''Here you are." Rhaenyra remarked coming up to Luke.
"The sea snake is going to die, isn't he?" Luke questioned turning to her nervously.
'Luke.'
''I can't be Lord of the Tides. Grandsire was the greatest sailor who ever lived. I get green sick before the ship even leaves the harbor." Luke reminded her nervously. ''I'll just ruin everything. I don't want Driftmark. It should have passed on to surveyman.'' Luke begged "I just want to go back to the capital, mama Dav said I could stay!" He begged.
''We don't choose our destiny, Luke. It chooses us.'' Rhaenyra reminded him grabbing roughly to his shirt.
''Grandsire, let you choose whether you be as a... You told us so." Luke reminded her holding back a sob. Corlys had been found but he was a mess, beaten by the seas, no one expected him to live.
"And do you want to know the truth of it?" Rhaenyra questioned him ''I was frightened. I was four and ten. Same as you are now. I wasn't ready to be queen of the Seven Kingdoms. But it was my duty, and in time I came to understand I had to earn my inheritance." Rhaenyra reminded him, she knew her time was coming when she last saw her father he was fading fast, the crown would be hers soon enough.
''I'm not like you.'' Luke whimpered
''In what way, sweet boy?''
''Not so... power hungry.'' Luke informed her, Rhaenyra stared back down at him as he pulled from her grip. "Mama Dav wouldn't make me, she wouldn't send me to the seas and she wouldn't make me marry either!" Luke declared.
"I will hear no more of this." Rhaenyra hissed.
''Good morrow, Princess.'' She turned to the door, taking a step away from Luke.
"Good morrow, Sir Laurent." She answered
''Princess Rhaenys has just arrived on Dragon back. We urgently request an audience with you and Prince Daemon.'' He informed her and she sucked in a deep breath. That couldn't mean anything good.
"Get out." Rhaenyra demanded of Luke and he stormed off
"Dav-"
"Not another word!" Rhaenyra shouted back.
"The Princess Rhaenys Targaryen.'' He announced as Rhaenyra and Daemon stood waiting for her.
''Thank you, Sir Laurence.... Princess Rhaenys, might we hope for news of Lord Corlys's recovery?" Rhaenyra said hopefully.
"Viserys is dead." Rhaenys informed her bluntly. Rhaenyra stared back at her, she didn't expect this news, not right now. ''I grieve this loss with you, Rhaenyra. My cousin. Your father. Possessed a kind heart." Rhaenyra looked to Daemon letting out a thick breath. ''There is more.'' She turned her gaze back to Rhaenys as Rhaenys got closer, her steps slow but precise. ''Aemond has been crowned as his successor. They crowned him."
"How did Viserys die?"
"I could not say." Rhaenys admitted
''How long ago?'
''A day past, perhaps two. I was made a prisoner in my quarters while the Queen made her preparations." Rhaenys informed them. '' Viserys has been slain.'' Rhaenys repeated slowly for them to process.
"Davina and Alicent demanded you declare for Aemond." Rhaenyra remarked.
"They did.' Rhaenys agreed. ''I refused her.'
''And yet you are alive.'' Daemon mused unconvinced of her loyalty. "That doesn't sound like Davina, she is a burn first ask questions never type of gal."
