Prior to risk-taking, we should be evaluating our options. @pointandkick made an excellent point about preparing for mishaps.

Were you aiming to gain my favor, offering me a fleet at one point in my life might've accomplished that. Unwavering loyalty, not just in idea, but in displays. Vengeance against those who would do me or mine harm, or who would betray me.

We understand that the queen is in power. Her daughter threatens that power, and she must understand that as well. Why keep a threat alive? Because that is part of her line. A mother will not slay her children.
