Since Aemond confessed to the small council of the horrible accident, the meetings were tense, and almost awkward.

He had gained a seat in it, alongside his brother, the King. Aegon had to be dragged to attendance, sometimes suffering the spoils of the night before where he indulged in wine and sex. Since he rose to power he didn't even bother in leaving the Keep, he just brought his ladies from the skin trade and his other vices to the Keep through secret passageways and sometimes he wouldn't even bother in hiding them.

"Had the Blacks declared war yet?", asked Aegon, playing with the dragoneye in front of him

"What about the ravens we have sent?", asked Alicent

Alicent had a pleased and content smile on her face. But at seeing his father's grin change suddenly, panic quickly settled in

"They won't dare go this far south", she said

"Once they meet with the Knights of the Vale, they will", Otto said, "the northerners went ahead even more, they repudiate the ascension of Aegon the drunk, calling him a usurper", he said firmly

"They would wage war against the crown?" she asked, indignant

"...Against the usurper", he called, "That wretched princess whored his sons to Cregan Stark, it has to be" she muttered
