Little Devil / Viserys Targaryen / Tommy Shelby

57. Little Devil

"You fucked Daemon." Harwin realized.

"It was a mistake!" Rhaenyra declared.

"Really?" Harwin hissed. "You fuck criston had his kid claimed it as mine. You gonna have a silver haired little twat and pretend its mine too?" Harwin shouted.

"It was a mistake-"

"Yeah you keep saying that. You know what I dont hear rhaenyra. An apology." Harwin demanded.

"Im-"

"Too fucking late." Harwin cut her off.

"I love you!"

"Then why go anywhere near daemon? We have a family. You wanted me. You asked me to marry you. Recall? This union wasnt forced upon us. You wanted this. What? Every Ten years you need to fuck another man have his bastard for you to be happy with me?" Harwin demanded. "Aislynn was right-"

"This is aislynns fault!" Rhaenyra decided.

"You blame everyone for everything and you dont take real responsibility for anything." Harwin corrected.

"Harwin-"

"When aislynn asked you to talk to the boys you acted like they were innocent and now they think they are just like you. Above punishment. Luke. My luke stabbed out Aemonds eye! Rhaenyra dont you feel any remorse!"

"My sons-"

"If they knew bad behavior had punishment maybe they would have stayed in bed. Maybe aemond would have both his eyes maybe-"

"Harwin shes trying to tear us apart!" Rhaenyra begged reaching for him.

"No. You did that well enough yourself Rhaenyra." Harwin corrected.

"Sedate him," aislynn said calmly. "He is in too much pain, it pains me to see him in such a state," aislynn sniffled wiping at her eyes.

"Of course my queen." The maester agreed heading off.  A smirk covered her lips when she saw tommy.

"Well?"

"Our old pal lizzie is alread en route. Package in hand."

"Can you trust a whore?" Aislynn countered.

"The amount im paying her if she succeeds yeah. Whores can be bought." Tommy assured.

"Smart. Rhaenyra knows your faces." Aislynn agreed.  "And the boys..."

"How is Aemond?"

"Sleeping. Or pretending to. I didnt want to disturb him. I want to avenge him." Aislynn reminded tommy as he wrapped his arms around her.

"What of luke? What of daemon? What of his children? What of harwin?"

"To many people. I want rhaenyra gone. I want aegon named as heir. I want viserys dead before the ink dries... in that order." aislynn clarified.

"Step one already in motion." Tommy assured.

"I dont want the children hurt... daemon is going to be a problem." She realized

"Yeah." Tommy agreed.

"Send a man. Do it quietly. Daemon is not the warrior he once was. He is old and weakened. Motivated by nothing more then crowns and... sex." Aislynn smirked.

"I will get a second parcel for lizzie." Tommy agreed heading off.

"Rhaenyra lets let bygones be bygones, your father was right. This fighting must end. Truly, your step mother, Queen Aislynn Hightower." Rhaenyra sneered as she read over the note. "What a load of shit." Harwin rolled his eyes.

"She is being the bigger person after everything and you cant-" harwin shook his head. "Im going to have a talk with the boys. Have fun at you pity party." He marched off and rhaenyra scowled drinking down the fine wine. Cursing aislynn with every sip.

"Okay I need you to show me how to tame a dragon... because I marched up to syrax and she was being a grumbly bitch just like her previous owner." Aislynn decided.

"I will help you mum." Aegon assured.

"My good boy." She agreed wrapping an arm around him.

"My queen," tommy remarked coming up to them. "I hope today was fruitful for you."

"Danced on the grave, drank too much and said all the bullshit, it was a good time. Best fucking funeral." Aislynn declared. "Now onto phase two!" Aegon laughed out. "Remember what I said about those that hurt my family. I protect my family. When hell breaks for out enemy well you just have celebrate the little moments."

"Can I have another drink? If we are celebrating." Aegon added.

"Go on." Aislynn agreed. "Fathers ready?"

"Yes."

"Oh harwin im so sorry-"

"I want to take the boys to Harrenhal for a while." Harwin interrupted.

"They are yours. You may do as you wish." Aislynn assured.

"I just thought you should know." Harwin countered.

"They are my grandsons. The children love them. But I understand. You take your time. Aemond needs time as well."

"I saw the note you wrote Rhaenyra." Harwin added. Aislynn nodded slowly. "She must have snapped after reading it. She was so mad that you were doing better would always be a better queen then she would be. Must have drank that whole bottle before the jumped stumbling out the highest tower on dragonstone."

A high tower you say? Aislynn wanted to cackle but she kept a sorrowful face.

"Im so sorry harwin." Aislynn offered instead.

"A fortnight after. Enough time to make it not suspicious. Maybe a moon but he needs be sedated for it," tommy was telling john and arthur. "Then peaceful. She doesnt want him to suffer any more. She did love him. But... not anymore. Not after driftmark."

"The pain of losing his daughter might just kill him from the looks of it," arthur countered.

"Less work for us." John countered with a shrug. "Pops doing the naming ceremony tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"In light of the princess rhaenyras passing our king has decided to name a new heir." Otto declared whether the king knew it or not.

"His eldest son Aegon Targaryen Hightower will succeed him." There were cheers from the people below as Aegon and aislynn stepped out on the balcony. Everything was coming up hightower.

It felt like floating on cloud nine, even if they needed a bit of help from a little devil to get there.

Any suggestions for the next Aislynn pairing?
