Arianne Martell and conspirators try to spirit Myrcella Baratheon away in order to crown her Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. Their plot is foiled by Areo Hotah - who ambushes them and kills Arys Oakheart. Mackelly and Simon will miss the big guy.

Chapter Review:
Princess Arianne Martell and a handful of her closest friends wait at an abandoned holdfast for Ser Arys Oakheart and Princess Myrcella Baratheon. The rendezvous is the start of a long journey across Dorne. At the end of the journey, Arianne plans to crown Myrcella as Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. While they wait, her friend Garin shares news of the sighting of Arianne’s brother Quentyn Martell in Planky Town seeking passage across the Narrow Sea. This only affirms Arianne’s suspicions that Quentyn seeks the aid of the Golden Company to steal Arianne’s birthright. With the new queen of the Seven Kingdoms on her side, and the support of the vast majority of the Dornish, Arianne will be sure to foil any of her brother’s plans.

When Ser Arys and Princess Myrcella arrive, Aryanne explains to Myrcella that Myrcella is the rightful queen and that Tommen has fallen in with bad advisors who have robbed her of her birthright. A confused Myrcella decides not to push the issue. The group leave for the Greenblood. Garin’s family will meet them and take them up the river toward their destination.

After a long, hot trip they arrive at the meeting point and find the boat where it should be. However, as they approach Aero Hotah steps onto the deck. Prince Doran’s Captain of Guard tells them to stand down or all but the princesses must die. Most drop their weapons and yield. Ser Arys charges the boat and is cut down by bolts and ultimately Aero’s axe. Arianne notices that Myrcella sobs into blood-covered hands before looking up at Areo. How did her father know? Areo responds that someone told. Someone always tells.
