"They will call you a second Maegor, you realise"

Drohgul and Syrax soar through the air, trying to arrive to Dragonstone quicker than ser ottos departure when they finally landed and saw daemon and his bride to be Ragnor couldn't contain his scoff 

"What are you doing here, my prince, princess?" Otto asked as the two walked down the path

"Preventing bloodshed" Ragnor didn't spare him a look

"Ser Criston please escort the prince and princess to safety" Otto demanded

"Take care not to startle Syrax or Drohgul my lords they're rather protective of us"

"My uncle named me prince of Dragonstone" Ragnor spoke the common tongue to his father "this is my castle your living in father"

"Not until you come of age" he replied

"You have angered your king" Rhaenyra told him

"I don't see why" he said bluntly, clutching the egg "this is a day of celebration I am to be wed"

"You already have a wife" Rhaenyra reminded

"Not one of my choosing" Daemon looked to his son

"And this required you to steal my cousins egg" Ragnor asked impatiently

"You both shared your cradle with a dragon when you were born" Daemon said "I want the same for my child"

"You're to have a child?" Ragnor asked already knowing

"One day" he looked towards the woman he was going to take to be his wife before she walked off back inside Dragonstone

"I'm right here father" Ragnor started stepping forward "the object of your ire, the reason that you were disinherited, if you wish to be restored as heir you'll need to kill me so do it and be done with all this bother" Daemon started to walk away before throwing the egg back to the two younger Targaryen's, Rhaenyra placed the egg back onto the hot coals before they made there way back to their dragons

"Well done my princess" Ragnor congratulated

"Well done my prince" she laughed climbing onto Syrax

-------

"Uncle" Ragnor greeted as he and Rhaenyra arrived back at the red keep

"You disobeyed me" he spoke "you fled kings landing without a word"

"We did not flee" Ragnor stated 

"You acted without the crowns leave" Viserys said "you are my only heir and only daughter you both could've been killed"

"May we sit?" Rhaenyra asked

"You went to Dragonstone" he said when the three had sat down

"And retrieved the egg without bloodshed" Ragnor confirmed

"A feat I'm not sure Ser Otto could've accomplished alone" Rhaenyra finished 

"Yes well, I sometimes forget how alike you both were" he told Rhaenyra "your mothers absence is a wound that will never heal" silence fell upon the three "without her, the red keep has lost a warmth I dare say it will never recover"

"It pleases me to hear you say this" Rhaenyra confides in him "to know that I'm not alone in my grief"

"I wish I had known better, what to say to you in the aftermath, I struggled to realize that my daughter had so quickly become a woman grown, but I know" he was cut off

"The king must take a new wife" Rhaenyra finished

"No, I will not be taking a new wife, I could never replace your mother no more than I could replace you, Ragnor as my heir, however our line is vulnerable too easily ended and to ensure that we are better defended"

"I will have to take a wife" Ragnor said cutting Viserys off as his cousin had moments before, the family talked for hours more until Rhaenyra got tired and went to her room "Uncle" Ragnor started unsure how to go about this "is it possible for me to take two wives?" he asked

"Who has caught your eye?" he laughed sipping the wine from his goblet

"The Lady Alicent Hightower and" he paused "Rhaenyra"

"Gods be good" he sat up straighter

"You said yourself we need to strengthen the line I, I would have double the amount of heirs" he tried to convince him

"Do you love her?" he asks

"Yes" Ragnor fiddled with his goblet 

"You have my blessing, if you hurt my daughter" he looked at his nephew "I don't care if your my heir, I will banish you like your father"

"I understand"

"They will call you a second Maegor, you realise" Viserys pointed out

"Or a second Aegon"

-------

Ragnor stood in the small council room overlooking the city of kings landing thinking about how this was all going to go down, he was pulled out of his thoughts when the rest of the small council lords started filtering into the room

"Good morrow my lords" he greets "under the guidance of my uncle, I have decided to take a wife" at his words lord Corlys sat up straighter "I intend to marry" he looked towards Alicent and Rhaenyra caught his look tears filling her eyes "the lady Alicent Hightower" Otto couldn't have been more proud, he thought the king was the one to go after, his daughter was smarter and went for the heir "and the princess Rhaenyra before springs end" Rhaenyra on the other hand couldn't believe what she was hearing, Rhaenyra was angry at Ragnor at Alicent how could her best friend do this to her. Alicent was in shock pulling at the skin around her nail beds, Ragnor wanted to marry her, Rhaenyra as well of course but at least she would not be married off to some old fat lord who would force himself on her

"This is an absurdity" lord Corlys stood "my house is Valyrian, the greatest power in the realm"

"And I am to be your king" Ragnor countered watching as Rhaenyra looked as if she was to have a breakdown "Rhaenyra" she walked out of the room, the room staying silent
