Visery sits upon the throne the very thing killing him as he looks down at Emerys who stands before him in front of everyone.
"So you are the dragonrider" Viserys says
"Surprised?" Emerys asks
"When did you find out you could mount a dragon?" Viserys asks as everyone looks to Emerys awaiting the answer

Emerys scans the room and finally her blue orbs land on Gisla hiding in the corner shaking her head desperately with horror on her face. She looked as white as a ghost
Emery smirked
"4 years ago on the night of Aemond and Gisla's engagement party" she says causing everyone to gasp

"When Godslayer attacked I used myself as bait and ended up caught at the edge of a cliff I bonded with the dragon before the rock broke beneath me and the dragon saved me." Emerys says
"That's impossible" Otto sneers as Emerys glances over at him
"Then why am I able to mount Godslayer now?"

No one could argue with her. Not even Otto.
"Why did you leave?" Viserys asks
"I was told to." Emerys simply says
"By who?" Viserys asks Emerys looks over to Gisla again and but Emerys wasn't as soft as she used to be as she grinned
"Gisla Tyrell...she saw me and begged me to leave and never look back as I would be a threat to her marriage to Prince Aemond." Emerys says looking back to Viserys

"So why did you go?" Viserys asks
"Because I thought I was being a good friend I sacrificed everything for Gisla Tyrell yet she allowed my life to be ruined for self gain." Emerys says
Looking at Gisla. Gisla suddenly swivels around and heads out of the room as Emerys watches her leave as does everyone else
"Why would this be a threat to her marriage to Prince Aemond?" Viserys asks

As Emerys remembers four years ago when Aemond had unexpectedly kissed her she shakes off those memories
"Because I was once engaged to him before she was I had main priority , our engagement ended when I couldn't mount a dragon but I have now so Gisla thought that I would be a challenge to her engagement to Prince Aemond." Emerys responds with her hands behind her back

"You joined forces with House Moroi. Why?"
"Because house Moroi took me in and treated me like an equal I have been banished and accused of illegitimacy my entire life king Viserys. You have no idea how hard that was" Emerys says
"Also the lands they took over were full of evil tyrants who enjoy harming others. I helped waged war on wicked people." Emerys says

"Very well Emerys I am sorry to hear the horrors you went through and that your father couldn't be there for you the way you needed. I'm sorry I also failed you as an uncle banishing you as a young girl but you are apart of this house. I hope to make amends" Viserys says

"Thank you my king" Emerys responds almost bored and unphased it was too late
"If it is true that Gisla lied about your death she is a traitor to the crown what do you suppose be done to her?" Viserys asks
Emerys smiles
"Nothing. I want to punishment for her" Emerys says
"I appreciate your mercy but I cannot marry her to my son Aemond any longer she only is loyal to herself and not her king." Viserys says

"If you wish to make amends king Viserys make her one of my ladies" Emerys says
Causing everyone to gasp
Visery nods
"Very well it's wonderful to meet you dear Niece I would love to have dinner with you tonight to apologise officially for your wrong doings and discuss your place in this kingdom." Visery says
Emerys nods
"Thank you for your kindness my king" Emerys responds walking away from the court room and everyone

"So that's it?" Aemond asks stepping forward
"She gets off the hook just like that?" Aemond asks wide eyed
"She has been wronged for a long time my son" Viserys says
"She killed hundreds" Aemond snaps
"But she wasn't wrong they were Tyrants" Viserys says
"WHY DEFEND HER SO STRONGLY?" Aemond yells
"Because now I hope to rearrange your previous marriage to her" Viserys says

"Why?" Aemond snaps
"What do you mean why? She is Targaryen it will strengthen our bloodline and Gisla is a liar" Viserys says
"You pass me around from woman to woman dont I get a say in any of this father?" Aemond yells
"Aemond" Otto growls
Aemond suddenly storms off the room and heads straight for the room of Alys rivers

As soon as her door opens Aemonds lips are on hers pushing her inwards taking off her clothes and closing the door behind him. Within the next few minutes Alys moans of pleasure are heard through the door.

As Emerys leaves she feels a suddenly smash across her face as Gisla appears eyes wide and chest heaving in a rage the slap doesn't phase Emerys as she is now a trained warrior. Emerys suddenly punches Gisla straight in the nose breaking it as Gisla crashes to the ground in her own blood. And begins crying
Emerys kneels down and whispers in Gisla's ear
"Don't fuck with me"

Emerys smiles and suddenly walks away leaving Gisla on the floor and bloody mess she steps back into her old room which hasn't changed when she senses someone follow her in.
"Emerys!" A voice yells as she looks over her shoulder to see Kila
She rolls her eyes
"What the fuck happened to you?" Kila asks enraged
"Ask your entitled bitch of a sister" Emerys responds unphased by Kila

Kila suddenly pulls out his sword but Emerys still has her decoration sword on display she picks it up and swivels it pointing it at Kila and he points his sword at her.
"Do you really want to go there?" Emerys asks
"What my sister did to you wasn't right I agree but you've just ruined everything for her" he yells

"Do you really think I care?" Emerys asks
Kilas eyes widen in disbelief
"Who are you?"

Emerys smirks
