Chapter 19

VISERYS TARGARYEN

"HAHAHA," Viserys's heart dropped as he heard Aenys break down into a laugh. A broken haunting laugh.

"HAAAHAHAHAHA!"

The people around him were taken aback as well, and he gulped as he looked at the body of the dead Vhagar in front of him, its size nearly as massive as Belarion, and he could scarcely believe that Aenys had slain it.

Viserys would admit that when Vhagar had attacked them, they had all run away to seek shelter forgetting about Aenys, the Kingsguard had rushed to move the Royal family to shelter, and the people had followed suit, everyone in fear of the largest dragon alive.

The whole area was quiet, and only the sound of water splatter and Aenys's laughter filled the muddying shore. Viserys looked up as Aenys's laughter tapered off.

"Hahaha," Aenys stifled his laugh as the rain continued to fall, and Viserys recoiled as Aenys looked straight at him.

"I should have expected this from you, you selfish bastards. You abandoned me. You all abandoned me!" his brother began as he struggled to stifle his laugh. And Viserys stilled at those words, as the people around him began to look around nervously.

"Gods, I should have expected that," said Aenys in a broken tone, his face contorted in rage and anguish. Viserys gulped as he tried to speak up.

"BROT...." But Aenys cut him off.

"DON'T CALL ME YOUR BROTHER! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO CALL ME THAT! NOT AFTER ALL THIS!" thundered Aenys, his face flushed as he shouted at him. The Grey Ghost seemed to read its rider's emotions and snarled as it glared at them all, making him step back as the Kingsguard approached him.

"It was impossible to help you, and you were the one who was being stubborn when you didn't just abandon your dragon. So, don't blame us for your foolishness Aenys," argued Daemon as he stepped forward, holding an uncaring and annoyed look.

Aenys's eyes narrowed at Daemon.

"Foolishness! Trying to outrun Vhagar in the state that I was in?" said Aenys, replying to Daemon before he began shaking his head in a dismissive manner as he continued.

"But what am I to expect of you, Daemon," said Aenys with a scoff as he pointed at a cave to the side.

"There in that cave lies Syrax, and in the one after that roosts Ceraxes," and Viserys's head snapped towards Daemon at that. There was no rejection of the claim from Daemon, and instead of any remorse, Daemon seemed to be scathing. He saw the rest of the crowd focus on Daemon at Aenys's words as well.

And Viserys's eyes widened in realization.

Daemon had lied! but why?

"After all, you did wish me death before the duel," and there were gasps at that. Viserys saw Daemon snarl at the accusation, yet he didn't deny them. People murmured at this statement and before Daemon could say anything, he shriveled up when Aenys's eyes narrowed onto him.

"And you, Viserys!" finally, Aenys snarled at him, and Viserys gulped as he saw Aenys glared at him with those hate-filled eyes.

"YOU! Do you have any idea what I went through just to make it in time to save your life? Gods! I nearly killed myself for you and your family, Viserys," said Aenys in a condescending tone, but he wasn't done yet.

"You displace my position as heir and name Rhaenyra as your heir, and I let that go, for I had no ambition for the crown. For I considered you my brother, yet this is how you repay me by abandoning me." And his voice grew louder and louder with every word.
