Tyrion sits with the king in the king's own rooms when there's a knock on the door.
"Yes!" King Rhaegar says and the door opens and one of the king's servants walks in.
"Your grace, lord hand, the prisoner, lord Daeron, the king of the narrow sea has been brought to the throne room, he is there with a couple of your grace's and a couple of the lord hand's own guards", the manservant says.
"Send for the queen, me and the lord hand will wait for her grace in the throne room, when the queen has arrived, the interrogation of the prisoner, the so called king of the narrow sea, will begin", king Rhaegar says, getting up from the table with a nod to Tyrion.
One of the king's servants goes to find the queen, finds her in the royal apartments.
"Your grace, the king is asking to see you", the servant says. "His grace and the lord hand are in the throne room waiting for you."
"I'll go there at once", queen Brianna says, getting up from the table and goes to the throne room to her royal cousin husband and her uncle.
Queen Brianna goes to the throne room where her husband and uncle waits for her.
"You asked for me, husband", queen Brianna says, sitting down on the queen's throne next to the Iron Throne where king Rhaegar sits with Tyrion on the other side.
"Yes, I wanted you to join me when I and our royal hand is interrogating the king of the narrow sea", king Rhaegar says.
"What does the king of narrow sea have to say for himself?" queen Brianna asks.
"He hasn't said much, my queen", Varys, standing a few feet away from the iron throne, says.
"Does he understand the charges brought against him?" queen Brianna asks.
"He does, my queen", Varys says.
"Lord Daeron Targaryen, you've been brought before your king and queen to answer for your crimes, the crime of assault against two small boy children, attempted adultery and attempted assault on your queen, how do you answer these charges?" king Rhaegar asks.
"I didn't know they were so young", lord Daeron says, eyes downcast, not daring to meet the young dragon king's steely gaze.
"They were of an age with mine and the royal couple's Lannister nephews", Tyrion says bitingly after a little nod from his king that the lord hand has permission to speak. "For the sake of protocol, my brother's sons are 12 and 9."
"The two boys assaulted and abused by lord Daeron Targaryen, the king of the narrow sea, are, for sake of protocol, of an age with the hand's brother, lord Jaime Lannister's sons", Littlefinger, sitting next to grand maester Pycelle and the other jurors, says.
"Do you know of the two young boys abused and assaulted by lord Daeron, lord Littlefinger?" Queen Brianna asks.
"Yes, my queen, the two boys are my wards and cared for by the mistress of one of the pillow houses on the street of silk, owned by myself", Littlefinger says.
"You sold your wards as sex slaves to the king of the narrow sea?" Tyrion asks with a raised eyebrow. "For what reason? And for what price?"
"He promised me a night with the queen", Littlefinger says.
King Rhaegar stares down Littlefinger with the same fiery gaze as his father, the former king Aerys Targaryen, was known and feared for.
"He promised you a night with the queen? MY WIFE! His nephew's WIFE!" Rhaegar roars, clutching the armrests of the Iron Throne to still himself from getting up off the throne to kill Littlefinger with his own hands.
"You have some nerve...selling two small children to the king of the narrow sea, for the promise of a night with the queen, a promise that he is in no position to make", Tyrion says.
"Get that snake out of my sight", king Rhaegar says. "Lock him up in the coldest, darkest, smallest cell of the castle dungeons."
