The Love of a Dragon

Part 26

Aegon's Pov, 

Hearing screaming and yelling I'm quick to push the bloody doors open only to find everyone practically awake. "ENOUGH!" I yell at the top of my lungs and it makes all heads snap in my direction as I see Jace and Luke with blood on their face..... but my eyes soon widen as I see Aemond with stitches over his eye. W-what the bloody hell happened here.

"What happened?" I ask no one in particular as I'm quick to walk over to him, squatting down I take his chin in my hand and look his face over. "Will it heal?" I ask the Maester who gives me a apologetic look.

"The flesh will heal. But the eye is lost, Your Grace." He says and I let my eyes move towards the other two boys as Rhaenyra stands there with Daemon beside her. "Who did this, Aemond." 

"Luke." He says and I nod my head. "T-they called me a bastard." He softly continues and I stand up again while my gaze hardens. "He called us bas-" 

"Enough!" I yell as I'm quick to cut Jace off who backs away behind his mother from my tone while Rhaenyra's eyes are searching mine. "It was a regrettable accident." She says and I soon have to pull Alicent back. 

"The boy Lucerys brought a blade to the ambush. He meant to kill my son." She says in disbelief and no matter what Rhaenyra says....... he bloody cut the boy's eye out! "Vile insults were levied against them." 

"From what he tells me your sons made vile insults against him. Are you trying to justify that the boy lost an eye because of an insult." I say as I step closer to her. "If he had been in bed, You-" 

"He's a child! How many times did we sneak out of bed when we were his age! To fly on our dragons, to run around the Red Keep! It doesn't matter that they were out of bed, what matters is that your son cut his eye out, and that you're standing there trying to justify it!" I yell before I look towards the two boys. 

"Why did you call him a bastard and I will hear nothing but the truth Jace, it's a crime to lie against your king." 

"Aeg-" Rhaenyra start but she's soon shut upped by the look she's getting from me. "W-we saw you..... leave her chambers." He says as he looks between me and Alicent. "So, you call a boy a bastard because you saw me leave his mother's chambers? When you saw me leave your mother chambers more than once did you also call yourself a bastard." I say making Rhaenyra pull the boy more behind her. 

"Aegon...... it was an accident, they are children they don't know what they speak off." 

"And yet he was man enough to pull a blade, Aemond is in line for the Iron Throne as long I have no male heirs..... I could have your sons head for this." 

"Aegon." Viserys is quick to say as he steps over with his wooden cane. "This interminable infighting must cease! All of you! We are family! Now make your apologies and show good will to one another. Your father, your grandsire, your brother demands it." He almost yells as he looks around him and slams his cane into the ground a couple of times. 


"Good will? Look at the boy Viserys! Good will is not going to give him back his eye!" I yell towards the man who tries to place his hand on my shoulder but I slap his arm away as roars are being heard from outside.

"Do not... allow your temper to guide your judgment. They are children...... accidents happen. Aegon....  Alicent this matter is finished." He says  as he moves to walk away from us. "And let it be known, anyone whose tongue dares to question the birth of Princess Rhaenyra's sons or my own should have it removed." He loudly says before walking away and I see Alicent move past me as she pulls my dagger out and soon the hall erupts into one of screams as Rhaenyra is just able to stop the incoming dagger.
