I laid with Daemon in our bed as he played with my hair. When there was a sound hitting the door Daemon groaned and I smiled. "Come in.", Daemon spoke. "What we are not proper?", I questioned. "There not going to see anything.", he answered.

Lillian walked in and did not look shocked at our state. "Princess Rhaenys has urgently requested an audience of you both and Princess Rhaenyra.", she said. "Thank you Lillian we shall be there shortly.", I told her watching her turn away.

Daemon and I walked into the room hands holding. I pass Lucerys walking out and give him a small smile. When we walk into the room Rhaenyra walked over to us. "You both are late.", she stated. "Well we were a tad busy.", Daemon whispered. "We won't be late again my darling wife.", I said to her kissing her lips. "That what you both always say.", she spoke as I pulled away.

Princess Rhaenys walks into the room. "The Princess Rhaenys Targaryen.", Ser Lorent said. "Thank you Ser Lorent.", my wife said walking towards the center table. "Princess Rhaenys. Might we hope for the news of Lord Corlys recovery?", Rhaenyra questioned. "Viserys is dead.", she stated.

I immediately let go of Daemon walking over to Rhaenyra knowing the pain of the loss of your last living parent. "What.", Rhaenyra whispered walking slowly over to Rhaenyra placing my hand in hers as she squeezed it. "I grieve this loss with you, Rhaenyra. My cousin, your father... possessed a kind heart not often seen in this world." Princess Rhaenys walked closer towards us. "There is more Queen Aaliyah I seem to have recognized your brother Princess Aenar as well looking well there's no easy way to say this but he looked rather close with Alicent.", she told me.

"My brother betrayed me.", I whispered tears building in my eyes. "I'm sorry but there is more news I have buried Aegon has been crowned as his successor.", Princess Rhaenys said. Rhaenyra grunted and I see one of her hands go to her stomach. "They crowned him?", Rhaenyra asked. "How did Viserys die?", Daemon questioned.

"I could not say.", Princess Rhaenys stated. "How long ago?", I wondered. "A day past perhaps two. I was made prisoner in my quarters while the Queen made her preparations.", she answered. "Viserys has been slain.", Daemon replied. "Alicent demanded you declare for Aegon.", Rhaenyra whispered. "She did. I refused her.", Princess Rhaenys stated.

"And yet you are alive.", I whispered. "The High Septon crowned Aegon in the Dragonpit. I witnessed it myself just before I fled on Meleys.", Princes Rhaenys kept speaking. "They crowned him before the masses.", Rhaenyra said. "So that the masses would see him as their rightful king.", Rhaenys finished.

"That whore of a Queen murdered my brother and stole his throne. And you could have burned them all for it.", Daemon spoke. "A war is likely to be fought over this treachery to be sure. But that was is not mine to begin. I only rushed this warning to you out of loyalty to my husband and to my house. The Greens are coming for you Rhaenyra and for your children. You should leave Dragonstone at once.", she stated.
