AEGON WAS SITTING ON THRONE WITH HIS jaw clenched, he and his family that were being imprisoned and threatened were surrounded by council members awaiting for Otto Hightower's return from Dragonstone. He was holding Helaena's shaky hand gently as she seeked comfort from both of her brothers, he and his mother were both pissed that he left without telling anyone, but they knew this was his scheme in his plot he was creating.
He lifts his head as the guard welcomes him back, everyone glances at him and notices the dark look that was upon his face. He guessed it didn't go very well, he couldn't help for the small smile to appear on his face.
"Lord Hightower," Jason Lannister nods to him. "I presume Rhaenyra agreed to the matters given at hand to her?"
"No, she did not." He sighs looking up at the other members, "she threw our kindness back in our faces and threatened me. Not only that, she has crowned herself the 'true' Queen, she has mocked all of us."
"She has crowned herself Queen?" One of the men repeated, "how? She does not have a crown to do so."
"She has King Viserys' crown, one of our own betrayed us and stole it and gave it to her." He explains causing an uproar in the throne room, the council started shouting profanities.
Aegon couldn't help but find this very amusing, he was grinning ear to ear. Rhaenyra had went and crowned herself, and she threatened Otto, he felt pride swell in his chest towards his sister. He eyed his mother in the corner of his eyes and noticed how worried she looked, and then to his sibling, Helaena showed no emotion while Aemond smirked.
"Enough!" Otto shouts, "we must go to other houses and get their backup on Aegon's behalf and it should cause Rhaenyra to fall back into her place."
The men were all adding in some parts that caused Aemond and Aegon to glare at them for, they were talking badly about their little sister right in front of them, they all seriously had a death wish. One of the maesters that went with Otto had interjected, "if I may Lord Hightower." He asks for permission to speak which the man had turned to nod at, "Princess Rhaenyra seems to be no longer with child."
This caused many to quieten down, all eyes were now on this man as he fiddles with his hands that were resting in front of him. "Hm?"
"She didn't have her baby bump, and she seemed weaker when she walked towards us, it seems as though she had given birth." He explains, "but the last time I seen her which was when she first came here, her bump was far too small, and the babe was no were near ready to be born, and with the look of grief on her face, I believe she lost her baby."
Nobody spoke, but the maester continued, "all the stressful emotions that she's been put through which is not good for a woman who is with child. She must have lost her baby to all of this news that has suddenly been thrusted upon her –" he was about to continue but he was suddenly cut off by a sword cutting his head off.
Jason stood over him and looked towards Otto who had commanded him to kill the maester, the grandsire of the greens had a dark sinister smile upon his face. He stood there, "my friends." He starts, "it seems we have an advantage after all."
The older man looked up at his daughter who stood next to her eldest child, she had tears streaming down her face, and he couldn't seem to forget the anger and sadness on his grandchildren who stare at him with so much hate. "We could use her weakness and vulnerability to get as many people as we can, and then we ambush her when she is in mourning of her child." He starts giving out on who was going to who. "I will send in one of my greatest allies to go to Lord Borros Baratheon, no doubt he will bend to Aegon."
"Meeting over." He calls out once more as they all soon began to flee with their missions set upon them. He looked back to where his family were, Alicent had fell to her knees, he smiles with fake sympathy, he walks up to her. "Stop your pitiful crying, Alicent."
"Y-You took her baby from her!" She cries out, "she was just getting better and then you do this to hurt her!" She tells shakily pointing at him, "how could you do this?"
"I have done nothing," he states. But his next words cut through all of them like sharp swords, "perhaps, she was not ready to be a mother again, after all she did fail with the last two, this is the gods punishing her."
"You monster!" Alicent lashed forward grabbing onto her fathers waistcoat.
"I have tried to be patient with you Alicent," he states before looking at the guards. "Take the Queen and her children to their chambers and keep them there." He orders, he watches as they protested but kept on moving, they give him one last look as he calls out, "if it is a war Rhaenyra wants it is one she is going to get."
He listens to Alicent curse him out as she is thrown from the room, Otto sighs as he makes his way towards the iron throne, he sits down upon it and glances around the empty room. The Hightowers will now rule, he wasn't going to let some Princess who calls herself Queen get in his way.
