''It is our fate, I think, to crave always what is given to another. If one possesses a thing, the other will take it away." Helaena remarked.
'' Yes, Princess.'' The handmaiden agreed, as Helaena looked back to her needle point. She was making a Nargle, she believed the nargles lived in mistletoe but no one ever saw them but herself so she was stitching it for her mother to see.
''What's happened?' Helaena asked and Alicent sat next to her.
''Your father...'' Alicent began.
''There is a beast beneath the boards.'' Helaena remarked.
''Oh, my love.'' Alicent said hugging her.
Davina didnt want to have to do this a million times. She wasnt surprised to find Aemond and Haenry in Draeyas chambers. Fully clothed at the moment at least which Davina wondered if she needed to start showing Draeya how to make the teas, just in case. Vaera and Haezel jumped up on the bed. Valyria and Rhaegar slumped in still tired and Aelyx was already falling asleep in Harwin's arms again.
Davina opened her mouth but crawled in with them piling in together. Aemond knew what it must mean. His father was dead.
"It's so early." Rhaegar murmured as he yawned out rolling into Valyria.
"I have something I need to tell you all." Davina remarked as Harwin sat at the base of the bed running a hand up and down Davina's leg. Aelyx crawled up snuggling into Davina before falling asleep again.
"You were crying." Draeya remarked touching her cheek.
"I was." Davina agreed. "Viserys died last night." Davina informed them.
"Uncle Viserys..." Vaera realized.
"The king, my brother, your uncle died in his sleep. He was sick for a long time which you all know." Davina looked to Aemond as he grabbed her hand. "He told me that Aemond is to be his heir." Aemond stared back at her awestruck. He knew Davina and Alicent were leading him down that road but for his own father to declare it himself.
"I am going to be king?" Aemond questioned swallowing the lump in his throat.
"Tomorrow if thats alright, at high noon." Davina agreed through a thick breath. "Your coronation."
"Are we stealing the throne?" Rhaegar questioned.
"No." Davina corrected. "The throne is going to its rightful heir... and I couldnt be more proud of him." Davina assured.
"What will you do about Rhaenyra and Daemon?" Aemond asked. Davina ran a hand over her face.
"I can do it." Haenry offered
"I need that honor myself." Davina corrected.

Viserys was wrapped, his face and body covered in fine cloth, his crown placed upon his stomach. Davina wept over him, her brother, her friend, her family. Aemond was getting what he wanted but Davina hated losing Viserys for him to get it. But she was glad he wasn't in pain anymore. He wasn't hurting, he was at peace. She pressed a kiss to his wrapped up forehead before taking a deep and steading breath heading to the throne room, she still had the houses to deal with.
"Viserys amended his wishes. It's as simple as that." Davina sat on the iron throne. ''You once swore your banners to Rhaenyra. You must now pledge them to the future king." Davina instructed the great houses of westeros.
''I must confer first with my house on this matter.''
''You'll not leave this room without declaring your intention.'' Davina corrected. They looked to Fury as he peered in through the balcony, Hellfire with him.
