The Wild Dragon.

Part 24.

Rhaegar's Pov. 

The Next Morning.

"Wake up!" Saera yells and i shoot up with a groan as i have a pounding headache right now. "Why are you so loud, like my head is pounding right now." I groan out as i lay my head back on the pillow while my eyes close again.

"Well when did you come back last night? You said you would check up on the children and yet hours later you still hadn't returned." She says and I try to think about where i have been last night but all I remember is going to check up on our children.

"I checked up on them, after that it kind of is a blur maybe my headache already started last night and I climbed in bed with one of them before coming back here." I groan out as sleep is trying to take over me.

Rhaenyra's Pov.

"So he just wandered in your chamber last night drunk? I wasn't with Rhaegar last night." Tommen says and i shake my head. It's not like Rhaegar to just simply get drunk and leave us worried, so what the hell happened last night.

"Then where in the seven hells did he go?! He climbed in our bed absolutely wasted and out of his fucking mind!"  I say and he gives me a deep breath with a shake of his head. "I do not know maybe he was just with one of the little dragons." He says making me release a deep breath.

"I've asked all of them they checked up on them and then left, But Visenya did hear voices outside her door last night one belonging to Rhaegar and the other she couldn't tell me with surety. " I start before my heart sinks. 

"You don't think he?" I ask Tommen who quickly shakes his head with wide eyes as he takes my arm. "God's no that mans heart beaths for you, Saera and the little dragons. Let me ask around and see if someone say Rhaegar last night, but don't let your mind wander to there because he would never." Tommen says with a reassuring smile. 

"Oke, just don't let Alicent catch word of this because who knows what she'll do."

The Next Day. 

Rhaegar's Pov.

Standing on the ship i close my eyes for a couple of seconds while the pounding headache still remains, god's it's the worst the last time I had one this bad was years ago.  I don't know what happened that night i went to check up on the kids like I do every night but Saera and Rhaenyra say I've been gone for hours before drunkenly stumbling in the room and when my head hit my pillow i simply fell in a deep sleep. 

"Are you feeling alright, Father?" Aemma asks me as she walks over with her book and i give her a smile. "I'm alright, what are you reading this time?" I ask her and she gives me a big smile before showing me her book. 

"The travels of the Wandering Wolf." I say and she gives me a nod. "It's about this man called Erik Stark and his travels to Essos in hopes of ending slavery but the Masters all stood together, Erik and his men fought bravely and where able to end slavery in Meereen, Yunkai and Astaphor before he and his men where overwhelmed. "She begins as we sit down on some steps while her eyes light up. 

"He was slain by the slave army and slavery returned to those cities, but many haven't forgotten what the Wandering Wolf did for them or that he even left the North. Since the Starks don't like being south, He was just different, brave, a man worth following and selfless he and his men gave their life to end something cruel.  He must have had no fear." She continues as her head leans against my shoulder making me wrap a arm around her.
