Last Man Standing / Jacaerys Velaryon / Alys Rivers / Taelon Targaryen

13. Vanished

Vaera threw a fit. Of course she did. Not only was she separated from the love of her life, but dragons stone was under attack. Her mother had vanished. She went to harrenhal but it might as well have been a vanishing. And she was quite sure the world was coming to an end. Danika was never as dramatic as her big sister. But she was concerned about the fact that the castle had been attacked had been breached.

"He is the basest of villains." jace remarked. "He sullies the grave of his brother." They buried the twins together. Easier digging one grave than two.

"I cannot fault him for keeping his oath." Rhaenyra countered.

" I can fault him," vaera countered. " lucky he only went after you."

"Vaera." Larys scolded.

"And what of those who sent him?" Jace countered as Rhaenyra threw a bit of dirt on Erryks grave.

"Otto Hightower would never have allowed this." Rhaenys reminded Rhaenyra. "Hotter blood has prevailed, I think. The young men have taken the bit in their teeth. They wish to punish, to avenge. Soon they will not even remember what it was that began the war in the first place." Rhaenys went on.

"That is easy enough They usurped my throne." Rhaenyra corrected. she thought of her aunt set off on Dragon back last night, hoping to keep a handle on her brother and keep him from going off the deep end again. The women knew what daemon was.

"That is one answer." Rhaenys agreed. "Or was it when the child was beheaded? Or when Aemond killed Luke... or when Luke took Aemond's eye?" Rhaenys informed her calmly. " We teeter now at the point where none of it will matter. And the desire to kill and burn takes hold and reason is forgotten. There may be another way." Rhaenys assured. "Alicent Hightower." Rhaenys answered.

" I think I have decided that I need to stay in your bed... for safety of course" danika decided

" for safety." Jace agreed.

" have you spoken to her?" Danikas eyes drifted to baela.

" and tell her what? That we are madly in love and there's no way I could ever marry her. Even though just last moon, our union had been created and sealed, and basically set in blood."

" yes. say that exactly that." Danika agreed. " your union is new. She doesn't love you."

"I'm a catch."

"My catch." Danika agreed. " and I will not share you. So be a gentleman and things quickly."

"It is not her but the men around her who seek bloodshed." Rhaenys added.

"She permitted it." Rhaenyra corrected.

"As you permitted the murder of a little boy in his bed." Rhaenys countered. Rhaenyra hesitated.

"Alicent is in King's Landing. Her son sits my throne. There is nothing more to be said." Rhaenyra corrected.

"You know i think i realized the problem. Im just perfect and it is everyone else around me that has issues." Daemon decided.

"Fucks sake daemon". Avalon muttered

" it's a good solution."

"To what? Your idiocy?"

" you should be nicer to me. I am the king."

" consort." Avalon corrected slowly. It was like she dug a knife and to his back.

" Good morrow, Your Grace. My lords. " Criston said sitting at hand of the kings chair. " Forgive my lateness."

Taelon didn't know what to do. He felt useless here and he felt like a traitor. But he knew if he left, he would also feel like a traitor. he just needed to talk to his little sister. They could decide how to make this right.
