Drama Queen // Otto Hightower // Thea Queen

49. Narcissis

"I dont understand." Roy remarked and Thea groaned out. 

"No. Do you wanna hear it in Dorthraki? No." Thea demanded. 

"Caffeine will make you feel better. And, if we're lucky, they may have some pastry options to add some sugar to the bitterness you're spewing." Otto pondered and Thea snapped her head around to face him. Roy made his escape from wedding drama. 

"I'm so tired Otto. I hate wedding planning. Where is Mia's over bearing mother do to all this and ruin her life?" Thea pondered. 

"She likes you better." Otto suggested passing her a pastry, she took a large bite little flakes dropped to the table as she took it. 

"I mean I get it i'm great but I hate doing things like this, remember the last party we had, it was their little meet and greet and I threw a drink at someone." 

"That was a good night." Otto agreed.

''Be good to your mother, lads. I'll visit when I can. But that may be some time.'' Harwin remarked looking down at Jace and Luke. ''Jace. I will return... I promise.'' Harwin looked between them, jace was too sad to speak. ''I will be a stranger when we meet again.'' Harwin realized softly as Harwin hugged Jace goodbye.

''Princess.'' Harwin whispered as he headed out

''We will exchange letters by raven. Won't that be fun?'' Rhaenyra questioned as they watched Harwin leave.

''Is Harwin Strong my father? Am I a bastard?' Jace questioned looking up at her.

''You are a Targaryen. That's all that matters.'' Rhaenyra corrected.

'If you are not the most interesting person you know, then you're doing it wrong." Thea declared and Otto arched a brow, staring back at Thea. 

"Some would call that narcissism." Mia, Roy's betrothed told her Oliver chuckled looking to Thea. 

"Probably why our mother was a narcissist." Thea agreed. "Should we have that sex talk now while we are at it or do you two know what you are doing?" Clayton looked between them his lips clamped shut trying to hold back a laugh. 

"We got it mother." Roy assured. 

"Okay," Thea drawled out. "Thats what I'm here for."

''A word?''

''I take it he's gone.''

''We're finished here. We're leaving.'' Rhaenyra demanded

''What of your offer? Jace and Helaena?'' Laenor countered

''I have been undermined... and made a spectacle. They whisper about me in the corridors. Well, I leave them to it.'' Rhaenyra hissed

''To Dragonstone then?'' Laenor offered

''We should've left years ago.'' Rhaenyra admitted

''What of your position?'' Laenor countered

''You've always said if you were absent from court, she would pour her honey in your father's ear."

"The wise sailor flees the storm as it gathers.'' Rhaenyra offered she glanced back at Qarl. ''Laenor... bring him. We'll need every sword we can muster.''

''Push, my Lady.'' Laena screamed and screeched as she tried to deliver Daemon another child but it would not come.

''Push! Push!'' She continued screaming and wailing to no avail. 'Push! You must push! Push!''

''It needs to come now!'' the surgeon told her as she wailed out in pain.

''Push! Push!'' they all begged her

''You must push now, my Lady!'' but she was tired and knew it was no use.

''I've reached the limit of my art. The child 'will not come.'' The surgeon told Daemon ''I am very sorry, my Prince. We could lay open the womb... try to remove the infant by way of the blade. But I cannot say for a surety whether it lives.''

''Would the mother survive it?'' Daemon questioned calmly.

''No.''

Laena pulled herself up with a grunt dragging herself outside.

''Vhagar, dracarys. Agh!'' she whimpered out. Vhagar stared down at her.'' Dracarys! Dracarys!'' she begged but he just stared at her. she wanted to die a dragon riders death, by fire. ''Dracarys. Dracarys!'' she wailed as she dragged herself to him.

''Dracarys.'' Vhagar wailed out blasting her away. Daemon watched his fire burn away before him.

''Laena!''
