KING & PRINCE OF THE NARROW SEA
CHAPTER SIX
17th of the 12th moon of 115AC

◈◆◈◆◈◆◈◆◈

After the war was over, Daemon and his son were styled King and Prince of the Narrow Sea. The two were even given bone crowns at a celebration that took place in High Tide.

The next morrow, Maegor and Daemon flew to court, inadvertently rocking a ship with the Targaryen banner. A ship that was bringing Rhaenyra back to court after her tour to find a suitor to marry.
The two ride from the Dragonpit to the Red Keep, where no one greeted them upon their arrival. Not that they needed to be greeted, it was more something they wished happened.
They are given rooms to stay in and soon after the news of their arrival, the King summoned his court.

Dressed in their armor, sword in their belt and wearing their crowns, the two enter the Throne Room once all nobles were inside. Maegor walks confidently, having grown even taller during the past years, standing at 6'1" (183 cm).

Daemon had the Crabfeeder's hammer in his right hand, and his left rested on top of the hilt of his sword. The whole court whispers about them.
Reaching the base of the Iron Throne, the two are stopped by a line of the Kingsguard who unsheathe their swords at their presence, making a parallel with the time they were sent to exile when the King lost his wife ans son.

Ser Harrold's sword touches its end to Daemon's chest plate, while Ser Rickard Thorne's has its end to Maegor's chest plate.
Daemon points the Crabfeeder's hammer to Viserys.

"Add it to the chair." he tells the king.
"You wear crowns. Do you also call yourselves 'Kings'?" Viserys asks.
"Once we smashed the Triarchy, they named me 'King of the Narrow Sea,' and subsequentionally, my son Maegor 'Prince of the Narrow Sea.' But we know that there is only one true king, Your Grace." Daemon says and the two kneel. "Our crown and the Stepstones... are yours." Daemon finishes as they take off their crowns and offer them to the king.

"Well, where is Lord Corlys?" Viserys asks.
"He sailed to Driftmark." Daemon answers.
"Who holds the Stepstones?" Viserys asks.
"The tides... the crabs, and 2000 dead Triarchy corsairs, staked to the sand to warn those who might follow, Your Grace " Maegor says, smiling. The King walks down the stairs of the tall throne, approaching his brother and nephew, receiving the crowns and passing them to Ser Harrold and Ser Rickard.
