Hannibal had indeed settled into the throne and kept his rule secure quite easily. He wa s looking over his family as they ate their dinner. He had just finished scolding his oldest children when the raven arrived. It was an unexpect message and Margarey's reaction made him calm himself as he listened to the surroundings. He heard the clamor of guards moving before he heard the bell and saw gold cloaks streaming into the room.

He stood and kept his demeanor calm. "Children, it is time for bed." He said.

Rhys and Reina stood and Hannibal moved to pick up Aenar. The Gold Cloaks moved in around them to escort them up to their royal suite. Once inside, Rhys and Reina put on their special armor. All four of them tucked themselves into a secret closet that Hannibal had designed once they had moved into the castle for such a purpose. Hannibal moved to strap on his dragon scale armor and assumed Margaery would get dressed in one of her armored dresses. Once he was fully armed he turned to look at Margaery. "Stay here...I will send my Captain to guard you as well. I will burn their ships and return to you." He said as he brushed a lock of her hair behind her ear and kissed her forehead tenderly.
