Davina knelt beside Rhaenyra cautiously, she gave her a little shake and then a harder shake.
"Rhaenyra?" Davina questioned. "Wake up."
"Davina," Tommen tsked.
"What? I'm just double checking." Davina shrugged.
"Is she?" Jace questioned, his breath hitching in his chest.
"Someone check on Vis." Tommen suggested. "Daemon can you take care of your boys?"
"They arent mine." Daemon corrected nonchalantly as he spun his glass around his cup taking a long sip. "SO I get the crown right? When Viserys croaks?"
"She's dead..." Helaena agreed. "It is the circle of life, be thankful of the time you had with her." Luke's lip quivered, jace couldnt believe his eyes.
"I think Daemon killed her." Vaera decided pointing a finger at Daemon.
"SHut up you little shit." Daemon hissed.
"Don't talk to my daughter like that." Davina demanded shoving Daemon back. "SHe's right, you just wanted her crown, but you dont get it with her dead dumbass."
"It's not an eye for an eye, but I think I like this better." Alicent murmured.
"Thought you might." Larys agreed, they shared a smirk.
"Her children are not suited, Daemon is not suited," Otto informed the room. "I think we should move to naming Aegon-"
"You really can't stop, can you?" Rhaenys countered. "I think I should have it, Aegon is a drunk child, Rhaenyra would have wanted another woman to have her crown."
"This isnt up for debate." Otto corrected.
"Criston, grab Daemon and lock him in the cells," Davina decided. "Oooh!" She declared. "This is turning out to be a good day after all and here I thought when you got here there would be nothing but misery." Daemon shoved criston away.
"You hated Rhaenyra too, maybe you killed her." Daemon countered.
"Okay dont look at me!" Davina demanded. "I know I have killed a few husbands in the past but Rhaenyra? Come on I loved that little shit head. Before she married you and turned into a backstabbing cunt."
"Mum," vaera begged.
"That sounds like a confession." Daemon countered.
"You wanting her crown and already planning Viserys assassin says otherwise!" Davina shouted.
"This isnt accomplishing anything," TOmmen remarked. "Besides Davina didnt kill Rhaenyra, if she was going to kill someone it would be you, Daemon.'
"Thank you." Davina agreed. Daemon rolled his eyes.
"It was dark maybe you missed." Daemon mused.
"I dont miss." Davina hissed out the S like a serpent.
"You know whos been awfully quiet? Larys." Vaera decided. All eyes turned to Larys and Alicent side stepped away from him.
"Me?" Larys countered. "I didnt kill her."
"Thats exactly what a guilty person that did kill her would say!" Aegon agreed.
"Rhaenys is a better option." Otto corrected.
"Are you fucking serious?" Rhaenys seethed.
"Larys limps along, we would have heard his cane," Alicent realized. Larys rocked on his cane like it was golden.
"You had most reason to want Rhaenyra dead." Otto agreed.
"I'm not the heir's heir you idiot." Rhaenys hissed. "Maybe you just want to draw attention away from yourself."
"I didnt kill Rhaenyra." Otto corrected.
"Thats what the killer would say!" Aegon repeated.
"You know what you know what, im going to solve this!" Davina decided.
"You are still a suspect." Daemon corrected.
"Who asked you bitch?" Davina sassed. "Okay im going to talk to every single one of you and figure it out. No one wander off." Davina decided. "Tommen you are up. Vaera you too!" Vaera ran to her mother, holding onto her hand.
"This is so exciting a real murder in the castle! You be watson, I will be sherlock!" Vaera decided.
"Alright, Sherlock." Davina agreed.
"Me? You think im-" tommen chased after his wife.
"No. I need a game plan." Davina corrected. "Okay, when the lights went out, what did you hear? What did you smell?"
"What?" Tommen questioned.
"I thought I felt someone brush up against me, it was scratchy... sort of like my riding jacket... smelled like hay too but the staff was wandering around I suppose."
"No, Viserys sent them away, wanted it to be private after the food was served." Tommen corrected.
"Thats right," Vaera agreed. "I remember asking for more carrot cake before they left."
"Smart girl... we need to examine the body again." Davina realized.
"It was a stab, quick and deep, to the chest," Vaera corrected. TOmmen stared back at his daughter of 12. "When you were talking to or rather shouting at Daemon I looked at the body."
"Anything else you see?" Davina questioned.
"I cant believe you are encouraging this." Tommen murmured.
"I did hear a click but I dont think it was a cane, I think it was heels." Vaera remarked, Davina closed her eyes and tried to remember the moment. A lavender haze stared back at tommen as Davina opened her eyes.
"Vaera, we are going to call upon our witnesses one at a time and I want you to discreetly investigate. Do you think you can do that?" Davina questioned.
"There is a killer on the loose!" Tommen objected.
"You can count on me." Vaera assured.
"Bring cookie with you, for protection." Davina added.
"He would love that!" Vaera declared. Cookie was her dragon, he was a few moons old and about the size of a large dog, he still fit in the castle and in Vaeras bed and he was a dutiful dragon, just like Davina's dragon Fury and completely loyal to Vaera. Davina knew nothing would happen to her precious little Vaera with Cookie protecting her.
"And if something isnt right, you either have cookie attack or you run back to me." Davina added.
"I can handle this, Watson."
"Go get 'em sherlock."
