Viserys was getting his daily treatments as per usual when Davina came in to check on his status. Birds were chirping in the early morning sunlight as Davina pushed the curtains open.

"Gods its stuffy in here Vis." Davina declared.

"Hello Dav." Viserys rasped.

"Fresh air is good for everyone. Let's get some of this death like stink out of your room." Davina declared. Viserys coughed out a laugh.

"I want to have supper, Dav." Viserys remarked.

"Now?" Davina countered. "In the morning... sure forget eggs and go on to stews first thing. Whatever you want Vis.'' Davina agreed patting his back.

''Tonight." Viserys corrected.

"Ah, tonight. Much better. I adore breaking fast." Davina agreed.

" The whole of my family... are gathered at the Red Keep. I want us...'' Viserys struggled to keep his breath. ''to dine together.'' He groaned as he moved, the pain to much.

''Bring milk of the poppy.'' Davina instructed.

''No. Just arrange the supper.'' Viserys murmured. "Are you alright love?"

"Super duper." Davina agreed as he handed him some water.

"Daemon and Rhaenyra are here. I know you Dav, you are not fine." Viserys corrected.

"I'm going to head outside and get some fresh air myself." Davina offered. "The less time I have to see either of them the better." 

"Good idea." Viserys remarked. 

"Great fucking idea." Davina declared pressing a gentle kiss to his forehead.

"Ready davi?" Alicent called out. Davina turned to her. "I love when you wear green." Alicent added seeing Davina's pinched face she hesitated. "What is it Davi?"

"Ready? Oh right, the petitions, I'm going to skip it

"Ready? Oh right, the petitions, I'm going to skip it. Less bloodshed that way." Davina offered. 

"Come on. I need you." Alicent corrected. 

"If I see him again, I might kill him." 

"I'm okay with that." Alicent agreed and Davina found herself smiling as Alicent moved closer. "Come on, I need you." Alicent requested hugging her and Davina sighed leaning into her. 

"For you." Davina agreed.

"The drawer.'' Viserys rasped. "Give it to... the council." Otto pulled the drawer open.

"A scroll my king?"

"They will know." Viserys rasped. 

"This is it. You want to announce it..." Otto realized. 

"I do."

"I had a talk with my father last night, what venom have you whispered in his ear?" Rhaenyra questioned. 

"Venom? No venom." Davina questioned. "I'm not Daemon." Rhaenyra scoffed. 

"He is a great man. You are the monster." Rhaenyra corrected and Davina took a threatening step forward. 

"Tell me Rhaenyra where you on your knees when you kissed his crown?"

"You dont know him at all!" Rhaenyra declared but Davina knew Rhaenyra was rattled. 

''He'll charm you with that smile. Hide the red flags for a little while... trust me I know." Davina remarked. " I bet He said he never falls this hard, yeah, I remember that part." Rhaenyra glanced back at Daemon as he lurked. But she couldn't show weakness. Couldn't let Davina know she might be right. That Rhaenyra should have believed the signs that she wasn't different.

"He knows how to say all the right things he knows how to get you out of that dress." Davina went on. "He knows how to make you think you're the best thing but I know what happens next."

"I'm not you. You are not me." Rhaenyra countered marching off.

"And thank the Gods for that." Davina agreed. "Because I found true love and children that love me, care about me, people that don't want my inheritance, my titles, my claims just me."

"He does love me." RHaenyra corrected marching back up to her. "He loves me."

"Only loves you when he's drunk. I know you know better. He doesn't believe in monogamy. But he swears it's forever I mean its not like he didnt kill the last two women he was married to."

"Im not them. He loves me. We are wed and one day we will rule together!" Rhaenyra shouted. "Everything will be better when Im the queen!"

"I know you think that you can fix him, he could change. You tell yourself that he won't always be this way." Davina offered "But I promise, all your hoping is in vain."

"Its not!"

"Girl for goodness sake." Davina huffed out. "If know he says his ex is crazy and all his friends are shady..."

"You are crazy. You are a psychopath."

"Dont you know never to call a psychopath a psychopath? It hurts their feelings." Davina remarked.

"Im not you!" Rhaenyra knew davina was right though. Rhaenyra was pregnant again but she remembered that night clearly. He was drunk and he called her Davina. She felt so worthless she had to prove to herself and Daemon that she was more. Which meant standing up to Davina. Pushing her aside. Taking her damn crown and ruling. Daemon would love Rhaenyra when she gave him the kingdoms. She knew it. Things would change when Rhaenyra was the queen and Daemon would be her king. Rhaenyra would give daemon something Davina never could.

"And if he calls you honey while he fucks the rest of westeros and if your intuition's saying something's missing like it did with me a little bit too late into the madness. Well you Better run better run." Davina declared. 'Because if he walks like a fuckboy. Talks like a fuckboy. Acts like a fuckboy. He's a fuckboy." Davina declared.

"He does. He loves me! He didnt love you. He never loved you!"

"I told myself that too for a while." Davina remarked. "It didnt make it true though."

"Davina." She wanted to rip his head off. Gouge his eyes and dismember him piece by piece. She couldnt handle them both. She had only just gotten her speech to Rhaenyra out when Daemon cornered her. Where was Tommen when she needed him?

"Busy." Davina hissed as she kept walking.

"Im sure you are." Daemon agreed catching up to her. "Ive been busy as well." He smirked she didnt even have to turn around to know. "Did you meet the tw-"

Davina had enough. She was done being nice. She sent an elbow back into his nose and Daemon faltered back. A swift kick under his legs and he was one his back with a thwack. He groaned out as he lay in pain below her.

"Know that if I didnt have to deal with this stupid fucking petition right now I would rip you apart!" Davina declared before stomping away. Daemon lay there his nose bleeding his head throbbing unable to find the strength to rise.

"That was so sexy." Alicent whispered following her in.

"Well I'm planning a lot more demonic abuse so get ready." Davina agreed and she wanted to kiss Alicent right then and there but knew the trouble that would rise she settled for holding her hand leaning into her as they took their spots.
