The Wild Dragon.

Part 32.

Rhaegar's Pov.

"And why couldn't we have taken the dragons?" Visenya asks with a roll of her eyes as we sit in the carriage heading towards the Red Keep. "Because most of our dragons have never lived in the Dragon Pitt or not for years , yours would probably eat half of King's Landing, Diaval is to big so is The Cannibal and probably Vermithor also we will not stay for long." I say making her huff before she crosses her arms over her chest. 

"Can't wait to see our uncles again." She says with a grin making Rhaenyra speak before i can. "We are here to handle some things, not start a fight Visenya. The Hightower's hold most power at this moment we must not forget that."

"Until grandfather passes, than father will be King and there power will be gone." Deryan says with a shrug making me shake my head.  "King." Viserys says as he climbs on my lap and grabs my cheecks.

"One day, and you will always be a prince." I say with a soft smile as he mumbles some things before i feel the carriage stop.

"Welcome Rhaegar of house Targaryen,  Prince of DragonStone and heir of the Iron Throne and his royal consults Princesses Rhaenyra and Saera Targaryen." A voice says as i the door opens and i walk out only to see well no one.

Releasing a scoff I hold my hand out for Rhaenyra who takes it before walking out and soon Saera follows her. "Is this the welcome a prince gets?" Deryan mumbles as they also get out and soon the large door opens making Lord Caswell walk out.

"Welcome back, my prince, princess." He says with a small bow as he walks over to me and i give him a nod. 

"Lord Caswell. "

.....................................................

"I would say it's nice to be home, but I scarcely recognize it." Rhaenyra says and she's right this doesn't look like home anymore. 

"They must have been loving the power." I mumble under my breath as we walk towards fathers chambers. 

As the King's guard opens the door we slowly walk in and soon a frown appears on my face as i see his miny Valryia covered in dust and cobwebs while some herbal smoke fills the room. It's like it hasn't been touched in years. Hearing the door close behind us Rhaenyra walks over to the silk curtain seperating his bed from the rest of the room while i follow behind her.

"Father." She says as she moves the curtain to the side before walking in. Seeing the man laying in his bed I shake my head, he looks more dead than alive. So sickly with bandages around his head while his skin looks as if it hasn't seen sunlight in many years.

"Who goes there?" Father groans out weakly as Rhaenyra stands besides his bed. "Its me, my king. Rhaenyra, I'm here with Rhaegar." She says while i stand a couple feet behind her.

"Rhaegar." He breaths out just above a whisper before repeating it once again. Making me slowly walk closer to them. 

"Help me up." Father says as he tries to move more up the pillow before Rhaenyra helps him while I don't even know where to look right now.  Sure he's been sickly for many years but this? He doesn't even look like the man i remember anymore.

"It's been so long." He heavily breaths out with the tiniest of smiles as Rhaenyra holds his hand. "The Sea Snake has taken a grave wound in battle in the Stepstones his son Laenor has feeln during the battle." I say as i look at him.
