This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things / House of the Dragon /Lady Justice

1. Justice

'' His Dream. The Song of Ice... and Fi... It is true. What he saw in the North. The Prince That Was Promised.'' Viserys said in a daze.

''I don't understand, Viserys.'' Alicent countered confused.

''The Prince.' Viserys told her.

''Prince Aegon?''

''To unite the realm against the cold... and the dark. It is you. You are the one. You must do this.'' Viserys told her softly ''You must do this.''

'' Shh, shh.'' Alicent cooed as Viserys let out a deep breath and Alicent blew out the candles.  ''I understand, my King.''

''No more. No more.'' His breathing became short as Alicent headed out.

"Oh Viserys..." That wasnt Alicent's voice, he strained to see. "You messed it all up hadnt you?"

"I..." He wheezed.

"You. Viserys Targaryen... oh honey."

"Who..."

"I'm Katherine Justice. Everyone just calls me justice, though." She answered softly as she sat on his bedside. "Now, tell me would you have done things differently?"

"What?" Viserys chest felt tight.

"Would you have done things differently?" Justice repeated.

"Yes." He agreed.

"What?" Justice pondered.

"Everything."

Justice nodded looking him over.

''My love.'' Viserys said softly his breaths growing shallow and then it stopped. Justice tsked, picking at her cuticle.

"This is what happens when I try to save the world." Justice remarked nonchalantly. "I guess I have to go back a bit... remember me would you dearie?" She chuckled. Talking to the dead really wasnt the strangest part of her day.

"Didily doo!" Justice sung out and breathed in the fresh air. She smiled around at the knights getting ready for the tourney. "Did I get the right year this time?" Justice pondered looking around, certainly looked different, better, Viserys looked more alive.

"Excuse me-"

"This is the king, keep your distance." Harrold corrected.

"I could poof you out of existence but I'm doing my one good deed of the century!" Justice spat back. "And killing you would really be counter productive." She added. Harrold glanced back at her as he ushered the king forward but Justice was gone as if she was never there. "Honestly," She muttered taking a seat. At least she could enjoy the show before she got a moment alone with Viserys to try and set him right.

'Be welcome! I know many of you have traveled long leagues to be at these games. But I promise, you will not be disappointed. When I look at the fine knights in these lists, I see a group without equal in our histories. And this great day has been made more auspicious by the news... that I am happy to share Queen Aemma has begun her labors!' Viserys declared and the stadium erupted in cheers and applause. 'May the luck of the Seven shine upon all combatants!' They continued to cheer, the horses neighing, galloping into position.

Justice looked around bored, this wasnt real fighting, she yawned out until she saw Viserys get up and then she was gone.

'What's happening?' Aemma questioned nervously as she panted for breath.

'The infant is in breech, Your Grace.'

'All attempts to turn the babe have failed.' They told her solemnly so her screams continued she was going to lose another child.

'Do something for her!' Viserys demanded when Mellos told him of Aemma's condition.

'We've given her as much milk of the poppy as we can without risking the child. Your Queen is a strong woman. She's fighting with all her might, but it may not be enough.'  Viserys left the joust quickly he couldn't lose another chance at a son.

'No!' Aemma screamed out still trying to get the child from her womb.

'Aemma. Aemma... I'm here. I'm here.' Viserys cooed coming to her side.

'Help me, please...' Aemma whispered through pained breaths.

'I'm here. It's all right. It's all right.' Viserys coed but men could never understand the pain of labor.

'I don't wanna do this.' Aemma murmured

'You're going to be all right. You're going to be all right.'

"Wrong."
