At the end of 29 A.C, a joyful event occurred in the royal family - an addition. Lady Alyssa gave her husband another son. On the occasion of the child's birth, as soon as everything was cleared away, almost all members of the royal family gathered in the chambers of the mother in labor. Only Maegor Targaryen was absent, but there were good reasons for that. By order of the Conqueror, the prince was fighting on the Stepstones against the pirate king Sargoso Saan.
However, Velaryon was even glad of his absence, which cannot be said about her husband Aenys. Aenys wanted his brother to see at least his second newborn nephew. It did not work out with Aegon then, since Lady Ceryse herself was pregnant.

- Relax, Aenys, I will write to my son about the birth of another nephew,-  said Visenya.

- And me! - Rhaenyra chimed in with her grandmother.

- Congratulations on the birth of your son, Lady Alyssa. May the Seven bless him, - Hightower congratulated her, handing her a small seven-pointed star.

- Thank you, that's sweet, - Alyssa replied.

- Hang it over his crib, and the Seven will watch over him.

Taking his grandson into his arms, Aegon looked at him, then turned his tender gaze to his son.

- He looks like you,- he said.

- Yes, just as unhappy about being torn from his mother's arms,- ​​Visenya echoed her brother with a grin.

- Aren't all newborns like that?-  Aegon asked.

Taking his son carefully from his father's arms, Aenys couldn't help but smile happily. He was a father for the third time, and how beautiful his baby was. In fact, all his children were charming.

- Come here, my dears, he wishes to see you,-  Aenys said, and knelt down slowly so that the children could see the baby better.

- Little one, - Aegon said.

- Yes, Aegon, and as the eldest, you will be his guardian and protector, - Aenys said.

- Me too!- Rhaena cried.

- And me!- Rhaenyra was not left out.

They were so close, and once Rhaena had not been happy about her brother's birth, and Rhaenyra had not liked the boy following her around. But everything had changed. Now they played together happily. He wished that he and Maegor had been like that when they were children.

- Of course you will protect him, I never doubted you.

- And what is his name?-  Rhaena asked.

The children looked at the man curiously, as did the others present. Since Alyssa had named the child last time, it was Aenys' turn to choose a name, and he chose.

- Viserys, his name is Viserys, - he said.

In honor of his great-uncle Viserys the Far-Traveller, who renounced his claim to Dragonstone and went to travel the seas.

-  Hello, Viserys! I am your blat!

- And I am your sis!

- I am your sis!

Alyssa wanted to correct Rhaenyra, but decided against it in front of everyone. And she didn't have the strength.

"Perhaps a little later. Or Lady Ceryse will explain everything to her daughter herself, - Alyssa thought.

A little later, a feast was held in honor of the birth of another prince.

"Dear Maegor, I write to you with good news.
You have become an uncle again. Alyssa has given birth to another son for your brother, who has been named Viserys. The little dragon looks happy and visits his cousin quite often. It seems that in addition to Aegon and Rhaena, you have another competitor. I have no doubts about your skills, for I have trained you well, as did Ser Corbray. And yet, knowing how arrogant you can be, I remind you to be careful. War does not tolerate mistakes, for they cost lives. If you dare to return to me with wounds, I will make you regret that you returned alive.
P.S. Rhaenyra misses you and demands your speedy return. So try not to let her down.
"

After reading the letter, Maegor grinned. Only his mother could worry and threaten at the same time. True, his good mood was spoiled by the news of another child of Aenys. When he returned home, Alyssa would not miss the opportunity to shove another son in his face. Oh, he would have to be very patient not to strangle this bitch. But the man's heart warmed at the mention of his daughter. He missed her too and wanted to return home as soon as possible. But the pirate bastard was not so simple, so for the sake of victory he would have to linger on these damned islands.
