three dragons- hotd

We Light the Way

The sea splashes against our ship, "Oh gods Rhaenyra." I say as I rock Aemon to keep his tears away. We ride on the boat too Drfitmark to meet Rhaenyra's cousin who she may wed. Aemon bursts into tears, why did I insist on bringing him? Well I very much didn't like the other idea of leaving him in king's landing. "Naya look we're almost there." She says grabbing my arm to steady me. My father was denounced from being hand of the king, I am relived.

I give her a look and she smiles kissing Aemon on the forehead as we go to enter the castle. "Thank you for coming Naya. I was very much in need for a friend here." She says and I give her a quiet smile. "I'll always be at your side Nyra." I say softy and she gives me a look of kind eyes. Laenor walks with the king and Laena walks us away from the throne room. "Come let us discuss what will be had for breakfast." Laena says giving us a smile. "Might I offer a nurse maid to watch the child?" Laena asks and I shake my head.

Nyra parts to speak with Laenor and I am left with Laena. "A Targaryen so honorable." Laena says looking at Aemon, I smile. "Such a shame about Lady Royce." Laena says and I give her a look, "What's happened?" I ask as I am greatly confused, "She passed, fell from her horse, it paralyzed her." She says and I bit my lip, Daemon he killed her I know it. A smile comes to my face and I cover it by looking at my son. "A shame." I say and she gives me a soft graze on my hand. "Was it hard knowing your husband was already wed?" She asks and I laugh slightly. "My husband is a man he may do what he wishes, I have no say." I mutter and she giggles. "Don't be silly Princess, us women are far more powerful than men would wish." She says with kind eyes.

Quickly we leave Drfitmark and I am pleased to be headed back to kings landing and off the sea. When we return it is said that the king has fallen ill, sea sick I presume. I hope.

The royal wedding celebrations have begun and Rhaenyra is to wed Laenor. Everyone has come in celebration. I sit beside Nyra as everyone welcomes and congratulates her, Lord Jason makes a sexist remark and I roll my eyes. I ignore everyones chatter focusing myself on Aemon against everyones wishes I have not let them separate me from my son. I think I'm a bit too attached, but Nyra makes sure I can do as I please.

The Velaryon's are announced and walk in we stand and they bow Nyra leaves to see Laenor and he kisses her hand. I move to a seat beside the new kings hand and sigh at Daemon's absence. Something isn't right, Alicent is also missing. Everyone claps happily and we sit back down. My heart skips a beat when I see Daemon walk in Viserys still stands and everyone gasps.

"Have you come to finally meet your son?" The King asks him and Daemon looks at me and then our child. "Yes." He says and they maids pull up a chair beside me. I glare at Daemon as everyone looks at him in silence. The king announces and speaks telling everyone too feast for the union. He stops speaking and everyone looks up, my sister dressed in green. A call for war. Everyone stands and I look at my sister in shock. What is she doing. "Congratulations stepdaughter. What a blessing this is for you." She growls at Nyra kissing the kings cheek and standing beside him.

Nyra and I make eye contact and her face drops, "Please be seated." He tells everyone and goes on to precede with his speech. "Seven days off tournament and feasting and at the end a royal wedding." Viserys announces and everyone applauds. Nyra and Laenor go to dance and everyone watches I watch as Daemon looks at her with lust.

"My love." He whispers to me looking at our son, "Aemon short of Daemon, that's your son's name. If you cared to ask." I tell him with a whisper amongst the applause. "I am sorry for not being there." He says and he rubs Aemon's cheek leaning over to kiss mine. Alicent gets up angrily and I sigh softly. "We have much to speak of." I whisper to Daemon and he caresses my face moving a hair back into my large bun.

Everyone goes out to dance I see Alicent speaking with our Uncle and Aunt. I sigh as Ser Garold speaks angrily to Daemon, "What exactly are you accusing my husband of?" I ask the man as he speaks fiercely with rage. "I am cousin to your late lady wife. But as we see you are already wed to another." He says with a hiss and Daemon sighs. "Yes. Terrible thing. I'm positively bereft. Such a terrible accident." Daemon says as he rubs circles on my hand. "You know better than anyone, it was no accident. I am making an accusation." Ser Gerold says and I glare at him.

"The day the poor lady passed my husband was with me in our chambers. So I would keep our tongue and stop battering lies. I understand grief is hard to deal with, I lost mother so I can sympathize. But Ser Gerold I would be very carful what you say. To accuse the prince, the king's brother of such a crime is tyranny." I hiss and the man growls angrily. "You know in king's landing, men are made to answer for their slanders. Even old bronze cunts like you. The truth is I'm glad you've come. I wish to speak to you about my inheritance." Daemon says finding the situation amusing.

"What inheritance?" Ser Gerold growls, "Lady Rhea and I had no heirs. As her husband, whatever she was due now passes to me. She stood to inherit all of Runestone. Did she not? After my niece's wedding, I plan to fly to the Eyrie and petition Lady Jeyne myself. Perhaps I'll see you there, Ser Garold." Daemon says and I chuckle at the mans face as he storms off. Daemon looks at me kissing my cheek, "My savior." He whispers kissing my lips softly and then standing up.

I watch as he goes to dance with Laena I sigh gulping slightly and I feel I might vomit. Aemon sucks on my finger as everyone else dances and feasts. I watch as my husband goes on to flirt with more women and I chug glasses of wine. Everything is so tense I can cut it with a knife. My face drops as I watch Daemon and Rhaenyra together. My heart drops when I see him grab her face to kiss her. But then a scream echos.

Everyone yells and I stand Alicent grabs me pulling me behind her as I watch something happen. I don't know what. But I hear the screams and yells. My sister holds me back as she watches in fear covering my eyes. Then everything falls quiet and I see Rhaenyra, I hear Laenor scream. Criston killed Joffery.

I look at Nyra kindly as they wed early due to the tragedy, she is now married. She is my best friend but she loves my husband and he loves her. I don't think a marriage could keep that from taking place. "My sweet Nyra." I say softy after they are united, and the king collapses. Her reign may come faster then we believed it would. I only hope this game does not destroy the kingdom and that everything will end well. I hope this but we cannot always have what we hope for.
