And The Aftermath

Aegon Watched From His Balcony As Guests Trickled In Like A Flood, The Guest List Was Limited To The Great Houses, Their Principal Banners, and A Few Select Wealthy Merchants Of Considerable Repute and Status Aegon Had Varys Whispering In His Ear, Telling Him Of Who Was Wearing What Mask. Margaery Was Wearing A Golden Mask With Flowers In It, Both Literally and In Regards To Patterning. Sansa Wore A Ice White Mask With Direwolf and Trout Patterns. Arya, Unlike Her Sister, Wore A Dark Grey Mask With Just Direwolf Patterns, Rather Than Direwolf and Trout Patterns. Desmera Redwyne Wore A Purple Mask With Grapes In It. Rhaenys and Arianne Wore Black and Orange and Orange and Gold Masks Respectively, With Rhaenys Mask Bearing Speared Suns Being Chased By Three Headed Dragons, While Arianne's Lacked Her Cousins Dragons. Visenya Wore A Black and Red Mask With Silver Dragons Patterned On Them.

Aegon Himself Wore An Elaborate Mask Of Orange, Black, Red, and Silver. It Incorporated Golden Dragons, With A Silver Sun, and Red Spear, While The Mask Itself Is Black. He Wore A Crown Atop His Head, Less Distinctive Than His Royal One, But Still Quite Distinctive. It Was His Crown, From Back When He Was Prince, Not King. Gold With Bronze and Silver Highlights, and Two Three Headed Dragons Standing On The Sides Of The Spear Pierced Sun, Which Sat In The Center. It Felt Strange To Him, Wearing The Crown Of A Prince, Now That He Was King, He Wondered What His Father Would Say. Aegon Also Had To Wonder What His Father Would Do, Should He Be In Aegon's Place, With One Choice Amongst Many Brides. He Married Aegon's Mother and His Stepmother, Lyanna, But A New King Meant New Alliances. Aegon Could Easily Take A Polygamous Marriage To Two Different Brides, But Whom?

Wedding Visenya Would End The Blackfyre Rebellions From Ever Happening Again, But This Would Be Small Compared To The Value Of The One Hundred Thousand Men That Could Be Gained By A Match With Margaery and Sansa Or Arya. Of Course Aegon Was Discounting Five Thousand From This Equation, But That Mattered Little. But Marrying Margaery and Myrcella Got Him Three Armies, For The Price Of Two. Myrcella Brought Forty Five Thousand Stormlanders and At Least As Many Westerlands Men To Her Name, Combine That Into A Hearty Ninety Thousand Men, Plus The Sixty Gained From House Tyrell, This Gave Aegon One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Men For A Defense. But There Were Other Reasons For Marriage, Love, Lust, Or Status. Marrying Myrcella Gained The Gold Of Casterly Rock and Potentially Prevented Another Baratheon Civil War, and Also Brought House Lannister and House Baratheon Into The Royal Dynasty.

Marrying Margaery Brought Tyrell Men-At-Arms, Massive Grain, and Brought Legitimacy To Tyrell Rule Over The Reach. Tyrell's Were Descended From Garth Gardener The Greenhand, Through The Female Line, Rather Than The Male Line, Like Every Major Tyrell Bannerman. Of Course, Aegon Could Solidify Dornish Power and Influence By Marrying Arianne and Making Her The Second Dornish Queen From House Martell In A Row. The Same Could Be Said Of Sansa and Arya Stark, Or Their Cousin Alys Karstark. Sansa Could Become A Love Wife, Visenya A Politics Wife. Either Way, Aegon Had Dances To Do, Ladies To Seduce.

Aegon Had Danced With Everyone Except For Visenya, Who Was Now Dancing With The King. Aegon Lead The Dance, Visenya and The Other Ladies Followed The King's Movements. Aegon Danced With Visenya His Hands On The Small Of Her Back, With Her Arms Around His Neck. Aegon's Eyes Were Reflected In His Dance Partner. He Was Targaryen, She Blackfyre. House Targaryen Was The Mother Side Of The Coin, House Blackfyre Was The Other Side, They Were Two Halves Of The Same Whole, Two Threads Of The Same Stitch, and Their Ancestry Was Identical. But Aegon's Was The Purer Dragon, His Ancestor Was King Daereon II Targaryen, Firstborn Son Of King Aegon The Unworthy, Visenya's Was Daereon's Legitimised Bastard Younger Brother Daemon I Blackfyre, Who Was Legitimised On Their Father's Deathbed.

Visenya Brought With Her More Coin Than Casterly Rock Could Have Produced In The Last Decade On It's Own. But That Didn't Have To Be All. The Very Reason Aegon's Father Had Gone To See Visenya's Father Was Because The Man Could Supply The Ships Carrying Large Grain and Wheat Shipments To Feed The Seven Kingdoms Come Winter. But The Magister Also Implied The Services Of "Freed" **** Soldiers, The Unsullied. Unsullied Were Unfearing, Unquestioning, and Unrelenting In Pursuit of Their Mission. Aegon Could Use Illyrio To Discreetly Purchase These Soldiers, Bring Them To Westeros, Free Them and Offer Service As Freedmen, Thus Gaining Great Loyalty. What's More, Aegon Could Use Them As A Trump Card Against All Manner Of Foes. Should Robert Baratheon Raise Flags Of Rebellion Once More, Not Even The Dothraki Could Break The Unsullied Lines and With A Army Of Soldiers Who Didn't Question Their Orders, Few Would Stand Against Aegon.

"What Do You Hope To Gain Lady Visenya? Surely You and Your Brother Have Shared Your Beds?" Aegon Asks Her. "We Have, But I Will Put Him Aside If It Means I Share Mine With You." Says Visenya. "Will You Now? If I Take You As My Queen, You May Fuck Him As You Please, But Bear His Children You Cannot. I Must Come First, My Cock Must Be Pleased Before His, You Must Take My Seed Before His, When I Ask and Where I Ask." Says Aegon. "As You Say Your Grace." Says Visenya. "Nice to Know Where You Stand My Lady.'' Says Aegon as The Dance Ends.

Kingslanding Had been chaos the night of the Ball, and Evsn The Drunken and Whore-Using City Guard Had Trouble Discovering Viserys Body Amidst The Chaos. His Body Was Found Admist Victims of Tavern Brawls. After Significant Effort, He Was Cleaned and brought Before The Court.
