Chapter 49

While soon time passed and 4 years went by without anyone noticing.

Rhaenyra grew more close to Rhaenys,Eragon and Eragon.While she also spoke about the prophesy to Daemon,who at first went into rage.But with Gandalf calming him down and talking to him about how Viserys views about everyone was controlled by Otto,who had made sure to paint Daemon in the worst way possible and some of it succeeded.

Rhaenyra during that time didn't know what to say Alicent gave birth to her half brother Aegon II Targaryen and it didn't take long for her to get pregnant again and give birth to baby girl named Helena.

Rhaenyra slightly pitied her,since Alicent was now just a baby making making machine.From what she had last heard she was pregnant again.

While this was mainly due to Viserys being heartbroken and him being comforted by Alicent leading to more such situations.

But this did cause the rift between Aemma and Viserys.Also she heard from Eragon how Otto Hightower was hinting about changing succession to Aegon,while her father didn't say anything and diverted the topic.Mainly because Viserys feels guilty about everything that happened and didn't want to change the succession regarding his daughter.It was his way of trying to make up to her.Which was not fully working.

Rhaenyra was told some one council members could already tell Otto was upset about this and many pretty much guessed Otto was eager to get his grandson on the throne.

While Otto tried a different method or the same method he used on Daemon which was again rumors,but it was easily dismissed from pointing Rhaenyra wasn't even at that location.

Also Otto made slight error and tried to pressure Viserys"My Lord now their is male heir we should change the succession?"

Viserys narrowed his eyes at Otto and asked"Otto,if I remember correctly it was you who suggested Daemon be taken from the line of succession and even pushed Rhaenyra to the be the heiress."

Otto:It was temporary measure,my lord.I know thr princess proved herself,but there never has been a women on the Iron Throne before."

Viserys glared at Otto and said"Then their will be one now."

Otto wanted to talk more about the laws of five kingdoms,but Eragon cut in"I know there the five kingdoms never had a women as queen and now with a male heir has the Hightower blood running through his veins,I can see why Sir Otto wants to change the line of succession again."

Otto frowned,while he was slightly nervous seeing Viserys was also not stepping back.While Eragon knew some are thinking about Aegon being the heir,so to cut this off now Eragon spoke" I have suggestion."

Otto wasn't sure about this,while Viserys leaned forward and knowing how good Eragon advice had been for him as Eragon continued"Why not give Aegon a chance same as Rhaenyra he will be tested and if he proves himself then we will change the line of succession."

Eragon made this decision after discussing it Galadriel,who foresaw that Aegon nor Aemond was King's material and both would cause more issues for Otto than solve it.

Otto was suprised hearing this,but a part of him was wary about this.Since Eragon was always against him,so this decision was not something he expected.But Otto was already at the losing end,so decided to take it.

Viserys didn't know what to say,but Eragon smiled and said"After this no one should say,we didn't give the prince a chance."

Otto was hopeful this would work and would recruit many maester to train Aegon.This would backfire in the worst way possible.
