Happy?
No
Aegon Felt Ashamed To Have Considered Throwing His Son Into The Sea, He Rescinded His Declaration Of Princess Aerea As His Heir and Named His Son Prince Aerean As The Prince Of Dragonstone. Regardless, Aegon Turned His Attentions To Tye and Nym, An Heir and A Daughter By Margaery, But Bastards By Bastards On The Way, Aegon Prayed They Gave Him Daughters, Because They Were Less Likely To Try To Fuck Up His Succession. Still, He Had Yet To Consummate His Relationship With Myrcella On Account Of Her Figure Being Less Suited To Childbearing. If Aegon Lost Another Queen, He Feared He'd Lose His Remaining Love and His Humanity. Aegon Had Commissioned A Painting Of The Battle Of The Trident, and Created Three Such Paintings:

It Captured The Unrelenting Will's Of The Two Would-Be Kings, But Left Doubt As To Who Would Lead Their Men To Victory. One Would Be Sent To Lord Robert, Another Would Be Sent To Dragonstone, While The Third Would Be Hung In The Small Council Chamber. Aegon Also Took To Hanging Portraits Of Past Kings In The Small Council Chamber, Both Worthy and Unworthy. By Their Sides Aegon Hung Portraits Of Their Queen's and Hands. When The Portraits Of King's Who Had More Than One Hand Came To Be Hung, Only The Most Effective Were Hung Beside Them. Where Multiple Queen's Were Involved, Only Those Who Birthed A Future King Or Survived To Become The Dowager Queen.
But Of Course, Aegon Had His Own Problems, As Did The Realm. Lord Commander Mormont Had Sent Word Of A Dangerously Higher Wildling Threat, and Aegon Decided To Give The Unsullied The Choice Of Serving At The Wall. He Had The Means To Create A New Army For House Targaryen, Making The Unsullied Redundant In The Process. Tourneys Were Being Held Across The Realm In Celebration Of The Birth Of His Children, and In Remembrance Of His Late Queen. Tourney's Were A Great Place To Look For Promising Recruits, and Varys Was Very Good At Spying On People. He Gave The Order, Find Worthy Warriors and Fighters To Serve The King's Cause No Matter How Disparate Or Problematic They May Appear To Be. The Tests Would Be Designed To Weed Out The Weak and Indoctrinate The Strong.
Aegon Would Only Accept The Best, and That Meant They Had To Be Trained By The Best, But **** To Earn Every Scrap Of Merit and Achievement. Once They Had, They Had To Continually Fight To Keep Their Place Of Merit and Achievement, To Keep The Dragon's Army Strong. One Man Could Achieve This, and That Man's Name Was Tywin Lannister. So Aegon Dismissed Willas Tyrell From The Position Of Hand and Appointed Lord Tywin To His Old Position.
How Quickly Does The Old Lion Arrive and Resume His Duties As Hand???
