Cruel Summer // Maegor the Cruel

24. Fortress

Davina was pregnant again. Was it a coincidence that Maegor made his appearance and declarations of love before finally leaving that Davina fucked her husband and tried to get Maegor from her mind and was now pregnant... Davina was going with coincidence. 

The red keep was under development, they were trying to the make the capital a fortress, dragonstone was already a fortress because Visenya made it so. She trained her guards and after Davina's threats to Aenys he knew the kings guard needed to step up their game. 

Aenys had married off his children to each other, pissed off the faith, again, Davina was the good child, who would have thought it? And now the faith decided it was time, they gathered their supporters and were going to bring down house Targaryen once and for all. 

Aenys quivered and shook at the thought of an attack. He was doing everything wrong. He was trying to please everyone at first and now he was just trying to survive and he couldnt do it. He was terrified. 

Word of the Faith coming after the king had spread and it made Davina smirk. 

"Bring down the crown, its about damn time." Davina coed as Elijah smiled up at her. 

"Do you hate him so much?" Erryk pondered as he helped Alaric with his shoes. 

"He took the role as king and the only reason he is making the red keep, building this wall, it would be beautiful if I did it."

"Of course." Erryk agreed. 

"But he only did it because I threatened him." Davina reminded him. 

"So you are to thank, you know you would be a good queen Davina." Erryk remarked and she smiled, leaning into him. 

"I'm glad you think so, to bad that will never  happen." 

"Never say never my love." Erryk corrected. 

But King Aenys the anus proved to be an utter weakling in the face of the revolt and was completely overwhelmed. 

As the Faith Militant attacked lords that still supported him across the Seven Kingdoms, one particularly zealous force of the order even managed to scale the walls of the Red Keep, and would have killed Aenys and his family if not for the intervention of the Kingsguard. 

But it was clear that the capital was not safe anymore. 

Alaric ran after Missy and Sheldon, they woofed and yipped happily. Alaric laughed out and Elijah crawled after them, crooning for them to slow down, to wait for him. Davina had to push Maegor from his mind which was easier as the time passed until Aenys appeared at dragonstone. 

"He's hiding from the faith." Davina told Erryk, her hands flying about. "He is hiding from the faith and left the capital vulnerable. Gods if father would have seen this, seen that he was useless, a fucking muppet-"

"Muppet!" Alaric repeated. 

"Damn right, baby." Davina agreed. Erryk chuckled shaking his head. "Gods, he let damn priests take him down."

"What would you have done?" 

"Dracarys them." Davina answered without hesitation. 

"Fury does get bored easily." Erryk agreed. 

"Exactly." Davina agreed. 

"He's going to die isnt he? He's going to worry himself to death about this." Erryk realized. 

"Yeah, I think so... I know my mum and her sister werent the closest but she loved her little sister, wished my father didnt treat her like shit in comparison but... hell thats just how it goes." Davina pondered. 

"What goes?"

"Men rule the world and women just deal with it. My mum was there she helped win wars, she was a hero but no, all anyone ever talks about it my father. He wouldnt have been Aegon the conqueror without my mum." Davina declared. "He would have been a failure without his sisters but no, does my mum get a cool Visenya the VIcious, Visenya the brilliant, Visenya the conqueror? No, but my father does and they wanted to toss my mum aside but look at us now. Aenys is going to die and Maegor will be..."

"King." Erryk agreed. 

"Mother will want to fetch him. Bring him back before Aenys the anus little shit tries to claim it and fucks up this place even more." Davina realized. "Maegor will do better than Aenys but I'm still hoping for my mum to be queen." 

"You are a good daughter, a great wife." Erryk declared. 

"You are the best husband, I wish we could have ruled, we would have done a great job, made this place perfect, a real home for everyone, not just a mans world... we could have done something amazing." Davina whispered. 

"I still think you can." Erryk assured when Visenya knocked on their door peering in. 

"Hey honey, I have a request." Visenya remarked and here is came, Davina thought as she moved to the bassinet, sticking Elijah inside and then to her mother. 

"Mum, is Aenys dead yet?"

"Not yet," Visenya answered. "Now Davina I need you to fetch your brother." Visenya remarked as Aenys looked on deaths door. "The realms need a new king."

"The realms need a queen." Davina countered.
