Maenya POV

I stormed into the small council chambers, Daemon by my side

All eyes went to us

"Is it true?" I asked

No one answered

"Well?!" Daemon raised his voice slightly

"Viserys is dead" Otto said gravely

"I have showed them the kings decision, the scroll, written with his own hand" Alicent said, standing from the chair at the head of the table, standing next to it, Criston Cole behind her, for me to sit there.

After a moment of thought, I did.

"So how much of it do you know then? How much of my father's last act are you aware of?" I asked, making sure we were all on the same page, whilst I did this Daemon stood next to me, on my right

Tyland Lannister was the first to speak
"We know that the king used his final act to write the declaration to make you heir the throne...which means we may proceed now with the full assurance of his blessing on our long laid plans"

I furrowed my brows,
What plans, I was aware the Hightowers wanted me on the throne but...

"What long laid plans?" I asked

Otto looked to me from his seat
"When you were sent off to Dorne, did you truly believe I was not working together allies?"

"To be perfectly honest with you, my Lord, but when I was young, I thought after I left, you would try put your grandchildren on the throne" I told him

He laughed slightly
"I am ambitious man, your Grace, but not a foolish one. My grandchildren, if I wanted to put them on the throne, would not stir up enough support from the major houses. Even if I tried"

He turned to the rest of the council
"Now, there are two captains amongst the city watch that are still loyal to Harwin, let us replace them. Lord Lannister?"

"The treasury is well in hand. The gold will be divided for safekeeping."

I interrupted.
If I was going to be queen, I was not going to let other people dictate how my rule would start.
"Alicent, has the scribe finished making the copies?"

She nodded "yes"

"Very well. Send a raven to every major Lord in Westeros with a copy of the scroll attached. let them see the proof with their own eyes and command them to come to Kings Landing and bend the knee to me." I ordered
