101 A.C 

Aegon's Pov, 


"So you will be king after the King dies?" I ask father and he nods his head as we stare at the Iron Throne. "And then one day you'll be king."


"Me? Over all of the city?" I ask him with wide eyes and he releases a laugh before squatting down and placing his hand on my shoulder. "Over all of Westeros, you'll be king like Aegon the Conqueror was." 

"But he had a dragon....... you also had a dragon even Nyra's egg hatched....... what if..... If I'm a bad king because I don't have a dragon." I ask him with a frown.... and what if I'm a bad king because I don't have a dragon? 


"My egg never hatched, or that of Daemon........ or that of Princess Rhaenys, not everyone's egg hatches Aegon but that doesn't mean that you won't one day have a dragon. And I know you will one day be a great king." He says and I quickly nod my head before running forward and wrapping my arms around him. 

"Just like you." 


"Well that's to be seen." He laughs out as he stands up and lifts me up with him before I see mother walk over. "Already getting him ready for the council..... here I believed he had trouble writing this m-"


"I did not! And.... and the Maester said it is normal." I'm quick to cut her off and she releases a laugh as she walks over to us, feeling her place a kiss on my head I let a tiny smile grow on my face. 

"And he said my High Valyrian is the best he ever heard."


"Did he now! See the signs of a great king in the making!"
Father loudly says as he raises my above his head and it makes laughter leave my lips.  "Let me go!" I continue but it falls to deaf ears and for some time my laughter is the only thing being heard in the Throne Room. 




106 A.C 


"Your Grace with Prince Aegon just having turnend 11 would it not be wise to send him away." Lord Otto says and I stop twirling the marble ball around as my head snaps up in his direction. "Send him away? You wish to send the heir of the Iron Throne away?" Father counters and I nod my head in agreement with him! 

"Not like that, but there are many his age who go to become a ward somewhere.... it could strengthen the bands between families. I myself was a ward for years." 


"I'm not letting you send me away........ you stupid ass kisser!" I yell his way as I lunge over the table and throw a hard punch against the man's face. "Aegon!" Father yells as I'm being pulled back by Ser Harrold as my second swing just misses Otto's face! 

"No, he wants to send me away! I'm not leaving you, mother or Rhaenyra ever!" I yell as I kick around in the hold, I'm in while Otto is feeling at his bleeding nose!  "Enough! You just hit the hand of the king!" Father yells as I push Ser Harrold off of me. 


"To your chamber! I will deal with you later!" He continues as he just looks in anger at me and I start to run out of the small council chamber. 


................................................

"You know your father is searching high and low for you." A voice says and I look over the wall to see mom stand there as she has an amused smile on her lips. "Yeah..... so he can send me away like Otto wishes." I mumble as I cross my arms over my chest and lean back against the wall. 

"Your father would never send you away Aegon, your place is here with us." She says as she makes her way over to my 'secret' hiding place and takes a seat next to me. "Until Otto forces me away." 


"Otto can never force you away because than I as Queen will give him also a good right one, I heard the Maester speak that he has a broken nose." She says as she bumps her shoulder against mine. 

"Yeah well he deserved it trying to send me away." I mumble as I lean my head against her and she soon wraps her arm around me. "Well your father went on a tour once, and so did we when you and Rhaenyra where still small." 


"I don't want to go on a stupid tour. Father said you are with child...... if it's a boy I need to be here to teach him everything I know." I say as I place my hand on her stomach. "Will you now?" 


"Yes....like reading.... writing, High Valyrian.... how to ride a horse and how to fight." I say as I lean further down and place my head against her stomach while her fingers run through my hair. 


"And if it's a girl?" 


"Then.... Rhaenyra can teach her everything she needs to know, but I can still teach her things right?" I ask her as I look up and she nods her head. "Indeed, you can, but it's still early it will take months before the baby is here." 


"Do you think father is mad at me? I just got so angry........ because that stupid idiot wanted to send me away." I ask her as I wrap my arms tighter around her. "Your known to lash out.... out of anger Aegon, it's not always a bad thing.... but it surely is not always a good thing either. I think if you apologize to your father, he will forgive you in the blink of a eye." 


"But I'm not sorry for hitting him, and you say I shouldn't lie." 


"Ow I know you're not sorry, but a lie every now and then doesn't hurt anyone." 


"So wait I am allowed to lie?" I say as I sit up and look at her with a frown making her chuckle. "Who broke the vase that once belonged to Queen Rhaenys." 


"I told you it was Rhaenyra she was swinging with a wooden sword." I say as I look away from her and up to the ceiling. "I know it was you Aegon, we all lie from time to time..... it's in our nature. Now just tell your father how sorry you are even if it's a small lie." She says making me quickly get up with red cheeks. 


"Okay..... love you." 


"And I love you.... now go." She says and with that I start to run away from her and towards her and father's chamber.  Passing the corner as I run up the stairs I soon see the King's Gaurd stand outside of the door but I make my way past him. 


Opening the door I poke my head in and see father with his stone city that represents old Valyria. "Let me geus your mother found you and told you to come and apologize." He says as he looks over his shoulder and I bite my lip. 

"Maybe..... but I should not have done it." 


"And is that a true apologie or a lie, Aegon." 


"He was speaking of sending me away! What was I supposed to do sit there and let him?" I now say a bit louder making him turn in my direction. "And you think I would have let him? Your place is here in King's Landing by my side..... I will never send you away Aegon." He says and I quickly run over to him before wrapping my arms around him. 



"You promise?" 



"I promise."
