“I dreamt… many things,” she murmured, eyes turning murky. “The seasons keep turning, and the long summer draws near…”
“Then, can you tell me?” Rhaella pressed. “What will become of me?”
The woodswitch raised her head, and her eyes were now clear but full of pity.
“Knowing will do you no good, princess.”

Thanks for the chapter!
Her gaze roamed across the royal box. Most of it was full, and even Maegor’s Tanner wife had come, sitting at the very corner. Princess Loreza aside, her mother had brought along two of [her fastidious hens] she called ladies-in-waiting today, too. But the seat beside Aerys was still conspicuously empty, though she didn’t think much of Genna’s absence.
The phasing feels a little off, maybe “the fastidious hens” or “her fastidious hens that she”.

“Niggardly”? WTF?
I couldn’t even continue the sentence.

  So Arys almost certainly died in the explosion but Aegon left the stands earlier to go to the restroom. He might still be alive. The timeline is so different now that house Targaryen was just attacked and damaged. Its something I’ve always loved about your stories.

  It’s a real word, if archaic. It basically means stingy, but more severe. Like being stingy to the point of dishonor. And no, it has no particular relation to the word you’re confusing it for.

  I also wonder if there will be more to Jon’s supposed stark heritage. There’s always errold Stark the brother of Willam, artos and rodrik stark. The dude has nothing of record besides existing. Maybe jon could be connected to him as a bastard son. Especially once the direwolf comes out.

The plot thickens. Jon isn’t neglecting Tormund’s education and Rhaella is in the middle of a huge problem.
