YEAR 105 AC

King's Landing

Red Keep ― Throne room...

It has been more than two years since King Jaehaerys I Targaryen died of old age. For almost 60 years, his reign brought peace and plenty to all in the Seven Kingdoms. Even the desert kingdom of Dorne, who repelled numerous Targaryen attempts of conquest, showed there respect for such a man and mourned the Old King's passing.

In order to Bring relations between the two families to peace, one of king viserys first acts where to summon the court and my family to the red keep.

"Presenting lord Corlys Velaryon lord of the tides and lord of driftmark and his wife the lady Rhaenys Velaryon lady of driftmark and the family" said the herald as we all entered the throne room adornments of various shades of turquoise blue and gold and black to represent our heritage

"Your grace" we said as we knelt to the throne begrudgingly in the case of my father who was still upset with the result of the council

"Rise lord Corlys I've summoned you for a reason, I've been aware of the ... distance between our family since the great council" said viserys as the whole room was silent in the tense atmosphere

"To help remedy this the king in his graciousness offers you the title of master of ships on the small council" adds Ser Otto Hightower the hand of the king ... a cunt if there ever were one smart but as arrogant as they come.

"You truly honor us your grace" said my father evenly when the king replied "however I believe this not enough as I am well aware on the fact of dissatisfaction in the final vote so I personally offer this to your heir step forward lord Aelor" shocking me and the court including the hand who looks at the king in shock and to me in annoyance

"Your grace" I say as I step forward and bow  "Aelor ive heard many good things of you specifically your ability to find those who where truly loyal to your family on drift mark I ask you to do the same for me here... I offer you the position of master of Whispers and lord confessor" replies the king shocking the entirety of the court

"My king I must protest such action" said the hand trying to convince the king "Enough Otto I've made my choice do you accept Aelor" he said "I .. Accept your grace" I reply still shocked

"Then rise my master of whispers" he exclaimed loudly for all to here "court is dismissed return to your homes and duties my lords and ladies" says the king as we all leave to our chambers

"This is a shocking development I would not think the king so .. generous" said father to mother and i as we all sat by the balcony overseeing the city below

"He wants us close to him that is for sure but he's to willing to please it will cost him the respect of many" I reply to him

"My cousin was born into peace he knows not what people are willing to do for there own greed that is clear with Otto Hightower's continued hardship" says mother in a even tone

"With both our positions at court it will help bolster our influence in court and Velaryon power and prestige" says my father "we mustn't be to hasty father with our position lest we bite the hand that feeds for now we must do what we can to forgive past slights and appear grateful to the king" I tell him sternly curbing his more ambitious plans

"Our son is right Corlys we mustn't seem to ambitious lest viserys and Otto try to limit our power -" said mother
