As you were arriving Runestone, you saw Caraxes squaling to you and Meraxes. You unmounted from your dragon, your brother nowhere to be found.
Once you arrived to Runestone throne room, you saw your brother sitting on it.
-Where's Rhea. What are you doing sitting on her throne?
-I'm the lord of Runestone now, Rhea is dead, dear sister.
-What? How? What did you do?
-You wound me, I did nothing, she fell off her horse and hit her head on a rock. We were married with no children, so Runestone is mine now.
You knew he was lying, you were sure he killed her, he didn't wanted to marry her in the first place, he wanted Rhaenyra.
-Very well, your presence on Kings Landing is required at the end of the week, King's orders, Rhaenyra and Laenor will get married in two weeks.
-She is mine, sister, I can't let that happen.
-No, she's not, our brother would not allow your marriage. Now that you're not married anymore, find someone else.
-Are you going to let me return to Dragonstone? I know that you don't live there anymore.
-You're right, but still my place, I let you return there, but Daemon I'm serious, it's mine.
-Yeah, don't worry, I'll protect it while you're not there.
-Fine by me, I must go, see you in a week brother.
You went back to Kings Landing, your brother was already expecting you on the throne room.
-Your grace, I have news, our brother is now the Lord of Runestone, Lady Rhea had passed away, she fell from her horse and hit her head, an horrible accident. Daemon will return to Dragonstone and he will come here in a week.
-I'm truly sorry for Lady Rhea, I'll send my condolences to her people. Well done sister, you can retire now.
As you were walking to your chambers, Alicent approached you, asking to speak with you privately, you lead her to your room.
-What do you want?
-I need you to speak to Rhaenyra, she won't listen to me, please tell her to find me.
-I will not do such a thing, you hurted her, stay away from Rhaenyra.
-But I love her Aeriana, I did not wanted to marry the King, my father compelled me to spend time with him, he forced me, I did not had any choice-. she said crying while hugging her pregnant belly, this was her third pregnancy.- this is not the life I imagined for me, I just wanted to be with her and now she hates me, please you must say that to her, I can't bare the thought of her hating me.
You looked at her in disbelief, it never occurred to you that maybe she was being manipulated by her father, you should know better, you know how is he, you felt pity for her, you were horrible to her and she was just another victim of his father's games.
-I'm sorry for what you're going through, I'll see what I can do with my niece-. you smiled kindly to her.

It was the night before the wedding, a few days ago you tried to talk to Rhaenyra about Alicent, but she didn't wanted to hear anything about it, she was hurt and she wanted to forget her, so you didn't push her. You were at the salon, next to the King, in his other side he had Rhaenyra, as she was next to Laenor and the Velaryon family.
Next to you was Daemon and next to him an empty sit, assuming that Alicent would sit there, and next to her Otto, who was already there.
Your brother started to speak.
-We are here today, to honour the union between two great houses of Valyria, the only ones to remain alive nowadays. A union between Targaryen and Velaryon, my daughter Rhaenyra, the heir of the seven kingdoms and Laenor the heir from Driftmark-. as he was continuing to speak, the doors suddenly opened, letting you see Alicent, with a red dress, you didn't know if it was Otto's move or if she did this of of anger for Rhaenyra ignoring her. She walked to her sit, not looking to anyone, her sight straight to her front. Your brother glanced at her in disbelief, he raised his hand with a cup of wine and said.- Now enjoy the food everyone, eat.
As you were eating you heard Otto praising her daughter for doing what she was told. Daemon looked at you, anger all over himself. He whispered to you.
-He must die sister, he will be a problem for us in the future, if Viserys dies, he will have the council by his side to proclaim Aegon the King.
-We can't kill the hand of the King Daemon, and this is not the best place to discuss this. Just behave as long as you're in the Red Fortress. He will not do anything as long as I'm here, I can assure you that.
