ONCE AGAIN, EVERYONE WAS IN THE throne room for the hundredth time this month, well except Lucerys, he'd been locked in Aemond's room and wasn't allowed out of it. Again, talks of war soon spurred around the room, questions were asked on what they should do about Rhaenyra as she and Daemon had been burning down cities that have betrayed her, or would not alliance themselves with her. Everyone had seen Otto Hightower angry when he had heard Rhaenyra burned down old town – the home of where his family lived, shivers were sent down their spines as they watched him order for people to start killing innocents to get back at the Queen knowing that would make her come here willingly.
But for the past weeks, Rhaenyra had been silent, the council talked and talked about it, thinking she'd actually bent the knee. They knew she was up to something, and Otto knew it wasn't good, the girl had got rid of him once who's to say she won't do it again this time for good.
The throne room was full of Otto's army and his council men who were shouting back and fourth at one another; they were all afraid, they'd all underestimated Rhaenyra.
Alicent who was stood next to her son who was forced into the throne once more listened to all of them, she knew that she wasn't the only one between her children that could see the council beginning to fear for their lives. Yes, it absolutely shocked her to her core when she found out Rhaenyra burnt Old Town to the ground, yet, shocked at herself that she didn't care as the family was full of traitors and liars. The first time hearing about it in the throne room, she was silent. However, Aegon looked very proud, he held a smirk on his face while Aemond's lips had curled up into a half smile, and Helaena who was blank the entire time, but her eyes held a dark glint.
The woman was snapped out of her thoughts at her fathers words, "forget about getting her to bend. We need to take her out, she and Daemon need to die!" His voice booms through the entire hall, "they are both dragons for crying out loud, they do not bend!"
"No!" Alicent shouts causing every head to look towards her, "I forbid it. Touch her and see what happens to you afterwards."
"My mother is correct," Aegon speaks up. Now, attention was not only onto him, but Aemond as well, they glared angrily at Otto Hightower. "If I see a single scratch on Rhaenyra, I will have all of your heads on spikes."
"Do be quiet, Aegon, you are not to be involved in this conversation." Otto waves him off before turning back around to open his mouth but the boy on the throne cuts him off.
"Then why am I here?" Otto turns back towards him, "why have me in the throne room while you discuss on how to kill my little sister, hm?" He asks, his eyes darkened heavily, the man has fully awoken the dragon.
"You are here because you are the King–" "No, I am here because you want us to listen in on how you plan on torturing her and then slaughter her. You want us to listen because we have chosen her over your stupid ploy, Otto." He has cut the older man off as he began to mock him, "we want no part on these matters that you drag us into. You do not even want us to fight because you know each and every one of us will turn against each and everyone of you and take you out for good."
"It is a pity that you did take my sword." Aemond quips up, "I do very much miss it and it would be great if I saw heads of the traitors meet my blade."
Both brothers look at one another and smirk, they glanced around at the men who looked down fearfully. Aegon didn't flinch when Otto stormed towards him, "you foolish boy, after everything I have done for you; this is how you treat me?!"
"You did this to yourself, and you have done nothing but abuse me all my life. It was my mother who has done everything for me, and I truly wish I can pay her back, but I cannot because we have been placed in chains." He spoke up, he stands up from his throne, but he does not move an inch. He glares down at the older man who's eyes were filled with madness. "When I get out of these chains you have placed me in I will come for you first. You have berated my family and I and took us as fools, and I will not show you any mercy after all the things you have said about our little sister." His tone was cold, not even Alicent stepped in, this wasn't Aegon, this was the dragon from within him protecting what is his.
"Guards," he nods at the two men who nod back before hastily pulling Alicent from her son. One of the men point his sword to her neck making her shut her eyes with fear, she could feel her heart beating loudly as Aemond and Aegon shout. "This is what happens when you disobey me, now your mother will have to pay the price."
"Unhand her!" Aegon shouts at Otto with rage, he descends down from the throne with Aemond backing him up from behind. He goes to say something but a guard quickly makes his way into the throne room not realising the tension within the hall.
"My Lord!" He cries out causing many eyes to now turn to the guard who disturbed them all, "there are dragons flying this way as well as many ships!"
"Princess Rhaenyra is coming to destroy us all and you fools are arguing!" The man who captured Prince Lucerys calls out.
"She's here!" Many people in the hall cry out.
Aegon smirks to himself, he sends a look to his siblings who looked very happy to know that their little sister had not given up. She became so quiet for the sake of laying down low to attack, Aegon had to give it to her, she was very fucking smart.
"All of you go and take your stations!" Otto orders, the council men stay where they are and their guards/army all go to their positions while Otto looks at his so called traitorous family, "this is not over. Once we win the war and take Rhaenyra out, your heads will be on spikes!" He says sharply.
"Hm, you do mean that your head will be on a spike." Aemond smirks while Helaena tries to get closer to their mother, but the guards do not give her any access making her hold onto Aegon's cloak tightly.
They all had faith in Rhaenyra. Not one of them have given up on her. They were so proud of their little dragon.
