"GOOD MORROW, PRINCESS." SER LORENT calls out breaking the mother and son apart.
"Good Morrow, Ser Lorent." She says smiling at the guard who holding onto his sword and the other holding his helmet under his arm.
He nods his head at her, "Princess, Rhaenys has just arrived on dragon back. She urgently requests an audience with you and Prince Daemond."
Lucerys looks up at his mother who gives him a small forehead kiss with a smile, he smiles before leaving the room as she heard Daemon coming in and up to her. He was wondering the exact same thing as she was, why was Rhaenys here?
Daemon and Rhaenyra turn around when they heard footsteps, the Princess smiled at the other Princess who looked very serious. "Princess Rhaenys Targaryen," the guard calls out as the said Princess descends the stairs and towards the married couple.
"Thank you, Ser Lorent." Rhaenyra says with a head bow before turning to the older woman, "Princess Rhaenys, we hope for news of Lord Corlys' recovery." She was cut off by the older Princess.
"Viserys is dead." Rhaenyra stopped in her tracks, she stared back at the woman in shock, her father was dead? She felt her tears well up in her eyes, but they did not fall. "I grieve this loss with you Rhaenyra, my cousin, your father....possessed a kind heart." Rhaenyra watches as the older Princess walked over to her, the girl took a step back as her heart pounded loudly in her ears.
"There is more," she says watching as the Princess was trying not to break. "Aegon has been crowned as his successor," that made the girls head snap up. Aegon? She felt pain in her stomach, she gasps while holding onto her stomach, Aegon crowned King? Viserys came closer to his wife but she hardly noticed, "they crowned Aegon as King."
"How did Viserys die?" Daemon asks his cousin who looked back at him with a small shrug.
"I could not say, he passed two days perhaps, I'm not sure I was kept prisoner in my quarters, and Otto had began the preparations." She says, "let's just hope it was peaceful for him."
Thoughts were running around Rhaenyra's head, "Viserys has been slain." Daemon says looking at his wife who was hardly listening as she felt so much betrayal.
"Alicent demanded you declare for Aegon?" She asks heartbrokenly, looking up at the older woman who looked at her sadly. Betrayed is all she felt, they had used her, they.....got her vulnerable just to tear her down. Daemon was right, she was a fool.
Rhaenys shook her head, "Otto did. Alicent demanded me to get out of the castle and come to you, to tell you that she didn't want any of this, none of them did. Viserys told her you were to sit the throne, and Otto took charge when he realised Alicent was not, he's holding them as prisoners in their own home." She explains. "I refused him, and did as she asked."
Rhaenyra looked up, she didn't know what to say or do, she listened to Daemon growl at Rhaenys who started to explain how the High Septum crowned Aegon in the dragon pit, and how Aegon looked ready to slaughter everyone that turned their backs on their true Queen. The young heir didn't know what to do, she let her tears fall and gasps again when she felt pain in her lower abdomen. "They crowned him before the masses?"
"So that the masses would see him as their rightful King," Rhaenys says to Rhaenyra who looked ready to crumble any moment now.
Daemon glowered, "that whore of a Queen murdered my brother and stole his throne and you could've burned them."
"The Queen didn't kill anyone," she replied back to Daemon. "I wasn't about to start a war when they didn't want it in the first place, it's the council and Otto's doings. I've already told you this cousin, the Queen and her children are innocent in all of this, they believe Rhaenyra to sit upon the throne."
"Hmm," Daemon grumbles as he walks over to the lightened fire. He was wondering what to do with all of this, but he listens to the two woman behind him.
"Otto and his men are coming for you Rhaenyra, and for your children. We should leave Dragonstone at once," she exclaims as she walks back towards the stairs.
Rhaenyra's tears kept on falling down her cheek, she lets out a agonising moan, all eyes were now on her. She was bent over holding her stomach, she mumbles before lifting up her skirts putting her hand under and then back out to see blood. "No, no, no." She says anxiously, "baby's coming." She says to everyone.
Rhaenys rushed over to the girl and grabbed onto her, calling for the guard to grab the midwives. She rushed Rhaenyra to her chambers, wincing when she sees the trail of blood behind them. The young heir cries out in pain, she lets her tears fall faster, she felt pain, betrayal and sadness. "Shh, Rhaenyra, you are going to be okay." The older woman hushes quietly.
"T-They crowned him, they....they betrayed me. They used me!" She cries out in agony, her emotions creating a storm in the hallway.
"No, they didn't, I swear to you, Princess." She says rubbing her back, "they didn't want this, they knew it belonged to you. Otto is the one behind all of this, he's keeping them as prisoners." She explains slightly once more, Rhaenyra felt some sort of relief but as she felt more and more blood dribble down her legs, it panicked her.
"I–I want my mama!" She cries out loudly, "I can't do this alone, please! I want Alicent, please!" She says limping faster to the chambers.
Princess Rhaenys stares down at her taken back, but she understood the relationship dynamic the greens had going on with her. "I'm sure you will see them soon, Rhaenyra, they love you so much." She cooes softly to the woman as she entered through the youngers chambers with her.
She helped Rhaenyra change into a nightgown and kept hushing her softly when she'd yell out Alicent and Helaena's names along with Aemond and Aegon's. She stood in the middle of the hall staring at the Princess and also waiting for the midwives to show up.
This was too soon for the baby to be born, Rhaenys herself knew this. She could only pray for the baby and Rhaenyra to be alright.
