Kingslanding 30th day of the 12th moon

Aerys was seated in the small council room rubbing his forehead vigorously. He was awoken by the a kingsguard at the behest of Tywin Lannister to his displeasure. He was informed of his daughter's actions in the city. Truth be told he wasn't surprised, she was just like Canaerya at her age and that's what made him love her. She was like the child they had lost before Rhaegar was born. She was the only child that he ever truly loved, she made him proud when Rhaegar didn't. Which is why it always broke his heart to send her away. But for her own protection he did.

"You fucked my husband?!" Rhaella asked outraged by her jealous sister.

"If only you knew that things were not what they seem, sister. After all it was you who drugged him into coming to your bed and told father he had raped you and I helped to cover it up" Canaerya told her coldly.

"Mother is that true?" Rhaegar asked in disbelief and disgust.

But there were no words coming from Rhaella as she turned her head to avoid his glare.

The Council consisted of Tywin as the Hand of the King, Pycelle as the Grand Maester, Rhaegar as the Master of Coin, Canaerya as Master of ships due to her basically running driftmark and it's fleet in the absence of her fat head husband, Varys as the Master of Whispers, Ser Gerold Hightower as the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, Aerys himself as the king, Daema herself as Master of Laws and Baelerys as the cup bearer.

"Can I ask why we were summoned, it is the middle of the night and you have interrupted my beauty sleep, Tywin, it takes time to look this young, beautiful and most of all utterly perfect. If I could I would have you beheaded for that." Canaerya told him sarcastically, resting her head next to Daema.

"Your very beautiful" Helaena said shyly.

"As are you sweet girl, it seems your beauty is what will bring men to their knees" Canaerya said smiling causing the other women bar Lyanna and Rhaella to agree.

"I'm sorry for interrupting your well needed rest, my lady but it seems the princess has taken to pillaging and plundering about Kingslanding. This cannot go without punishment your Grace." Tywin told while glaring at Canaerya and Daema.

"Ha!" Daema said in enjoyment whilst twisting her blood stained hair.

"Is there something you would like to add princess?" Tywin asked agitated.

"You drag everyone out of their chambers for something that was unnecessary and you ask for me to be punished, that's not a very good thing us it, Lord Hand-" But Daema was cut off by an angry Tywin.

"She's an ill-mannered spiteful little girl." Tywin told his children

"How was it necessary princess, to kill, torture and maim the people of Kingslanding and then on top of that you had the audacity to string them up by their insides, and line Fleet bottom with heads on spikes." Tywin spits to an amused Daema.

"And what would you have me do? Need I remind you, Tywin. Nobel Houses are to attend the tourney of the queen's son, would you rather they accidentally wonder off to the city where they would be attacked, assaulted and left for dead. No because that would not leave a good image on the king or his family" Daema said stoically glaring at Tywin.

"She has got a point" Daemon told Tywin hatefulness engulfed in his words.

"And how would you know, prince Daemon? You do the same for your own dark purposes" Otto spat from his high horse or atleast he thought so.

"Oh I'll show you dark purposes" And with those words Alyssa stormed over and began punching the living shit out of Otto.

Aegon the conqueror, Baelon, Aemon and Maegor all ran to hold her back.

But Aerys and Canaerya paid close attention to three words that she said 'the queen's son' and gave each other a look that they would ask later. While Rhaegar tried to ignore her words.

"Your grace shall we talk about prince Viserys name day celebration?" Maester Pycelle said in an attempt to defuse the tension in the room.

"Yes, families from all over the seven are attending." Aerys told them clearing his throat.

"Not all families brother." Canaerya told them as her daughter poured her some wine.

"The North has yet to send their answer, the same with the Eryie." Canaerya continued as she sipped her wine.

"Then we send letters once again-" Tywin started but was cut off by Canaerya.

"No, we send personal envoys as a sign of respect" Canaerya told him.

"Fine my lady, I will send some personal envoys" Tywin said standing up ready to leave.

"Actually, as much as you want us think your envoys will actually go. Which I do not believe, I propose we send Prince Rhaegar to The Vale of Arryn and Princess Daema to Winterfell." Canaerya said making her true purpose as Aerys caught on causing him to nod and agree.

"I agree, with the Princess Canaerya. Prince Rhaegar will ride east to the Eryie and Princess Daema will fly North to Winterfell by first light." And with that Aerys concluded the council meeting.

Daema with Rhaegar and Baelerys were leaving when Aerys asked to see, which caused Rhaegar to look at her but she gave him a nod of reassurance and Baelerys to give her a hug before leaving.

After a long while Aerys finally spoke: "Daema follow me, I have something I want to tell you."

"Ooh, it's happening" Rhaena said happily.
