The Ironborn could be stealthy when they needed to be. Euron led his small band into the Red Keep. Silently they slaughtered any guards unfortunate enough to cross their path as they moved through the corridor. Their came a great roar as Vhagar took off that had them all frozen in place for a moment.

But once the King was gone, they were empowered to move.

Euron led them through the castle and up into the private chambers. The Ironborn searched, but thanks to their superb hiding place, the children were nowhere to be found. Margaery, on the other hand, was not so fortunate.

They found her in a guest chamber, hidden with Hannibal's captain and several other guards. Euron grinned at the sight of his preferred prey.

"Your Grace," he gave a dramatic bow. "I have come to offer myself to you."

"Get out," she hissed. "My husband will kill you for this uprising."

"Ah, and where is your husband when his wife and children are in danger?" Euron sneered.

The Ironborn attacked, slaughtering all who stood in their way until Euron was able to grab Margaery. They fled the castle, tying the Queen securely before returning to their smaller, secret boat to escape Blackwater Bay.

It would be several hours before Hannibal's dying captain would make it to the signals - and by then, Euron was past Dragonstone with his prize and nearly back to Pyke.
