Jaehaerys Targaryen

To The Surprise Of The Northerners and The Queen Mother and Dowager Queen, In The Doorway Stood Prince Jaehaerys, The King's Younger Half-Brother and A Devotee Of The Old Gods and The Northern Traditions. Dowager Queen Lyanna Was Clearly Surprised By This. "Jon, What Are You Doing Here? I Thought You Were Joining The Black??" Asks Lyanna. "I Was, But When The Raven Came That Egg Was Launching An Attack On A Thorn In The Seven Kingdoms Side, I Knew I Had To Return." Says Jaehaerys. "I've Named Jon My Hand, Of Course With His Return, We Have Another Opportunity To Strengthen Bonds and Create New Alliances. So With The Position Comes An Opportunity To Do His Duty and Join The Black Later On." Says Aegon. "As We Agreed Egg." Says Jon. "As We Agreed Jon." Says Aegon. "What About The Plan Of Attack?" Asks Oberyn, Offering A Break From The Situation. "Our Primary Opposition Is Obviously The Pirates, But If We Strike Fast Enough and Hit Hard Enough, We Should Be Able To Take It In Very Short Campaign. The Real Problem Will Be Holding It Though. We Need To Be Able To Defend It For Long Enough To Drive The Thought Of Taking It Back From The Minds Of The Raiders At All." Says Aegon.

"We'll Be Needing The Fleets Of The Arbor, Casterly Rock, White Harbor, and Storms End To Begin Preparing For A War and Strike On The Islands Of The Stepstones. You'll Talk To Your Father Lord Tyrion?" Asks Jaehaerys. "Naturally, He'll Make Me Sober Up First." Says Tyrion. "Don't Bother, I've Already Sent A Raven, As His Grace Requested." Says Varys. "Is That True Egg?" Asks Jaehaerys. "Jon, Varys Is One Person On The Council Besides Lord Tyrion Who Will At Least Be Polite Enough To Tell You They're Screwing You Before They Do, So You Can Trust Their Words." Says Aegon. "I Can't See Robert Taking It Well." Says Stannis. "Don't Be So Hasty Lord Stannis, We May Yet Be Able To Reconcile Lord Robert and The Crown." Says Varys. "Meaning What Exactly?" Asks Stannis, Narrowing His Eyes At The Word Reconcile. "Perhaps, We Should Explain This Now, Rather Than Later?" Asks Tyrion. "So Be It, Take A Seat, and Start Pouring." Aegon Tells His Page and Squire, Brandon Stark, Who Became His Page and Squire As A Father To Jon. "Yes Your Grace." Says Brandon.

"We Don't Need To Sugarcoat Why There's A Lot Of Bad Blood Between House Targaryen and Robert Baratheon. Nor Do We Need To Pretend How Much There Really Is and Why. The Main Problem I Think, Is Not Because Our Dowager Queen Chose My Father Over Robert, But Because She Never Had The Courage To Tell It To His Face and Why She Chose King Rhaegar." Says Aegon. "Your Not Suggesting I Talk With Him?" Asks Lyanna. "Look, I'm Not Going To Deny He's An Arse, But You Cannot Deny That You At The Very Least Owe Him An Explanation On Why You Chose Our Father and Why You Never Just Came Clean." Says Aegon. "He's Right Sister, Robert Is Many Things, But A Killer Of Women, He Is Not." Says Eddard. "I've Already Penned A Raven and Had It Sent. I've Asked Lord Robert To Come To Kingslanding With A Holy Vow To Give Him Ten Minutes With You, Don't You Dare Make Me A Liar." Says Aegon. Lyanna Looks Uncomfortable. "Mother, What Harm Is There In Giving Him A Reason Not To Hate Our Family?" Asks Jon. "Fine, I'll Do It." Says A Defeated Lyanna. "Lord Stark, I Want You and Lord Stannis To Ensure Robert Remains Non-Violent, I Would Send Others, But To Be Honest, That Wouldn't Go Over Well." Says Aegon. "Very Well Your Grass, If He Won't Listen To Me, Eddard He Surely Will." Says Stannis

"Good, Now That The Drama's Out Of The Way, Let's Continue....I Don't Expect Any Major Problems, But We Need To Make Sure Our Officers Are Incorruptible Or At Least Brave Enough Not To Turn On Us. Which Is Why I Want Men Of The North Leading Our Main Forces. The Royal Fleet Is Large Enough To Launch An Opening Attack On Bloodstone, But Only With The Fleets Of The West and Reach Will Have The Strength To Potentially Hold It Indefinitely." Says Aegon. "Shall I Lead The Attack My Lord?" Asks Lord Wyman. "No, I Need You Here, Defending The City, I've Asked Lord Greyjoy To Give The Raiders In The Stepstones Hell and Not Antagonise Our Ships When They Come. While The Royal Fleet, and The Fleets Of The West and The Reach Attack Bloodstone, Our Friends In The Stormlands and North Will Need To Protect The Shores Of The Reach and Dorne From Retaliatory Actions." Says Aegon. "Who Will Lead The Fleets Then?" Asks Lord Manderly. "Me Of Course, I'll Be Striking At Bloodstone, With My Brother By My Side." Says Aegon.

"That's It?" Asks Tyrion. "Don't Be Absurd, There Will Be At Least Three Others, and I'm Praying They Can Play Nice Together." Says Aegon. "I'm Not Going To Like This Am I?" Asks Eddard. "Probably Not No." Says Jaehaerys, Earning A Chuckle From Aegon and The Northerners. "The Lads In The Docks Have Been Building A Great Ship For Our Royal Fleet. It's Large Enough To Carry At Least Two Hundred Men At Arms, With A Small Cavalry Unit and Two Compliments Of Archers. It's Bee A Nightmare To Fund and Design, But It's Maiden Voyage Is At Hand. Joining Us On The Ship Will Be The Young Daegon Blackfyre, Our Young Wolf Here At The Table, and Please Give Me No Hassle For This Lord Stark, Our Third Man Will Be Jamie Lannister." Says Aegon. "The Kingslayer? Are You Sure That's Wise?" Asks Lord Stark. "Forgetting Your Distaste For My Brother, Will You Seriously Lie To Yourself and Us That He Is Not A Great Swordsman?" Asks Lord Tyrion. "Very Well." Says Eddard Stark. "Thank You, Now Then Grand Maester, I Believe It's Time For The Ravens To Fly and Bring The Banners To Bear On These Scum." Says Aegon As Pycelle Bows and Departs. "We're Done Here, But Jon and I Need To Speak Alone." Says Aegon. "Yes Sire." Says Varys As He and The Kingsguard Usher Everyone Out.

For Ten Minutes, Aegon and Jaehaerys Sat In Silence, Just Enjoying The Quiet. "Who Is She??" Jaehaerys Asks At Long Last. "I Haven't Completely Decided Yet, But I've Narrowed It Down To Three Potential Women, I'll Let You Know When I've Decided, Which Will Be Tomorrow." Says Aegon. "What About You? I Know You Have Two Brides, But You Every Bit As Dornish As Rhaenys." Says Jaehaerys. "You Mean Paramours?" Asks Aegon. "Whatever You Want To Call Them, But Yeah." Says Jaehaerys. "Well I've Sent For Three Dornish Girls, One Reach Girl, and Three Northern Girls To Come To Court To Serve As Handmaidens For The New and Old Queens, Gives Me Easy Access To Initiate Anything." Says Aegon. "Any One I Know?" Asks Jon, and Aegon Grows Silent. "Egg, Don't Tell Me...." Says Jon. "Wylla Manderly, Alys Karstark, and..........Sansa." Says Aegon.

"You Know If You Get One In Sansa Your Gonna Have To Marry Her?" Asks Jon. "So? I'll Stick It In Her Ass?" Asks Aegon. "Egg!" Says Jon. "What? Don't Tell Me You Didn't Get Up To Anything With Aunt Dany On The Way Up?" Asks Aegon. "Not........Dany." Says Jaehaerys. "Oh Gods, Really? You Were Probably Asleep Too!" Says Aegon. "Yep." Says Jon. "Well, Don't Worry, I'm Not Gonna Tell Dany Or Rhaenys." Says Aegon. "Thank You, What Else?" Asks Jon. "Well, Nothing Really, Just Send Arianne To My Chambers." Says Aegon As They Both Depart.

Aegon and Arianne Sat In Their Lavish Chambers, Well Aegon Did, Arianne Was In His Lap Biting and Kissing Up His Neck. "Ari? There Will Be Seven New Women In Our Bed Very Soon, You Better Be Willing To Share." Says Aegon, and Arianne Proceeds To Bite Hard Enough To Draw Blood. "Fucking Hell Ari!" Shouts Aegon Loud Enough To Get The Attention Of The Kingsguard. "Didn't Call For You Two." Says Aegon Through Gritted Teeth. Reluctantly The Kingsguard Close The Doors. "I Can Try and Share I Suppose." Says Arianne. "Good, Because If You Don't, Tye and Nym Won't Really Forgive You." Says Aegon, and Arianne Bites Him Hard Again, and Aegon Muffles His Protests Through Gritted Teeth.
