Heir To The Throne | Male Reader X Alicent Hightower

The Change Pt. 3

The day of the tournament had now arrived. Y/n and Gwayne were currently walking together.

Y/n: Remember to not die. And if you face my uncle, don't lose.

Gwayne: I remember, Y/n. Trust me I got this.

They looked at each other and fist bump going their separate ways for now. Y/n went up to were the rcoyal family was sitting. When he got he looked around, he saw Otto talking to his father and Rhaenyra talking to Alicent. He also saw his favorite cousin, Rhaenys. Who he referred to as Aunt Rhaenys. She noticed him and they smiled at each other.

He walked down some steps and sat beside Alicent.

Y/n: What did I miss?

Alicent: Your sister lacks basic knowledge on the world.

Y/n: Well I already knew that.

Master of Revels: Prince Daemon of House Targaryen, Prince of the City, will now choose his first opponent!

Daemon rides out and surveys the assembled jousters, eventually picking one wearing the Hightower sigil. Viserys and Otto exchange glances.

Master of Revels: For his first challenge, Prince Daemon Targaryen chooses Ser Gwayne Hightower of Oldtown, eldest son of the Hand of the King

Y/n: That bastard bitch.

Alicent grew a nervous look and grabbed Y/n's hand.

Daemon glances at the crowd one last time to make eye contact with Y/n before charging forward. Daemon is hit and loses his lance but isn’t dismounted. Otto looks pleased. Both riders get new lances and charge again. At the last minute, Daemon swings his lance in front of the hooves of Gwayne’s horse, sending both tumbling over. Gwayne wasn't even hit as he got up, with varying reactions from the crowd and nobles. Daemon rides in front of the balcony. Rhaenyra and Alicent approach.

Rhaenyra: Nicely done, Uncle.

Daemon: Thank you, Princess. Now, I'm fairly certain I can win these games, Lady Alicent. Having your favor would all but assure it.

Alicent grabs a wreath and shares a glance with Y/n who's eye was twitching, before dropping it on Daemon’s lance.

Alicent: Good luck.

Alicent quickly walked away and took a seat back beside Y/n.

Y/n: He did that on purpose.

Alicent: But was it for you or my father.

Y/n: I don't know.

Y/n you look behind him to see that his father had suddenly disappeared, she looked at Otto. But could tell that he didn't know where he went either. He closed his eyes as he had bad feelings, it felt like the world was slowing, till he heard it a scream. A scream from his mother.

Y/n jumped up and ran off as fast as he could, both Alicent and Rhaenyra watched him go and looked at each other, before they also got up and went after him, with Otto watching, very curious.

Gwayne, who was about to go met up with Y/n, suddenly saw him pass him and then eventually saw his sister and Rhaenyra running to.

Gwayne: What going on?

Alicent: We don't know, come on!

Y/n ran and ran following the sound of her screaming and eventually found the room and saw his father and Mellos outside the room, Gwayne was right behind him and Alicent and Rhaenyra slightly behind him, barley being able to keep up and being completely out of breath.

Y/n: What the hell is going on in there.

Viserys: That is what I'm trying to figure out, well, speak it.

Mellos: To sacrifice one... or to lose them both. There is a chance that we can save the child. A technique is taught at the Citadel, which involves cutting directly into the womb to free the infant. But the resulting blood loss...

Y/n suddenly pushed the both of them out of the way and walked into the room with Viserys quickly following. He walked to his mother side and grabbed her hand.

Aemma: Y/n??

Y/n: Shhhh, your going to be just fine.

Y/n looked up at Visery, Rhaenyra and Alicent.

Y/n: I need you four, everyone else get the fuck out the room.

Mellos: My Prince, you can possibly....

Y/n suddenly stood up and grabbed him by the throat.

Y/n: When this is over, I promise to the gods. I am going to kill you.

Y/n let go and Mellos quickly left the room with everyone else as Gwayne led them out and closed the door, Rhaenyra quickly went to her mother's side and grabbed her hand.

Aemma: Rhaenyra, what is going on?

Viserys walked over to Y/n who was at a table with all the nurses thing that they brought.

Viserys: Son, are you sure you know what your during.

Y/n looked at him with most serious look on his face.

Y/n: More than you could possibly know.

Y/n walked back over to his mother and handed her a bowl.

Y/n: Drink this, mother.

Aemma did so and seconds later she looked like all her pain was completely gone.

Viserys: What was that.

Y/n: It numbs her entire body, she probably doesn't feel anything right now. I need a light or a candle.

Alicent looked around and saw one on the floor, she picked it up and put a lighting it. He walked walked over and put a scalpel over the fire heating it.

He finally walked back to his mother and looked at her before taking a deep breath and starting.

A baby was heard crying in the room as Viserys was holding his son, Aemma was still almost completely out of it, but looked fine enough, Rhaenyra was sat on the edge of bed out of breath, and also now seeing life in a whole new way.

Gwayne was sitting on the floor, with a look like he had just fought in 100 wars, it was his own fault. Nothing wanting to learn when he and Y/n were away.

Alicent was trying to clean, anything to take her mind of what just happen, she couldn't help but wonder if that would one happen to her. Everyone there then looked at one who saved everything.

Y/n, who was in the corner on a chair passed out, while the other helped, they didn't do anything compared to him. Without him either Aemma or the baby could have died, maybe even both.

Viserys: Let him rest, he deserves it.

Gwayne: I don't ever want to do anything like that ever again.

Rhaenyra: If having kids means I have to experience that, than I'm never having kids today in my life.

Everyone there started to laugh well still being completely out of breath, Viserys walked to Y/n and put a lighty hand on his shoulder.

Viserys: Thank you my son.

Viserys left and Rhaenyra walked over and light moved his hair out of his face.

Rhaenyra: thanks to you we have a younger sibling to more than our image.

Rhaenyra left and Gwayne came over to him.

Gwayne: You're lucky your my best friend, Because I'm never doing anything like that again.

Gwayne walked off and Alicent walked over and kissed him on the cheek.

Alicent: Rest well, my love.

They all left the room as Y/n slept, him not knowing that he had just changed the course of history.
