Johanna chuckles at the sight of Aegon on the Iron Throne as he listens trying to seem interested as he hears the troubles of lower lords and the Small Folk as he steps in for his father who had started to neglect his duties so Aegon could learn how to rule when Daemon eventually passed.

Johanna did not agree with how Daemon was teaching their son however. Daemon should be guiding Aegon not throwing him into the deep end in the hopes Aegon could swim, and he was for now but with Rhaenyra and the twins Aegor and Saerina Aegon was starting to get overwhelmed.

Aegon glances up at his mother who smiles down at him before sighing as she turns and, lifting her skirts walks down into the hall making the two lords that were arguing over a newborn child pause so they could bow their heads to her.

"My lords," she says as Aegon stands and walks to her side, kissing her cheek as he leaves "My son is required by the Small Council I shall sit the throne today."


"Daemon!" Johanna calls as she marches into the King's Chambers rolling her eyes at the sight of his mistress Messandi the mother of his bastards in a chair as Daemon is dressed for the day. Messandi stands now in fine silks as she bows her head to Johanna who looks her over before looking at Daemon who looks back at her.

"What Johanna?" Their marriage had fallen apart in the past two years, they were not sure how it happened but they suddenly found themselves with lovers and not caring that they had them.

"Aegon sat the throne today," Johanna says "Again! You cannot do this!"

"I am the King!"

"Anyone who has to say 'I am the King' is not true King," Johanna glares at him as he rolls his eyes, Johanna had been spending too much time with her advisors Otto Hightower and Ceryse Hightower. 

Their affect on her was starting to show and it annoyed him to no end, he missed Lady Tyrin Arryn, she always made she that the Hightowers stayed at bey but she was in the Vale with her dying husband with her children.

She had been there for months and the Hightowers had sunk their claws into the Queen who had even started to get her followers use a green and black Targaryn sigil as her personal shield although it was only Tommen along with the Hightowers who wore them.

Johanna still used her own sigil of a Dragon holding a Lion in its mouth but she had changed it so the Hightower torch was beneath the dragon who was now in flight. The court had also started to become divided somewhat not that Daemon seemed to care.

The court was becoming Black vs. Reds, Daemon and his followers were the reds although it was just a cape they had over their shoulders while Johanna's followers were the Blacks with hints of emerald green.

People were unsure of what the green stood for however, could it be a nod to the Lannister's green eyes or was it the Hightower green? People were unsure but what they were sure about is that the Royals were divided and it was only Daemon who was a red amongst them.

All of the Queen's children were Blacks while Daemon's bastard children where Reds apparently but they lived in Dragonstone with Rhaella, Viserys and Daenerys non of whom were very happy about them being there however.

Aegon was not as it was his seat that they were in. Rhaenyra was there with Maegor who had married Helaena who was pregnant and Aemond and Rhaena who were engaged by Royal Announcement.


"Why are you here Johanna?" Daemon asks tired as he looks at his wife who looks back at him coldly.

"I am taking Aegon and Tommen away from court," Johanna tells a shocked Daemon who steps back slightly "We are to go to Dragonstne to join my other children, yours with-... Melissa?"

"Missandei" the woman in questions says annoyed as Johanna waves her off without a glance.

"Your bastards will be sent to you, I will not have them in my house."

"You have bastards-" Daemon starts "What is so wrong about mine?"

"You let me keep my children after I gave you a choice, you could have had them sent away byt you did not. You never gave me such a choice."

Johanna sighs as she looks Daemon over with a shake of her head as he steps towards her.

"We leave on the morrow, out things will be sent on."

"I will not allow this."

"It has been arranged." Johanna turns and walks out pausing when Daemon calls after her.

"I love you!"

Johanna glances over her shoulder at him before shaking her head "I no longer believe you."
