...............Discussions and Declarations

Aegon Sat His Aunt and Sister Before Him and Poured Them A Cup Of Wine Both. "We Are At An Impasse, House Tyrell Has Backed Us With Military Support and Coin Aplenty, But If We Hope To Prevent Another Rebellion, We Must Make At Least Two More Alliances, With Rebel Houses." Says Aegon. "What Are You Saying?" Asks Dany. "Both Of You Must Wed, Our Week Long Rest Here At Riverrun Is For Me To Ascertain The Suitability Of Lord Edmure As A Potential Husband For Both Of You." Says Aegon. "You Know Who I Want As My Husband Dear Brother." Says Rhaenys, Eyeing Him Hungrily. "It's Not Happening Rhae. It Can't." Says Aegon. "He's Right, If You Two Were To Wed, Robert Could Rise In Rebellion Once More, But If The Three Of Us Marry Into Houses Stark, Arryn, Or Lannister, We Corner Robert's Potential Allies." Says Dany Shrewdly. "Hmph." Says An Indignant Rhaenys. "Right Now, I'm Chiefly Considering You As Edmure's Match Dany." Says Aegon, Hoping To Soothe His Sister A Little. "I Suppose I Can Determine My Own Opinions While We're Here." Says Daenerys. "That's All I Ask, As For You Rhaenys, You Have To Make Your Peace With This, If We Were The Next Generation, Things Would Be Different. But We're Not, So Suck It Up, Make Your Peace With The Harsh Reality, and Prepare For One Of Three Husbands." Says Aegon. "Which One Of Three?" Asks Rhaenys. "It'll Either Be Robin Arryn, Robb Stark, Or Jamie Lannister. Now Let Us Go To The Feast Lord Edmure Has Prepared For Us." Says Aegon, Offering His Sister and Aunt His Arm, Which Dany Obliges, But Rhaenys Only Grudgingly Does.

Aegon Had Arrived With His Sister and Aunt and Quickly Put His Sister In The Charge Of Ser Barristan With An Order To Keep Her From Doing Anything Outlandish, Embarrassing, Or Foolhardy No Matter What. While He Sat His Aunt Opposite Lord Edmure, and Himself Next Edmure's Other Side Where Margaery Was Seated On Seat Over. "I'd Like To Propose A Toast, First To His Grace King Aegon For Coming To Riverrun, and Secondly, For The Mercy His Royal Father Showed The Riverlands After The Trident. So, Let Us Drink In Remembrance Of His Late Royal Father, King Rhaegar, May The Seven Grant Him His Rest." Says Edmure, As Aegon Raises His Own Cup In Toasting. "Now, I'd Like To Make A Toast, To The Son Aegon Has Planted In Me, and The Future King Of The Seven Kingdoms!" Says Margaery Causing Aegon To **** On His Wine and Cough Most Of It Up, Much To Rhaenys Amusement.

"Are You Certain?" Aegon Asks His Queen After Cleaning Himself Up A Bit. "Without A Doubt, I Haven't Bled For Four Weeks, and I Can Already Feel The Life Inside Me." Says Margaery. "Then We Must Raise A Toast Twofold, Firstly In Honor Of My Late Father, and Secondly For My Coming Child, May The Gods Grant Me A Son." Says Aegon As All Raise A Cup In Toasting.

After Her Little Declaration, Aegon Begins To Pay Extra Attention To His Queen Of Flowers. He Feels A New Sense Of Concern For Her, Enough That He Makes Up His Mind To Get Her A Sworn Sword Of Her Own. Not Bothering To Consider Who Right Now, Aegon Instead Proceeds To Turn His Attention To The Lord Of The Twins. "Excuse Me, I Must Speak With Lord Walder, Else He'll Take All Bloody Day When We Cross The Twins To Go North." Says Aegon. "True Enough Your Grace." Says Edmure, Before Returning To His Conversation With Daenerys. "Keep An Eye On My Sister." Aegon Tells His Bride.

"What Did You Want To See Me About?" Asks Walder's Old Voice. "I Want You To Understand That What I'm About To Tell You Is In No Way A Slight On Your Honor Or House, Intended Or Not. But I Plan To Construct A Great Castle Where The Three Forks Meet and Call It Ruby Rush. This Castle Shall Draw Inspiration From Riverrun and The Twins, and It Shall Go To The House Formed From The Union Of Hoster Blackwood and Catelyn Bracken, The Brackenwood's." Says Aegon. "You Mean To Give Our Tolls To Another?" Asks An Insulted Walder. "On The Contrary, What I Plan Is For The Heir Of House Brackenwood To Be Betrothed To A Frey, Joining Your Families. Together Your Houses Would Control The Crossing Of The Rivers, The Frey's Would Control The Crossings Of The North, and The Brackenwood's The Crossings Of The South. In Exchange For Supporting This, I Will Persuade House Tully To Give Greater Consideration To A Match With A Frey Girl. All I Ask, Is That Three Of Your Girls Becomes A Handmaiden To Margaery, Your Granddaughter Amarei, Also Called Gatehouse Ami and Her Sisters Walda and Marissa." Says Aegon, Pausing Briefly Before Looking Out Across The River. "I Need A Man Who Can Pull His Weight, I Wonder Whether His Name Is Walder Frey, and If I Can Trust Him To Keep His Part Quiet." Says Aegon Suggestively Before He Walks Back Into The Feast.
