as though only the northern houses take up arms, allied with their descendant, while the Baratheons who hold seat in King's Landing withhold their forces.

Rhaenyra nods quietly, considering everything she's just been informed of. ]

She will not hear of it from me. Better for her not to know of something that has yet to transpire when she is as far removed from her dragons as we are. But this is... [ She exhales quietly, the faintest smile emerging over her features. ] You've done well, Jace. Very well, indeed.

[ It reaffirms, for her, that she must not only continue her efforts in reclaiming what is rightfully hers, but also not lose sight of her true purpose — in ensuring that her descendants are prepared for the war to come. ]
