The Vale - Runestone

Lady Rhea Royce was happy that her marriage to Daemon was annulled. She had decided to go for a hunt to celebrate. She was on horseback and rode till she met her cousin Ser Gerold.

"Good morrow, Lady Rhea." He greeted.

"Cousin." She greeted back

"What's today's quarry?" Rabbit? He asked.

"Deer." She answered.

"Oh, a fine challenge." He complimented. "Care for some company?" He asked

"I'd rather ride alone." She said and rode away from him.

"Good fortune to you." He said. She had stopped and saw a hooded figure, which she immediately recognized.

"Husband. Or should I say former husband." She greeted. "What brings you to the Vale. Or have you at last come to assume your role as husband? It's too late for that." Daemon walked closer, and the horse stepped back a little. "If you're in need of a bed, the Vale's sheep might be willing to lay with you. Our sheep are prettier after all. "

Daemon still said nothing. "Or perhaps your brother has at last had his fill of your company and casted you aside because he knew that you are the monster that everyone sees you as." Daemon walked closer. "What will you do now since you have nowhere to live because you can't inherit my home since we're not married anymore. I wish you'd just di-" She stopped talking knowing what Daemon was here for and she looked Daemon who had sinister smile on his face she then reached for her bow but wasn't fast enough and Daemon frightened the horse enough for it jump back and fall on top of Rhea Royce. She was paralyzed from the neck down. Daemon had walked closer to her. Daemon walked away from her. "I knew you couldn't finish!" She told him. "Craven!" Daemon then picked up a rock and walked toward her. As Daemon lifted the rock above her head, she only thought about one thing. Duncan. Her Duncan Stone, her son with Vaegon Targaryen.

Tower of the hand

Otto was packing his things to get ready yo leave Kings Landing. He stopped at the sound of Prince Vaegons voice

"Such a shame. How the mighty have fallen." He said.

"You did this? You're the one who convinced the king to dismiss me." Otto said in disbelief.

"I had thought about killing you, but that would be too easy. This was the next best way to make Taeron suffer." Vaegon said.

"You have made a grave error, boy." Otto spat.

"Have I? You see Otto it's easy to take someone's life, but to make them suffer is much more...delicious. You made your bed when you chose to tell Taeron about Rhaenyra and I. I had to make you remember your place in the realm." Vaegon said.

"You've never cared about the realm." Otto said.

"True, but I do care about my sister. Well, at least enough to seek vengeance for her. She loves me. She loves Taeron as well, and that is why I will burn you alive the next time you upset her." Vaegon said. "Safe travels, my lord." Vaegon then left the Tower of the Hand.

It was raining in the Kings Landing, and Otto was getting ready to get on his horse.
"A moment." He stopped at the sound of Alicents voice. She was shielded from the rain by a servant holding a big umbrella. "I do not wish to see you go." She said.

"Such is the kings decision." He said as he put his gloves on.

"A decision I most bitterly regret." She said.

He looked at his daughter. "And yet you made it possible, you chose Rhaenyra." He said.

"She swore her innocence, and I believed her." She said.
