AFTER THE WHOLE SHOW DOWN IN THE THRONE ROOM the three Targaryen siblings went into their Mother's chambers and just sat around the fire place either glaring or doing something to distract themselves from the whole outburst of Vaemon Velaryon's slur that was directed towards their little sister who they vowed to look after.
"The bronze dragon will soon become silver," she mutters over and over. Aemond had glanced towards her eyes softening at how her hands were grazing a couple of rocks that she'd set in her lap.
His eye turned to Aegon who was fuming from where he was sitting, he was hiding behind his chalice full of wine, but his face was dark and he was glaring off into the flames. His hand was clenched around the cup – anymore squeezing the cup could shatter. Though, he couldn't blame Aegon for what he felt since he felt the exact same. They'd both seen how Rhaenyra had flinched when Vaemon had stalked up to her and shouted in her face, they seen a flash of fear in her eyes; it made them want to kill the man right then and there.
"Beware the beast beneath the board." Helaena whispers, as she twirled the rocks with her fingers.
This had snapped something in Aegon, his hand unclenched and clenched on the cup. "How dare he call our little sister a whore," he snarls. This had caused his other two siblings to glance over at him, he had a dark look upon his face, "if our dear uncle had not killed that low life I would already be skinning him alive." Aegon's angered look at met Aemond's emotionless one, but he could see his younger brother's hands clench from a fist and then to his hand. "He was getting too close to her. She looked so uncomfortable and scared."
Aemond hums, "perhaps, we shall see if she is alright tonight?" He tilts his head to the side slightly making eye contact with his brother who nods along with what he's saying.
"We shall," he says taking a slow sip of his wine. "But overall I think she handled the court hearing well, though I wanted to rip our grandsire's head off for the way he spoke to Rhaenyra."
Again, Aemond hums. "As did I. I wanted to rip his head off for the way he looked at her too, and we cannot forget how Rhaenyra smirked at him today. She may have looked scared, but both she and Vaemond knew she had already won the court hearing."
"I am very proud of her," Aegon says putting his cup down. "I shall get her a gift and make her look very pretty just like that night you walked in on us having a sibling bonding moment."
The other Prince huffs," she looked very uncomfortable with that." He chuckles when he watches Aegon narrow his eyes at him, "though, it seems she's filling into her role of being the younger sibling, she clearly liked it when we tucked her in."
"Ah, she was so adorable." The older Prince sighs, "the byka mēre would not fall asleep until we had stayed with her."
"Yes," Aemond nods, though his eye narrows onto the fire in front of him. "It seems someone has been filling her head up, she didn't want me to touch her when I found her last night." Helaena looks up and silently listens in, "she claimed that we had sick intentions for her and that we truly did not care for her. I think someone told her that we were doing this to trick her and take her claim to the throne away."
"We would never." Their sister's voice rang softly throughout the room, "we just want to look after her and protect her."
The two brothers soften at her words, "yes, dear sister that is true. But there's someone filling her head up with poison, and I think she was overwhelmed last night with everything going on which is not good for her or the baby." Aegon explains to his sister wife who seemed to frown and nod, completely understanding the situation.
"Oh, I will make her some tea." Helaena says dreamily, "Mother told me that tea is good for any woman who is with child."
"Good idea," Aemond mutters to his sister. "We shall spoil her tonight."
The three siblings were agreeing and chatting amongst themselves with new ideas on how to let Rhaenyra have a relaxing night after being out through so much these past couple of days. They had planned on getting her to regress just like how they witnessed last night; well, Helaena hadn't witnessed it yet, but she would love to have an experience with Rhaenyra.
It seemed like forever before their Mother came through the door, "Mother. We plan on spoiling Rhaenyra tonight, do you wish to join us?" Aegon asks as he set his cup down.
"It seems as though the King would like to have supper with everyone tonight," she says watching as her children suddenly looked glum but straightened up. "Of course, Rhaenyra's family will also be there, and I overheard her telling them to behave. I ask for you to do the same, I am sure you can spoil her afterwards."
The three siblings looked at each other before giving a nod to their Mother, "Mother I would like to inform you with something before we head down."
"What is it?" She asks Aemond who was now standing up and stepped in front of her.
"When I found Rhaenyra last night remember when I told you she was regressed?" Alicent nodded at her son, "she said some things while she would not let me touch her. She said that she 'knew of our intentions' that we were only acting like this towards her for the throne. I think someone has been putting things into her head," he says as he watches her eyes harden.
"Daemon," she mutters quietly, but with her chambers being so quiet everyone had heard. It clicked in the heads of Aegon and Aemond, they should have known, but they were just so angry with what went down today. "He hates when someone else goes near Rhaenyra, I believe he is scared that someone will take her away from him. He has wanted her since she was a child, and even gave her a bad reputation by leaving her at a pleasure house all alone."
Aegon clenched his jaw, he didn't know this. Pleasure houses were also filled with dangers and for his dear uncle to leave Rhaenyra there as a child was unacceptable to him. He would never leave a child somewhere as dangerous as that, "we will take her away from him though. We will also take in her children but they will learn that their mother is ours to take care of as she does belong to us in some way."
Aemond may hate the idea of her children being under the same roof as them, but he knew she would not stay if her children were not here either. He hums, "Aegon is right. She is ours, Mother, and Daemon has no say in it. She will soon learn to rely on us."
"Yes, she deserves a break after all she has been through." Alicent agrees with her children but focuses her attention on Helaena who kept on muttering, the bronze dragon will soon become silver. She wanted to know what that truly meant, and she will ask her daughter later – but for now they better head down for supper.
