Reputation // Daemon Targaryen // Viserys Targaryen

59. I Hate Him

Out of the woods // Ned Stark out now!

''Tell me you didnt fuck daemon.'' Davina demanded

''I didnt fuck daemon.'' Rhaenyra agreed

''You lying to me?''

''No.'' Rhaenyra answered immediately

''Good.'' Davina said flopping down

''You believe me?''

''Of course why would you lie to me?'' Davina countered closing her eyes she couldnt believe she was worried for even a second and Rhaenyra sat down next to her.

''Well...' Rhaenyra began a small smile on her face and Davina's face pinched. "I did kiss him or he kissed me. ''Rhaenyra admitted and davinas eyes peeled open. ''It happened very fast and well ended very fast as well.'' Rhaenyra informed her

''Oh.'' It was more a release of breath than a word. Davina couldn't form words right now, her heart and her brain were malfunctioning. Daemon kissed Rhaenyra. He kissed her. He. Kissed. Her. Davinas heart hurt a hand went to her chest daemon didnt control her anymore. He didnt. But fuck if he did. Fuck.

'What happened last night?' Davina whispered

'What do you mean?'

'What happened?' Davina hissed trying to keep her voice even.

'Oh, I...' Rhaenyra couldn't help but chuckle. 'I haven't seen Daemon in years."

"For good reason." Davina murmured.

"He took me into the city for some fun.' Rhaenyra offered innocently.

'Tell me the whole of it, Rhaenyra.' Davina demanded

'I drank wine. Left the castle after dark.' Rhaenyra told her. "I'm sorry."

"Daemon certainly knows no limit.' Davina hissed. "You have been accused of vile acts your reputation tainted your claims and your... tell me everything." Davina said softly.

"Okay, we... we drank in a tavern. Several... taverns.' Rhaenyra admitted 'It was getting late... and I asked to go home. But Daemon wished to continue. As he was my escort, I had no real choice.' Rhaenyra lied.

"Continue" Davina shouted she felt her eyes buldging out of her head '... in a brоthеl?'

'He took me to a show. I... I was only a spectator. I didn't do anything.' Rhaenyra assured 'And then Daemon sank into his cups and, uh... he kissed me and then he abandoned me for some whοre. I should've known better.'

'It was foolish of you to place yourself in a position where your virtue could even come into question. Viserys has strived to find you a good match. And I have tried to protect you from bad matches Rhaenyra. If that lord were to think that you had been... sullied... it would ruin everything for you.' Davina reminded her.

'I know... Your Grace. I regret it.' Rhaenyra regret nothing.

"No you don't." Davina remarked running a hand over her head, kneading her fingers into her forehead. "You liked the thrill of it all, because you are more like me than viserys will admit."

'The King demands an audience, my Prince.'

'Take your fսcking hands off me.' Daemon demanded as he was grabbed he grumbled the whole way to the throne room where he was thrown down. Daemon heard the door slam shut and Viserys shoes slapping aggressively against the ground, he looked up to his brother from the floor.

'My daughter." Viserys shouted kicking daemon, he groaned from the ground in pain. 'Won't you even deny it?' Daemon coughed clearing his throat.

'I need to understand the charge before I can attempt to discredit it.' He said offering a charming smile.

'You defiled her.' Viserys shouted kicking him again, again Daemon groaned in pain clutching at his stomach.

'Still, you say nothing.' Viserys shouted down at him.

'Oh, what does it matter, brother? When we were Rhaenyra's age, we fսckеd our way through most of the brоthеls on the Street of Silk.' Daemon countered

'We were young men. She is just a girl. Your niece!'

'Rhaenyra's a woman-grown. Better her first experience be with me than some whοre.' Daemon mused

'You fսcking...' he kicked Daemon again 'You have ruined her! What lord will wed her now? In this condition?'

'Who gives a fսck what some lord thinks? You are the dragon. Your word is truth and law.' Daemon reminded him.

'I have spent a lifetime defending you. But your heart is even blacker than I thought. I should disinherit her as I already did you and be done with it.' Viserys spat and Daemon had a devilish thought.

'Wed her to me. When I offered up my crown, you said I could have anything. I want Rhaenyra. I'll take her as she is, and wed her in the tradition of our house.' Daemon offered and Viserys couldn't help but chuckle, he was not that stupid.

'You are already wed.' Viserys reminded him

'That didn't stop Aegon the Conqueror from taking a second wife.' Daemon offered

'You are no conqueror. You are a plague... sent to destroy me.'

'Give me Rhaenyra to take to wife and we will return the House of the Dragon to its proper glory.'

'Of course. It's not my daughter you lust for, is it? It's my throne." Viserys shouted. "You would really break Davina over and over again wouldn't you?" Viserys questioned and Daemon pursed his lips. "You don't even care that your actions hurt her. hurting me has always been your mission but to hurt Davina as you have." Viserys scoffed.

"Davina is not mine." Daemon reminded her.

"She is still your sister, have you no love for her at all?" Viserys countered and Daemon stared back at him defiantly. "Go back to the Vale, Daemon, to your lawful wife. Strive to restore whatever scrap of honor remains in you. Or don't. Matters not to me. As long as you are gone from my sight for good.'

'As you wish, brother.' Daemon said getting up and heading out.

"He said... Allow me to marry Rhaenyra."

''He didn't.'' Davina hissed. Viserys gave a tight nod as davina sat down crossing one leg over the other and took a composing breath.

''I hate him I hate him I hate him I hate him I hate him I hate him I hate him I hate him I hate him-'' she must have said hate a thousand times in a single minute. ''Arghhh'' she swung her fists around uselessly. She stood up sat back down stood up again and collapsed into the bed face first and screamed into the bedding she felt a hand on her back and she rolled over the most pathetic look on her face.

''I hate him.'' She whispered

''No you dont. Trust me life would be easier if you did.'' Viserys told her gently. Davina nodded

''It really would.'' She agreed before rolling over and screaming into her pillow.
