"Make way for the royal wheelhouse!" the Capitan shouted as Tommen, Alicent and Davina approached. "Go on, move yourself! Come on!"

"You alright Dav?" TOmmen questioned. 

"I'm going to be queen." Davina remarked still in a daze. "What if I'm no good?"

"Why are you questioning yourself? YOu never question yourself?" Tommen countered as Davina held tight to Alicent's hand. 

"I did as I wanted, I didnt have the realms watching me." Davina remarked. "I was-"

"Viserys knew you would be a good queen. Just like I do." Alicent assured. "He chose you for a reason. Trust him." 

"What if I burn the world down?" Davina whispered. 

"Wouldnt be the first targaryen to do so." Tommen teased. 

"We choose our own path. Our values and our actions, they define who we are. You get to decide, no one else." Alicent declared. "You are going to be a great queen."

"Is this a bad time to announce that I have decided to wed Aemond?" Draeya remarked as they waited at the doors for Davina. Davina smiled down at them. "And Haenry."

"What?" Aemond countered.

"I will be like Aegon the conqueror." Draeya remarked. "Take two husbands. I can't decide and I love you both. Mama said I could I love you both... so... you are okay with that right?" Davina chuckled as Alicent leaned into her.

"I'm okay with that." Davina agreed.

"Great, now lets go make you queen!" Draeya declared. Alicent led them down the pathway and up onto the stage. 

"Can you do it Tom? Crown me?" Davina whispered. 

"It would be my honor." Tommen agreed as he hugged her. "I'm proud of you Dav. To all the strong women that came before you and will come after you... they are proud too. Your mum would be proud. And to have such a good role model for future women, girls and boys everywhere. No one will be able to compete with Davina Strongaryen!" 

"Love you Tom, thank you for always being my family."

"People of King's Landing... today is the saddest of days." Otto announced. ''Our beloved king... Viserys the Peaceful... is dead." There was a murmuring of sad woes. ''But it is also the most joyous of days... for as his spirit left us he declared that his sister Davina was his rightful heir. At the petition he deemed it clear as day." Otto declared and an applause broke out for their new Queen, davina could hear them as she waited outside.

"Guards!" the commander shouted. ''Out of the way! Move!'' They were getting into position for their new queen to march down the aisle. They marched down the people parted and the rose their blade high for Davina to pass under.

"Halt! Turn!'' The horns blared out. ''Present... arms!''

"It is your great good fortune and privilege to be here to witness this: a new day for our city... a new day for our realm. A new Queen... to lead us." Otto declared as Davina strut through. As she passed the swords fell after her. Each step closer to something she never wanted. Something Daemon always wanted. Something she was sure now, as she had people around her that loved her, that she loved that she could do this. 

Daeron thought the Targaryen name had never broken more traditions. His father named a woman his heir. Named mama Dav his new rightful heir when he had sons that olden traditions would have preferred. It was strange and wonderful. Davina smiled back at her children and Alicent as she took her place on stage. Haven waved back at her from Haenrys arms. 

''May the Warrior give her courage. May the Smith lend strength to her sword and shield. May the Father defend her in her need." Septon Eustace began. ''May the Crone lift her shining lamp and light her way to wisdom." Tommen stepped forward the crown in hand

"The crown of the Conqueror Visenya Targaryen, this crown has been untouched for generations waiting for a queen worthy of the honor." TOmmen declared and Davina smiled as she waited. This was a special crown. She had never wanted anything else more once she saw it and knew it was a possibility of being hers. ''Let the Seven bear witness: Davina Targaryen is the true heir to the Iron Throne." Tommen announced proudly putting the crown on Davina's head.

Davina turned her to family as they hooted out. She couldnt hide her smile as she beamed back at them. Her hand went to touch the crown, It felt right, like it was meant to be hers. 

''All hail her Grace, Davina, first of her name. Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm." Tommen declared and the bells tolled and the people cheered joyously. 

"Davina, our queen!" they declared, the crowd applauded, cheered as Davina turned to them.

''Davina the Queen!'' 

''Long live Mama!!''

"Long live Davina!"

"Long live Davi!" Alicent declared clapping and Davina smiled back at her but the happiness weaned as a dragon came breaking through, the crowd screamed as Meleys roared, footsteps thudding and thundering as their screaming echoed trying to get out but Meleys kept going. They ran for the doors but they were under different orders and closed them, trapping everyone inside.

"Open the doors!" Davina shouted. ''Open the doors!''

"Get your siblings." Davina demanded of Haenry and Draeya. Alicent pulled the youngers ones closer, Aegon, Criston and Tommen sheathed their swords. 

"New rule, dresses need pockets." Davina demanded. 

"Mama!" Draeya declared throwing her a blade. 

"My girl." Davina agreed proudly as she shifted the hilt of the dagger in her hand.  "This is what you chose? This is your legacy?" Davina shouted up at her. "Trying to burn my family!"

"You were always a bitch Davina." Rhaenys told her.

"And you are not?" Davina countered. "Look where you are! Look at all the innocent people begging to be free!" Davina demanded. Davina was fire proof but she didn't know the same for her children, her family. She knew ALicent wasnt and she wasnt going to lose her or any of them to fire. "What kind of queen would you have made if you so easily are ready to kill the innocent!" Davina sneered. "You want at me? Get off the dragon, my fury is greater." Davina demanded "Get off the dragon, Rhaenys. Lets do this like real women!"
