King Rhaegar and his council are having their meeting without Princess Rhaenyra and Prince Jaehaerys because they are the sole purpose of the called assembly.

" I'm not certain if you notice, Your Grace. But the main talk during the week feast for Prince Jaehaerys name day was the issue of the succession of the Iron Throne. " Lord Tywin Lannister, the Hand of the King began.

" What do you mean? Does it still need to be clarified? " King Rhaegar questioned.

" Your Grace, the lords, and the people of the realm are informed about Princess Rhaenyra because your father had ordered it. " Grand Maester Pycelle stated.

" And with the reputation that King Aerys left. His royal decree is in jeopardy. " Lord Varys added.

" You have three sons, Your Grace. Surely, one of them is fit to follow you on the throne. " Lord Mace Tyrell said the Master of Coin.

" If we are going to base the succession on traditions. Prince Aegon should be the heir. After all, he is your eldest son. " The Grand Maester continued.

The King was silent on his chair. His best companions, Ser Arthur, Ser Barristan, and Lord Jon Connington observed the change of expression on his face while Lord Monford Velaryon keep his mouth shut as he knows that Rhaegar is not pleased about the topic of their conversation.

" My father is indeed mad but he didn't make that decree just because he wanted it. I agreed with his decision because I know that it is the right choice. " King Rhaegar speak up. 

" Ever since my daughter is three, she's been thought how to be a queen. Now, you want me to strip it from her just because I have three sons? " The once kind and gentle look on the king's face changed into stern.

" But Your Grace, No woman had sat on the Iron Throne, Princess Rhaenyra's name sake was disposed by her own brother who also has the same name as your eldest son. If we act now, we might prevented another case of Dance of Dragons. " Grand Maester Pycelle said.

" Aegon and Rhaenyra fighting for the throne? Are you too old to see that, Prince Aegon will never harm his sister? " Lord Jon Connington Spoken.

" It is not Prince Aegon who might challenge the princess's succession of the princess. " All their gazes turned to Lord Velaryon.

" I apologize about what I'm going to say, Your Grace. But we are all aware who could overthrow your oldest child. " He continued.

" I'm not having this conversation! I will not sit here and let you talk about how my children will slaughter one another once I'm dead! " Rhaegar's angry voice echoed throughout the whole council room that became silent.

The members of the small council lower their heads as they felt the rage from their king. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself.

" Rhaenyra is my daughter. My firstborn child. The first one who brought joy in my life. " Rhaegar stated, breaking the silence between them.

" I already made up my mind. I will not change the line of my succession. I will not replace Rhaenyra as my heir. " He intently told his council.

" There is only one way to settle this matter. " The Hand of the King said.

" And that is? " Ser Arthur asked.

" Gather all the Lord Paramount of the realm. Made them swear fealty to Rhaenyra. Officially declare her as the Crown Princess. " Lord Tywin answered.

" We only have to call the Lord Paramount of the Trident, Stormlands, Iron Islands, The Vale, and the ruling prince of Dorne. " Ser Barristan Selmy said.
