354
00:23:22,298 --> 00:23:25,831
since your forbear incinerated
much of it with his dragon.

355
00:23:25,836 --> 00:23:29,176
Well, that is precisely why we must
bring it into a state of repair.

the coin, my prin...

357
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,941
Your Grace, to what possible end?

358
00:23:36,946 --> 00:23:39,044
There are 40,000 swords
in the Riverlands,

359
00:23:39,049 --> 00:23:41,012
the largest undeclared
host in the realm.

360
00:23:41,017 --> 00:23:43,515
Only Harrenhal is of a size
enough to garrison them.

361
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,184
You should know that
a substantial number

362
00:23:45,189 --> 00:23:47,019

363
00:23:47,024 --> 00:23:48,821
and are presently at war.

364

have long detested one another.

- Oh, well...

370

371

Tully, but he grows frail.

375

His grip on his bannermen is weak.

377
00:24:26,797 --> 00:24:28,427
I will speak with him nonetheless.

and a dragon

382

Ser Gwayne, welcome to King's Landing.

405
00:25:57,557 --> 00:26:00,786
How exhilarating
to arrive at court after
