Rich Man / Tyland Lannister / Aislynn Hightower

21. Gypsy Scum

Eyes open / Ned Stark / Oberyn Martell out now!
&
Shameless / Sandor Clegane out now!

As they stepped out of the carriage they crowd cheered for their prince.

'Hail, hail Aegon, the Conqueror-Babe, Second of His Name! Here's to His Grace on his second name day!' the crowd continued to cheer as Aegon was lifted up. Inside the celebration Rhaenyra felt just as out of place as she walked the crowd.

"I warn you, we are leaving early from the second party." AIslynn remarked. 

"I might join you." Alicent agreed. 

"Toby, dont pull that!" Aislynn demanded. "Tobias!" aislynn ran off as Tobias pulled the table cloth trying to pull everything to the floor. Titus put a hand to his mouth laughing out. 

"Toby you in trouble!" Titus declared. 

"Mama!" Tobias shouted as she lifted him up. 

"You are still little enough to spank." She warned. "You listen to me mister," Tobias shook his head laughing out. "Tyland," Aislynn passed off their son. 

"What do I do with this?" Tyland mused holding him upside down. 

"ME NEXT!" Titus shouted jumping up and down. Aegon pulled away from the people, the strangers doting over him and did a combination crawl run to Aislynn. He reached up for her. 

'Lady Johanna was reported to have been abducted when one of Lord Swann's ships sailed through the Stepstones.' Ceira Lannister remarked.

'What will happen to Lady Johanna?' Alicent questioned.

'She's to be sold to a pillow house in the Free Cities if you believe the rumors.' Ciera told her. 

'I fear the gods did not make me for hunting. Might I sit with you, my ladies?' Larys had a brace on this leg and a cane in hand as he approached the group of women chattering.

'But of course. Please join us. Larys Strong, the youngest son of our Master of Law, Lord Lyonel.' Alicent remarked. They didnt care for larys though, they kept talking as if he wasnt there. 

"I should say hello to my mother." Tyland remarked. 

"You should." Aislynn agreed slowly. "You can tell her I'm not here. I'm a doppelgänger if she asks." 

"Got it." Tyland agreed. "You want to see grandma?" Tobias shook his head. 

"Wicked witch," Titus corrected. 

"You told him to say that?" Tyland declared trying to hold back his own laughter. Aislynn was in a fit of laughter as she doubled over, hands on knees. 

"All the cookies for you!" Aislynn declared. 

'My Lord husband says that no King has even been able to tame the Stepstones for long. It's an inhospitable place suited only for savages.'

'Perhaps the Princess... can give us some insight.' Ceira remarked as they looked to Rhaenyra in the doorway.

'Oh, I'm not sure how I could. I've never been to the Stepstones.' Rhaenyra reminded them. 

'Your dear uncle is the great mind behind this war. Is he not?' Ceira questioned.

'I wouldn't know. I've not spoken to Daemon in years.' Rhaenyra told her bitterly.

'Since you supplanted him as heir.' Ceria corrected

'Daemon made his choices, Lady Ceira. The Princess was more suited to the role.' Alicent said kindly trying to win back favor with her friend.
