Throne Room, the Red Keep

132 AC

Otto was dragged in, chained down and dumped at the foot of the Iron Throne.

"Ser Otto Hightower, you are charged with—"

"Princess Rhaenyra, I only answer to the King." Otto said. Several death glares were thrown his way.

"And the King is dead. A Queen rules here now." Rhaenyra countered.

"Anyone who says they are king is no king." Otto attempted.

"But I am not a King." the Queen smiled. "Ser Harrold, please gag him."

Harrold did as he was ordered with a big smile on his face.

"Ser Otto Hightower, you are charged with attempted line theft, planning to usurp the the rightful heir against the kings wishes and will, attempting to a coup, and blackmailing Lord Lyonel Strong, Hand of the Queen to unjustly appoint Vaemond Velaryon over my son, Jacaerys Velaryon. You will be executed here and now." Rhaenyra declared.

Wordlessly, Arryk unsheathed his sword and Otto began struggling as the knight got closer.

Daenaera watched with sick satisfaction when the Hightower Knight's head rolled.

That is today's chapter. I hope you all enjoyed it!
