The dragons bastard

Chapter 25: Victory and deception

Rhaegar had been getting to know Ophelia better for the last few weeks to find and kill the Dane Ubbe, Belarea in a sense was jealous do she did not show it fully she could not help but feel it in her soul, Aemond however did notice this, he always felt people he like for example Belarea where always more interested in Rhaegar then himself but he shuts it away deep inside his mind never to let out and to boil in there always there to torment him. They had arrived at the camp of Egberts men where held not far from Ubbes camp of danish Vikings, with the Duke of Kent's banners flying high Egberts began to explain to Ragnar the plan he thought could work but Rhaegar immediately noticed this was dumb to fail "Ubbe will be expecting this if you charge in full force he will send his men to surround you and pick you off at the slightest second this attack happens in the middle of sundown, I have seen this before when helping the mercians defend off the Dane's on the border of Northumbria it's dumb to fail" Egbert frowns with annoyance "and how do you plan on making it less failure then my plan already".
"We attack at night around the midnight hour we course a fire as a distraction then you send your men into the attack, while I confront Ubbe" Egbert looks at his men, they all consider and agree with Rhaegar "alright fine we go with your plan it better work" Rhaegar grins and nods.

At midnight Rhaegar and Ophelia began setting fire to one side of the camp while Belarea and Aemond set fire to the other part of the camp, chaos erupts as danish troops scramble to stop the spread of the fire, then Egberts men sound the horns and they attack men charge at the men already armed and ready while horsemen kill the enemy still waking up from the ensuing chaos Rhaegar meets his eyes on Ubbe who is incredibly angry he turns to face Rhaegar and growls with anger "Rhaegar! Son of the shittaker Baelon Targaryen! Come to face me, have you!!" Rhaegar chuckles "who else was I going to attack your horse!" Ubbe rages and charges full force into Rhaegar as they both begin fighting.
Ophelia, Belarea and Aemond where fighting as a trio against swams of incoming danes Belarea was like a fiery phoenix in her own right and skill taking down as many as she could dodging with such skill not even a predator could harm her with her two sword equipped on her, Ophelia had a daggers she was agile and quick like a snake turning and weaving like a goddess of Olympus, and Aemond holding his own with a sword and shield he was was slower then the women fighting beside him but he had the skills of any other warrior in battle or times of war "how many is your count Belarea!" Shouts Aemond "27! You!?" Aemond chuckles "16! I'll catch you up!" She chuckles "you wish!!" She grins as she impales a man coming towards her recklessly.
Rhaegar and Ubbes fight had almost been 30 minutes both of them bruised and bloody from the sword fighting and punching intervals "I'LL KILL YOU" shouts Ubbe in a fiery barbarian rage against Rhaegar he unwisely and recklessly starts to unbalance his fighting stance and chest exposed, Rhaegar drives the sword straight to his chest through the stomach and pull his sword out and he kicked Ubbe to the ground the Saxon soldiers belonging to the Duke of Kent under Egberts command blown the horn victory.
Afterwards as the celebrations begin Rhaegar talks to Ophelia "so now that Ubbes dead what you going to now" Ophelia smiled slightly by the corner of her "i don't know" Rhaegar nodde but was completely caught off guard by it "I think I'll stay with you and the others for a while longer" .

It's been a week since Ubbes death by the hands of Rhaegar and they all arrived at Wessex to rest up, Egbert at the dead of night got up and went to the royal keep in Wessex and told Alfred he killed Ubbe and not Rhaegar Egbert wanted him out of the way even if it meant temporary or permanent, by morning the news circulated around Winchester, Aemond had told him what Egbert did the night before Rhaegar was in a rage and charged to the main hall as Aemond, Belarea and Ophelia including Baelon to stop him confronting Alfred during mass of prayer with the court by even holding him back, he barged through seeing Alfred "what is the meaning of this" Alfred says frustrated "Egbert did not kill Ubbe I did" Egbert stands up defiant "lies!" Rhaegar faced him and was about to approach him but Baelon stops him "son calm down this is not the place" Rhaegar in his anger showed Baelon he wasn't gonna shove he had to keep diplomatic relations with Wessex for Mercia "this is a place of worship you will be quiet!" Alfred shouts at Rhaegar his frustration and anger growing "you will go outside and wait for my Judgement" Rhaegar coldly scoffs at that comment "Judgement I did nothing, I killed Ubbe man on man me alone with this Sword!!" He draws his sword and every Guard in the hall raise their weapons, Alfred stairs at Baelon, who shakes his head pleading to let this slide, Alfred knew he couldn't kill him like so many would in this hall, but he can't killing Rhaegar would be a diplomatic disaster for Wessex and that's something he doesn't want if his dream of United Kingdom under one monarch called England it to pass and become a true reality, "you will be no longer welcome back in Wessex you are to leave with Men and women you have been accoupung with back to Mercia Now leave!" Baelon breathes a breath of relief as Rhaegar walks off in a fury the others follow but to get the supplies for the journey, Bealon catches him outside in the courtyard before leaving through the exit "What were you thinking you could of destroyed any diplomatic relations and solution" Rhaegar faced him "I don't care about Wessex or Mercia it's never been my home, my home is back in the Seven kingdoms where my son Should be!!" Baelon stares at him "get out of my sight".
As Rhaegar was going to the stables a large of men grab him and know him Egbert watched as his men drag him away and hands a coin bag to a clocked Norse person his men then throw him a cell and take him away to gods no he was taken to the ship by the Look of things it appears to be a slave ship he was then knocked out cold.
