The Gentle Queen: HOTD

Possession & Confession|18|

"Oh, my dear wife, come here!" a slightly drunk Viserys shouted as he saw his beautiful, young, and heavily pregnant wife talking to a random Lord.

"Excuses me My Lord, it seems my husband calls for me." Lilly excused herself kindly before walking towards the king, who sat with her father and other lords.

"Your Grace," she said softly, bowing before greeting the lords and her father. "My Lords, My Lord Hand."

"Isn't she such a pretty, kind, obedient wife? She gave me a son; hopefully another one is in her womb." Viserys boasted drunkenly as he rubbed her stomach, making her uncomfortable as the lords cheered.

"The gods provide my dear husband," Lilly said, placing a kiss on his cheek and smiling slightly.

Rhaenyra stood watching everyone move before looking to her side, hearing her title being called, and seeing a man decorated in lions approaching her.

"I wonder Princess was your own second name on a day as grand as this?" He asked,

"I honestly don't recall, and neither will Aegon, but my father insisted on such a celebration," she replied tensely.

"Lord Jason Lannister," the man said, bowing to her with a cocky smile. She gave a tense smile in return, nodding her head.

"I gathered that from all the lions," she mused, gesturing to his clothes.

"I don't think we have been properly introduced." Lord Lannister said, making Rhaenyra roll her eyes, looking at the ground.

"Your twin serves on my father's council," Rhaenyra said as he grabbed two cups of wine, shaking his head.

"Tyland is frightfully dull. Gods love him," he said before handing her one of the cups of wine. "The finest honeyed wine you'll ever taste, made in Lansisport, of course," he said, making the princess roll her eyes once again, muttering "of course" as she gulped down some of the wine.

"the Kingswood It's a fine hunting ground, but the best spot is to be found at Casterly Rock, near my home. Have you been?

"Once... on tour with my mother when I was young, and honestly, I can't recall much of that either," Rhaenyra said, laughing slightly at the end.

"The Rock is three times the height of the Hightower in Oldtown, taller still than the wall in the north. It's been said that if one were to stand in the tower on a perfect day," he started saying, grabbing her shoulders and turning her body before continuing.

"One could see clearly across the Sunset Sea," he said, waving his straight hand through the sky as if he were imagining it.

"It must be quite something," Rhaenyra said, drinking some more wine.

"I don't have a dragonpit, of course, but I do have the means and resources to build one." He said looking her over his words made her give him a side eye as she turned around, looking confused.

"Why would you need a dragonpit?" She questioned, "To house dragons, of course," and he replied like it was obvious.

"I'd do anything for my queen... or... my lady wife," he said, smirking, and Rhaenyra tried not to laugh.

"Thank you for the wine," she said, handing him back the cup before walking away, leaving the Lord shocked.

"Is that what I am offering to the great houses?" Rhaenyra shouted at her father, causing everyone to quiet down and look towards the commotion.

"Rhaenyra, what are you on about?" Viserys asked, confused, as he turned around to face her.
