Their victory and bonding over tormenting their new king was short lived. Sure Maegor had the sword and the dragon but Aenys still held the crown. Davina still thought Visenya should be queen, she would do better than any man ever. 

Maegor had gone out with his buddies and came back with an admirer. How obnoxious Davina thought bitterly. Alys Harroway. Alys whore Harroway, that was what the men called her because she flung herself at everyone, and right now she had her sights set on Maegor. 

"What are you doing?" Davina questioned looking at Erryk sitting among the barrels of hay, the horses and hounds moving among him as though he was just another animal. He sat up straight rushing to her.

"I was waiting for you." Erryk remarked. "I had hoped we would go for ride today." Erryk informed her. 

"Waiting for me in the stables... how long were you waiting for me?" Davina pondered and Erryk offered her an awkward you dont want to know how long I have been waiting because I'm intimidated by your brother and scared to go to the castle to get you smile. 

"That's a bit creepy, don't you think?" Davina countered as she headed on her way.

"Creepy, or..." He offered. "enduring?"

"Creepy, stalkerish." Davina added and Erryk's face pinched as he tried to keep up with her. "I'm kid Erryk." Davina assured. "It is borderline creepy to enduring to man up and grow a pair and come to the door next time you are going to get sun burnt." 

"I will keep that in mind." Erryk agreed. "You walk awfully fast for someone in heels." Erryk remarked. He knew davina was of age for a husband and while she was both terrifying and perfect, Erryk thought himself a worthy contender for her heart. 

"I was thinking supper, I know a place that supposedly-" Alys was talking, Maegor wasnt listening as Davina and Erryk got their horses out, a genuine smile on Davina's face as she laughed with Erryk. Maegor stared back at them. 

"We are going riding." Maegor corrected and Alys' face scrunched up. 

"No, my hair will get all-"

"I'm going riding, either get a horse or fuck off." maegor informed her in a tone that said he was serious and he was leaving. 

"Could I ride with you? Then later I can ride you." Alys purred. 

"Davina," Erryk laughed out and she smiled back at him, she liked that he thought she was bigger than the whole world, she wondered when this lavender haze of love would fade and Erryk would stop seeing her bossy controlling attitude as endearing and start thinking of her a bitch. 

"Davina, can I ask you question?"

"Sure but dont blame me if you dont like the answer." Davina agreed. 

"Do you think you ever want to get married, have kids, not with me but well maybe with me but I mean in general." Erryk questioned. 

"One day." Davina agreed simply and Erryk smiled, Maegor stared back at them as he fixed his saddle. 

"Davina, Alys and I were going for a ride, you should join us

"Davina, Alys and I were going for a ride, you should join us."  Maegor called back. 

"Funny, Erryk and I were going for a ride as well, we should ride together, we can make it a race." Davina agreed and Maegor loved that cocky attitude. 

"I love a challenge." Maegor agreed and Davina smirked.

"You sure? You gonna be a big baby when you lose?" Davina questioned. 

"Challenge accepted sis." Maegor declared. 

"Come on then." Davina agreed. Davina won, of course she did, she was lighter, her horse was faster and Maegor was too pent up that his mare was antsy. Davina raced ahead and smirked back at them. Erryk had to keep up, he had to, he was a fast rider too, Davina liked that challenge with him too. Erryk smiled as he inched closer but Davina clicked her heels and smiled long and wide, a laugh on her lips as her head tipped back.

Maegor tried to keep his anger from growing, he lost, he also lost Alys somewhere from when they started and about two paces after they took off. But he tried not to let it show. But he needed Davina to know that he didnt care about her and Erryk. That he was good, great, that his newest fling would make her jealous. 

Maegor trying to be sneaky was like a Davina when she saw a spider. Completely obvious and overdramatic.

It was clear as day that Maegor was trying to make Davina jealous. He found a girl that thought he was the whole damn world. Doted on him. Davina knew a girl like that would bore him senseless. But she was pretty and Maegor liked very publicly shoving his tongue down Alys throat when Davina was near.
