Viserys sat and thought about what he was to do, the man that he trusted with his life had been poisoning him, his sweet rose basically saved his life and sat next to him supported his idea of putting his daughter as his heir even though she had never been treated kindly by her

he realized he needed to be stronger he needed to make decisions without someone whispering in his ear about what he should do but he knew that it was clear his brother could not continue to be his heir

"Your Grace," a knight said opening the doors and letting Rhaenyra walk in as the guard announced her arrival

"Father" she greeted walking down the stairs and bowing her head

"Balerion was the last living creature to have seen Old Valyrian before the doom its greatness and its flaws when you look at the dragons what do you see?" Viserys questioned his daughter looking at the models

"what?" Rhaenyra questioned confused "You have barely spoken a word to me" Rhaenyra continued

"Answer me this is important what do you see when you look at the dragons" Viserys interrupted her

"I suppose I see us" Rhaenyra answered "Tell me" Viserys urged her to continue

"Everyone says Targaryen are closer to gods than to men but they say that because of our dragons without out them, we are just like everyone else except we have the blood of a dragon in our veins," Rhaenyra said

" the idea that we control the dragons is an illusion they are a power man should never have trifled with. One that brought Valyria its doom if we don't mind our own histories, it will do the same for us. a Targaryen must understand that to be king ... or Queen. Viserys said looking at her as her head snapped up to him

"what?" Rhaenyra questioned not understanding her father

"Daemon is no longer fit to be my heir and you are my only child and I am hesitant to do this not because you are a woman but because of your recent actions if you are going to be my heir you can not be cruel, rude abusive to your subjects you can not use your station as an excuse to slack off of your duty and I will remarry one day and have other children and if I see that you are not the right person to be my heir I will name one of them do I make myself clear" Viserys responded sternly

"Remarry who would you marry the only people that would be an option would only want you for your title and what you could give them" Rhaenyra said obnoxiously

"I in fact already have someone in mind and I know with certainty she would not use me for my title nor for the title she would gain, and you will do well to remember my words if you do not change your attitude your action's you will be disinherited"

" someone in mind ......that little whore Rosalie isn't there's rumors about her being your whore how could you go for her she is nothing, and deserves nothing" she spat at him angry that the girl she hates might be placed in court and in the eye of the realms

"I know of all rumors and things said inside these walls, and non are about Rosalie being a whore and you will watch yourself when speaking of her," he said sternly

"Very well," she said glaring at the floor

"There is no trivial gesture, Rhaenyra a dragon saddle is one thing but the iron throne is the most dangerous in the realm" Viserys warned her

---------- the next morning-------

 Rosalie was walking around the gardens looking at all the flowers writing her observations down and sketches not paying attention to anything around her so she was startled when she heard someone call her

Rosalie was walking around the gardens looking at all the flowers writing her observations down and sketches not paying attention to anything around her so she was startled when she heard someone call her

"Rosalie" the king called for her after asking a few people where the girl might be

she turned and saw the king walking towards her "My king how are you feeling this beautiful morning" she said bowing her head softly

"I'm feeling well I wish to speak with you if you do not mind" Viserys answered smiling at her

"of course not I will always take a chance to speak with you" she replied blushing making him want to just kiss her with how beautiful she is

" I decided to name Rhaenyra my heir there will be rules she must follow in order to keep her status as my heir, and after her coronation, I will bring it to the council's attention on maester Mellos and Maester Juano treasonous action I wish to see how what they do while they think I do not know," he told her nervously

"Well I will be by your side the entire time my king, and I have no doubt if Rhaenyra will be an amazing queen if she is taught how to rule by you" she told him as they stopped walking

"You truly mean that Rose," he asked her loving how being around her was like he could breathe properly "I do my king I truly do" she reassured him before she could continue a guard interrupted them "your grace, my lady, your father has requested your presence my lady for breakfast he wished to dine with you and you sister" the guard told him

" Oh very well I'm sorry" she went to tell the king "Do not fret my dear go enjoy your meal with your family" he assured her walking off smiling
