CHAPTER 4

VISERYS TARGARYEN

Viserys watched as his brother looked over his wife. Aemma had a smile on his face as she stared at him. Grandmaester Mellos watched from the side. His brother was still covered in his riding leathers. He had asked to be taken to Aemma first, and Viserys could only nod.

The years away had changed him. He was no longer the dismissive, agitated boy Viserys thought him to be. He had grown up to become a seemingly confident and if the bewilderment on Mellos' face was any indication, a highly skilled man.

Viserys saw him reach into his pouch and take out something he had never seen. Aenys put two tubes to his ears and placed one end on Aemma while closing his eyes, seemingly focused on what he was hearing, as he moved the end to various places on Aemma's body.

After a while, he took it out of the ear and smiled at Aemma as he began to move towards him.

"Let's take this outside," Aenys spoke to him in a hushed tone. Viserys' heart dropped as he heard those words. He nodded and went up to kiss Aemma as she hissed in pain from another contraction.

"Is everything okay, Viserys?" she asked him, and Viserys just smiled in assurance.

"Of course, everything is fine," he reassured her. She nodded, and Viserys walked out of the room along with Melos to find Aenys pacing just outside.

"So, what is it?" Viserys asked his brother. Aenys stopped pacing and looked up towards him and Mellos. His face contorted with fury.

"What have you people been doing? Did you guys even consider that she was fit for birth or not!" he hissed at them both. And Viserys stilled as he heard those words.

Mellos answered from his side.

"My Prince, we have taken every precaution and paid attention to every detail in caring for the Queen," but Aenys cut him off.

"No, you have not! For god's sake, even an untrained acolyte could tell that she is severely anemic, not to say anything of the general weakness. Have you listened to her heart? It is almost bursting," and Viserys recognized that tone quite well. It was the same tone their father used when he lost his temper, rare as that might have been.

And while Viserys could not understand what he was saying, he knew the news was not good. He frowned at the Grandmaester as he asked Aenys.

"Tell me what you think in simpler terms. Will she be fine? Will my son be fine?" Viserys asked him. And Aenys did not reply immediately. And when he did, Viserys felt his world shatter around him.

"Things are quite complicated. The babe's position seems to be a bit abnormal, and while I can not be sure, there is a high chance that there may be some complications with the umbilical cord," and even if Visery did not understand it completely, he knew that things were quite dire. Aenys seemed to consider his words for a moment before continuing.

"Moreover, if this continues as is, there is a high chance that neither Aemma nor the babe will make it," and now Viserys was shocked once more. He could feel his eyes burning as he felt helpless at the situation. It was as if his whole world had come crashing down.

"Your grace, I have been doing this for decades. And while the prince may be more famous, I have cared for the queen for a long time. And I believe that she is progressing normally," Mellos' words gave Viserys some hope. He looked at Aenys once more, who just shook his head.

"You called for me because you thought that I could help you. I flew across half the world just to make it in time, so you can either trust me or listen to Grandmaester Mellos," while Viserys wanted to believe in the good news, he knew he could not.
