Viserys

"It is the pleasure of Daemon Targaryen,

"the Prince of Dragonstone

"and rightful heir to the Iron Throne,

"to announce that he is to take a second wife

"in the tradition of Old Valyria.

"She is to assume the title Lady Mysaria of Dragonstone.

"Her Grace is with child

"and is to have a dragon's egg placed in the babe's cradle in the custom of House Targaryen."

"The Prince has invited you to his wedding, Your Grace." The Hand of the King's lips thinned,surely outraged. The rest of the small council members were left speechless.

Otto Hightower puts down the letter sent by Daemon, the Rouge Prince,just this morning. The prince is currently occupying the ancestral seat at Dragonstone. The ancestral seat only for the chosen heir.

Viserys let out a deep sigh.His brother is provoking him to anger yet again.

Otto continued speaking."This 'wedding' is to be held in two days time."

"Gods be good.."

"Who is this Lady Mysaria the prince spoke of?"

"We believe —"

"Daemon's whore."

The silence resounded inside the council chamber.

Finally King Viserys spoke. "This is nothing less than sedition." He exclaimed.

"I strongly agree sire."

He groaned. Head aching to his brother's defiance.

"My brother wishes to provoke me.To answer is to give him what he wants." Viserys said.

"The realm is watching , Your Grace." Lord Redwyne said.

Viserys let out a sardonic laugh. "What would you have me do then? Send him to the wall? Perhaps I could put his head on a spike."

Otto then interrupted. "Daemon has seized Dragonstone, and has now stolen a dangerous weapon. A dragon egg."

The members tensed at this statement. If this whore is truly pregnant and birth— gods forbid—a son and heir for Daemon and had a privilege to have a dragon egg hatched on his cradle then it would be a chaos indeed.

Daemon forced his hand this time."Assemble a detachment Otto. I will go to Dragonstone and drag Daemon back to face justice myself." He's already tired of Rhaenyra's usual disobedience in taking her lessons and duty to be a proper heir. The girl always have a complain,adding to that the maesters are still hesitant and unused of teaching a girl the lessons designated for male heirs. He does not need Daemon to add on that stockpile of headaches.

"My apologies,Your Grace,but I cannot allow it." Said Otto." It's too dangerous. Daemon might not have an army to protect him,yet he still is without limit. " He plead.

"Then what do you suggest that I do,Otto?"

"Let me go to Dragonstone instead."

Talia

"Is that so?"

"Yes my lady! How outrageous! Yet worry none, Mysaria stated she is not with a child. She would never betray you, my lady."
