"It's getting late Rhaegar, Aerea smiled softly as she entered her cousins apartments. She turned to Helaena" Thank you Helaena, I could have had one of the lady's look after him"
"He is my only nephew and the twins love spending time with Rhaegar" Helaena admits as Rhaegar nods his head.
"Rhaegar come" Aerea spoke again as Rhaegar gave Helaena a hug then rushed over to Aerea.
"Where is father" Rhaegar asks as Aerea takes hold of his hand.
"Outside waiting for us"
Rhaegar nodded his head as Aerea walked out Helaenas apartments still holding her sons hand.
Rhaegar immediately let his mother's hand go as he went over to Aegon.
Aerea sent Aegon a small smile as she watched Aegon ruffle There sons hair.
"Okay enough messing around Rhaegar needs to go to sleep and we need to get up early for the trial" Aerea states as Rhaegar begins walking ahead in the direction of his chambers. Aerea and Aegon both following behind.
"Helaena loves him like her own" Aerea spoke up "She was born to be a mother"
"As you were Aerea" Aegon replies as they follow Rhaegar.
"I've been thinking lately"
"About what my love"
Aerea goes to say but stops herself as she sees Rhaegar stop Infront of a man.
Aegon stopped as he met the man's stare, it was his uncle who his son had stopped to talk to.
"Aerea" Aegon muttered but it was to late as his wife made her way over to Rhaegar and her father.
She stopped behind Rhaegar as she heard him mutter something.
"Mother says she would kill you if she had the chance" Rhaegar rambled as Daemon finally noticed his daughter had walked over "And I'd let her"
Aegon brust out laughing as Aerea kept a straight face, but didn't stay put as she walked in front of her son.
"Aegon take our son to his chambers I shall catch up later" Aerea demanded and not once did Aegon or her son protest.
Both Daemon and Aerea waited until the hallway was empty "Daughter is what my grandson says true?"
"Of course it is, give me a good reason why I shouldn't kill you Daemon" Aerea asked as Daemon sighed.
"Because I am your father, I took you in"
"Because you killed my mother" Aerea snapped "There are plenty of rocks around here, You may have not had the guts to admit you killed my mother. But I'd have the guts to admit I was the one who took the Rogue prince's life"
Once again Daemon was reminded of the bronze bitch through his eldest daughter, he regretted ever consummating that foul marriage with the bronze bitch.
But then again It wasn't Rhea Royce Aerea was acting like, it was him who she was acting like.
"My grandson looks well even though he has Hightower blood" Daemon changed the subject as Aerea took a step back "But I am glad it was only one you had with that cunt"
"You should not be roaming around the castle when its getting late Prince Daemon, if the queen found you lurking she would have no other choice but get rid of you" The Royce threatened "And I am sure You will receive more grandchildren through me sooner or later"
Daemon nodded his head slightly as Aerea walked past her father "Goodnight Prince Daemon"
************************************
Aerea was once again up early as she prepared herself for the trial. She had slept in her private chambers not wanting to go back to Aegon and have him ask her what happened or even try to start on her father.
She knew Aegon was rather protective of her and their son, she couldn't judge him for that. He wanted the best for them as she wanted the best for Rhaegar and him.
She sighed as she heard a knock on the doors thinking it was Aegon she told them to come in. But her face dropped as she saw her fathers wife.
"Princess Rhaenyra" Aerea spoke as Rhaenyra walked in "Do you want a seat, I know that in your state"
"I am in a fine State Aerea, but Thank you for offering" Rhaenyra smiled softly as she held her stomach "I just wished to speak to you, I heard you have yet to speak with Baela and Rhaena"
"I've been busy" Aerea admits "But I shall speak with them before they leave, My attention has been on my son and other things"
"Other things?"
"Just some private matters that I must discuss with Aegon"
"Aerea I do not want you to be at odds with me for something you father did years ago"
"That's not the reason, the reason is for disrespecting my late stepmother at her funeral" Aerea snapped remaining Rhaenyra what she and Daemon at done "What do you really want Rhaenyra"
"House Royces support on Lukes claim"
"I cannot choice what side I am on, I am wed to Aegon"
"And yet he has never once made a decision on what happens with runestone. Aerea I just ask you to support my son, not your father or me but Luke"
"I shall see you at the trial Rhaenyra and you will have my answer then"
