"Yes i told daemon to back off. He was harassing aemond". Criston confirmed.
"Okay. Moving on."
"Davina." Tommen corrected pulling her back to criston. He didnt get off with no interrogation. Criston smirked however.
"What? Anyone that bullies daemon back isnt a killer."
"Hes fucking the queen."
"You what?"
"Im not!" Criston objected.
"Well he wants to." Tommen clarified
"That is absurd!" Criston demanded.
"Testy for someone that doesnt want to bang the queen." Vaera noted.
"She is my friend. My queen. Aemond is the prince. He has been picked on enough for being different he doesnt need daemon up his ass." Criston remarked sternly.
"True." Davina agreed.
"I didnt kill rhaenyra."
"Because you loved her and was mad that she choose someone else that wasnt you." Tommen urged
"No!"
"You asked her to run away. I recall her tour. I had tagged along with davina to make sure no one tried to take advantage of her and you tried to." Tommen added
"No!"
"Something about oranges." Tommen challenged and criston was fuming
"That was years ago." Criston reminded him through gritted teeth
"And then at her wedding to ser laenor you murdered a man in cold blood because you would have been hung if you killed laenor for marrying the woman you loved!" Tommen decided
"Stop it!" Criston shouted shoving tommen back. Davina grabbed him by the back of his shirt throwing him back.
Cookie ferocious little dragon he was snarled at criston stepping between them.
"Keep your head or lose it." Davina warned
"You should be looking at daemon. Not me." Criston countered brushing himself off. "He was complaining to everyone since he arrived that he should be king and consort would be a useless title. That his brother was weak and his wife was shit in bed. I saw him going to a brothel when he arrived as well. I was training with young aemond-"
"You have taken him under your wing." Tommen agreed
"I have. He needed a role model. Someone to help guide him." Criston confirmed.
"And you were happy to fill that position." Davina agreed calling cookie back to her side. "Get vaera honey. We got this." She purred stroking the little dragons back.
"Yes. I am sworn to the queen and tend to her and her children. Yes i made it my responsibility to look out for her children personally. Help them. Guide them. Train them." Criston agreed with a huff. "Did daemon have the same mentality when he married rhaenyra and became those boys father? Or did he toss them aside and wait for rhaenyras death so he could claim the crown?"
"Tell me about the shove at the party." Davina requested.
"Aemond was talking to daemon. I saw it clearly getting heated. And since aemond is a gentleman he wouldnt push daemon back but i would."
"-she is never going to do that because she's not an idiot... she knows the moment she names you King is the moment you murder her." Aemond decided "So you're never going to be anything more than a consort. A play thing. You might as well be her court jester." Aemond taunted.
"You are nothing, nothing, boy." Daemon warned. "You are worthless and-"
"Back off, My prince." Criston warned shoving Daemon back. Daemon scoffed.
"Ser Crispin." He answered.
"Aemond is the queens son, he is ranked higher than you. Learn your place."
"Where the fuck was I during this conversation, I would have loved to someone else put daemon in their place!" Davina demanded.
"With me, by the punch bowl," Tommen reminded her his hand trailing over her back, she hummed in agreement.
"Thats right."
"You want to go Cole?" Daemon asked.
"It is your brothers name day, he requested no violence." Criston corrected.
"Because you know the tourney was a fluke." Daemon agreed.
"You want to go? Lets go outside." Criston agreed. "You lost then and you would lose now." he warned.
"Doubtful." Daemon countered.
"Lets see then." Criston agreed both mens hands went to the hilt of their swords.
"Daemon!" Rhaenyra called out.
"Saved by the heir, must be nice hiding behind Rhaenyra's skirts for the rest of your life, my prince."
"Then Daemon marched off in a mood and-"
"Everyone literally everyone poked at Daemon and set him off, its him. Case solved!" Vaera decided.
"And what?" Tommen questioned.
"I checked on Aemond, he was unphased by Daemon though." Criston answered. "Rhaenyra was whispering to Daemon before the breeze rushed in and then... the scream."
"I believe him." Davina decided. "Good job, next time you take on Daemon, give me an invite to the party." Davina suggested. "I love watching Daemon lose."
