Heir of Shadows, Rhaenyra x Alicent

Chapter 14. Visenya

It took a month for Mysaria's spies to inform her of Daemon's takeover. A full month Rhaenyra spent hanging around Dragonstone when she could have been acting to stop her Uncle. She was furious when she found out. 

"My father has been bedridden for a fucking month and I was none the wiser!?" She yelled. "What if he had died? Why did no one tell me? Why are you so useless!"

Her father was the only real family she had. Of course, she had Alicent and Edya now but her father had always been there for her. He may have not been the best father but she still loved him and could not imagine life without him. She was also not ready to be King, she was still young and wanted to enjoy her life before she was forced to take on that responsibility.

Mysaria narrowed her eyes. "Princess.. this was kept very under wraps.. it is a miracle we found out this early."

Rhaenyra huffed. "A miracle? A miracle you say?! My Kingdom has been taken over! I should be Prince Regent! I should be looking after my kingdom.."

"Yes, a miracle. None of my spies knew but Lord Beesbury betrayed your Uncle and wrote a letter to one of my main sources who then told me. If he had not done that we would not have known. Do you not see? You have supporters, Rhaenyra, people who will fight for your claim." Mysaria insisted.

"Lord Beesbury?" She murmured, she did not remember much about the man but had definitely met him before. "I will reward him when I am King... Is now finally the right time to take Daemon down? I have been patient Mysaria but if I have to wait much longer I shall kill him myself."

"Yes, your Highness. The plan has already been put into motion.. my spies across Westeros have began spreading Daemon's secrets. All the lies he has ever told, crimes he has committed, and Lord's wives he has fucked are all being exposed as we speak. People are already suspicious due to the death of Rhae Royce, all this extra information will completely ruin his reputation."

"Ruin his reputation? We are going to need more than that." She insisted.

"I would not be so sure.. the people will do wonders if motivated to do so. It also helps that people will begin to doubt his word so if he ever does decide to expose you no one will believe him. Be patient, wait a few weeks before returning to the capital and I assure you once you arrive you will be welcomed with open arms. The entire Kingdom will despise Daemon by the time I am finished." Mysaria assured, grinning almost too widely for Rhaenyra's liking. "If he is not assassinated in his sleep within the month I will be surprised."

Rhaenyra wanted to scream so quickly took a deep breath to calm herself. "If you fuck this up Mysaria.. "

"Trust me."

"I will return to King's Landing in three weeks. You have until then to ensure Daemon never sits on the throne no matter how hard he tries." Rhaenyra warned.

Mysaria bowed her head. "It will be done."

Rhaenyra turned on her heel and stormed out of the room. She quickly made her way back to her chambers where she knew Alicent would be waiting.

"Ali? Can I come in?" She called when she reached the door.

"Enter!"

Rhaenrya opened the door and walked in, she found Alicent sitting at her dresser brushing her hair. The girl was almost two months pregnant so was not yet showing, but Rhaenyra still got excited about the future whenever she saw her.

Rrhaenyra went over to her and kissed her cheek. "Hello, my love."

Alicent twisted her body so she was facing her. "Hello, what did Mysaria want?"
