Prince Daemon and his wife, Princess Marya had flown with their children, all on dragonback to King's Landing to attend the petitions raised against them. They had landed their dragons in the Dragonpit before they took the wheelhouse to the Red Keep where they were met with the Small Council and the Hand. "Prince Daemon, his wife, Princess Marya and their children!" was announced as they stood before the doors of the Red Keep, the Targaryens of Dragonstone wore dark grey colours with the occasional red which looker byes thought looked much like how they imagine Dragonstone to look.

"Prince Daemon, welcome" the Hand of the King, Otto Hightower said as Daemon looked around. He scoffed slightly before Marya smiled. "Thank you for the welcome, my Lord Hand" she said as she linked her arm with her husband before they walked up the steps inside the Keep, followed by her children. Aegon, their eldest, who looked like his mother more than he did in childhood followed his parents as Visenya and Aemond went to find the courtyard to show off their sword skills as Helaena ventured to the gardens, all her children—with exception of Daeron—had come to King's Landing to support their claim of Dragonstone.

Otto took Daemon, Marya and Aegon with him to the Small Council room where some of the members sat, including Vaemond Velaryon. "What has been your plan here, Hightower?" Daemon said as he sat down with his wife and son beside him. "ser Vaemond shall be given Driftmark, as is his birth right as true Velaryon" Otto said as he looked at the Prince and Princess. "What about Lord Corlys? What if he recovers? He named Prince Lucerys his heir" Marya asked as she looked at the men among her. "Prince Lucerys is no son of the late ser Laenor" Otto said as he looked at Marya.

"Not according to ser Laenor and the King" Marya said. "The King has not been ruling the Seven Kingdoms, he has been too ill, and Princess Rhaenyra has disappeared to Gods knows where" Otto said. "She has not been at King's Landing?" Daemon asked looking confused. "No, after Driftmark ser Laenor died and she stayed at Driftmark for a moment before she took off, some say she has found some place outside of King's Landing, or Harrenhal" Otto said. "She has only corresponded to us by raven" he said.

Marya looked at Daemon, before she turned to Otto. "What about her position as heir?" Marya asked. "If the Heir has not done their duty in King's Landing, or even as regent in the absence of the King" Marya started as she looked at the Small Council. "Which is why we have asked you here today" Otto said looking at Tyland Lannister and Lord Wylde who had been brought back to the Small council after the leave of Queen Marya. "We wish to make Aegon King" Otto said as he looked at Aegon, who looked at his parents.

"Aegon?" Marya asked. "Aegon will have the support of the Westerlands, of the North, of the Reach" Otto said as he looked at Marya and Daemon. "He would show he is not his father—" which caused Daemon to smugly smirk. "—but the heart of his mother, a dragon and wolf" Otto said. "upholding his duty far better than the absent Princess and her bastard children" Otto said as Marya looked towards her son.
