-Day 1 Morning, Mid 120 AC-
The entire court was silent, Urrigon could feel their stares on him.
"Who have I murdered uncle? What delusion has filled your head?", said Urrigon, he knew he was pushing it, but he had to not seem weak.
He could not let Daemon sour the King's mood by revealing things he should not know.
If he did Viserys would act, the man who could send Urrigon away with a simple wave.
To give the late Lord Lyonel the final laugh.
"Delusion? Was it delusion that killed Harwin?", said Daemon his smirk widening, "Was it delusion that his father soon followed him?".
"Nay, the former commander died while serving the realm to the best of his abilities, while his father, Seven see his soul, had a unfortunate accident, Harren's curse burning him and his companions to cinders".
Good riddance
Daemon lifted a brow, "Seven see his soul? Was not the saying 'Seven bless it?"
"I am no septon uncle, nor do I commune to the Seven directly, how could I ask for their blessing for another soul"said Urrigon as his eyes gleamed a certain light.
'Why would I bless such a wretched man such as he…'
Daemon mouthed moved to speak once again but was interrupted.
A massive roar came from above and all below felt its weight.
The whole courtyard did. The way the roar rattled there chest, shaking their bones.
Some looked to the skies while other covered their ears in pain.
So mighty was the roar that the Kingsguard sprang to action and unsheathed their blades, even if they knew they could do nothing with them.
For what could kill a dragon?
But Urrigon gazed at his Uncle, never letting him leave his sight.
Even if he felt the urge to look for the sound, he knew he would not find it.
For it was far above the clouds, its gigantic shadow covering them all.
His uncle's face changed, for a moment Urrigon thought he saw sorrow in his uncle's eyes.
"Laena…" whispered Daemon before the prince schooled his features.
A mask of put back in place.
When the roar ended, all still felt its effects.
Especially the sombre atmosphere it left.
Laena Velaryon death was clear to all, her dragon had made it known.
Surprisingly, it was his mother who broke the silence.
"Viserys, husband", the queen said voice meek, "The journey has been long and tiring, I am sure we can all agree it would be best for all of us to continue this inside".
'Where it is safe' was left unsaid.
The King jolted out of his daze, "My Queen is right Lord Corlys, how about we continue this inside your home? I am sure you are in agreement."
"... Of course, your grace", said Lord Corlys, "The servants will show the children where they will be staying while we discuss…important matters".
Viserys nodded before turning to his brother. Violet Eyes briefly looking at Urrigon who was next to him.
"Daemon, forgive that boy. I will make sure he receives proper punishment for such disresepct", said the King.
'So a man accuses your son of murder and it is my fault?', thought Urrigon.
He would have made his objections clear but before he could he felt his grandsire's eyes on him and remembered his words.
So he simply bowed his head.
His uncle Daemon on the other hand, sneered at King, "You can't be serious Viserys? You think a brat's words would have any hold on me?I was simply teasing him", he said as he slammed his hand down roughly, ruffled Urrigon's hair.
'Remember grandsire's words! Remember grandsire's words! Remember grandsire's words!", thought Urrigon as he clenched his jaw with eyes wide boring holes into his uncle skull.
"And even if it did Viserys, I would not need your help to correct it", said Daemon as he moved his hand from Urrigon's hair and walked past the King.
Not bothering to look at anyone else.
He simply walked to the two girls that he stood by earlier and said something that Urrigon could not hear. The two girls nodded and they left with him, walking to the castle.
As they walked away, one turned her head and stared at Urrigon.
When their sights met each others, she spun her head away and looked forward.
After Daemon's departure, the rest of the royal court followed the Sea Snake.
Urrigon would have walked alongside them as well if he did not feel that it would bring the King's ire.
It didn't help the fact that Aegon was bouncing towards him.
"URRIG!", shouted Aegon as his arms wrapped around his brother, "You have no idea how I missed you!"
"Aeg, it has only been a handful of days since we last saw each other", said Urrigon as he hugged his brother back.
"And what horrible days they were! Do you know how stiff everyone around here is!?" , said Aegon as he released his brother before pointing at Helena and Armond."I had to deal with them by myself!"
"That's not nice Aegon", said Helena as she approached them, "It is not our fault that mother had us relay her message".
She didn't bother to look at Urrigon.
Urrigon raised a brow before looking at Aemond who was next to Helena,"A message?"
Aemond nodded his head, his face filled with barely concealed glee, "Mother told us to relay a message to Lord Corlys and Lady Rhaenys, that Aegon could not handle his cups and would spoil everything if had any".
He cackled furthur before continuing, "His been grumpy ever since, if he was not pouting he was complaining about you not being here brother".
"And you twats did not have to tell them that! Now the Velaryon's think Iess of me" , said Aegon as he threw an arm around Urrigon's shoulders while grinning, clenching his fist, "But now with you here Urig, maybe I can sneak a few drinks!"
"Wait", asked Aegon as he raised his head up at him in surprise, "Did You get even taller?"
"A head taller, it seems " ,muttered Urrigon his brows furrowing.
Lyonel letter still on his mind.
Urrigon felt a tug on his sleeve and looked down, Daeron had a frown on his face," Are you okay big brother?"
"Why would I not be?"said Urrigon, he looked around and saw all his siblings staring at him.
Helena not included,her eyes of the sea behind them.
His brother gave disbelieving looks, they didn't seem to believe him.
"You sure brother?", said Aegon, his voiced filled with concern, "That waste of a Uncle can be quite annoying".
"Did something happen between you to?", asked Urrigon.
"No", said Aemond shaking his head then sighing, "He is just a prick".
Helena nodded in agreement.
"I should feed him to Sunfyre one of these days…",muttered Aegon as he scratched his chin with his free hand.
"And have mother scream about us becoming Kinslayers?", said Urrigon walking forward,his siblings alongside with him.
"It is a price I am willing to pay for such dissrepesct towards my favourite brother", said Aegon before he turned his head and raised a brow, "Wait us?"
"Of course Aeg, do you really think I'll let you deal with that alone?",scoffed Urrigon, "You're horrible with a blade and Sunfyre is to innocent to waste such flames on him".
"Kinslaying is bad!"said Daeron but he had a smile on his face,"But he was mean to Urrig…So I should help!"
It seemed that his little brother had a negative impression of Daemon as well.
To have his sweet brother join in their plans of murder...
'Then again, Mother said he would murder us all in our sleep if he could when we were young' , thought Urrigon as he ruffled Daeron's silver gold hair.
"You help us?" ,said Aegon smiling in disbelief," You are still scared of the dark Daeron, by the Seven, I even bet you snuck into Urrigon's room while you were sailing since mother still seems to be in one of her moods".
"Nuh Uh! Grandpa Otto thinks I'm a man grown, he even sent me to call for Urrigon!"
"You fell asleep on top of me before you could relay it", said Urrigon as he pulled Daeron in a headlock and twisted his knuckle on his head.
"I said that I was sorry!", cried Daeron as he fought to escape the hold.
A few Servants were waiting for them as they approached,no doubt to show them their rooms so Urrigon let his lazy brother free.
Aegon laughed at Daeron while waving a hand to the servants, "I'll show my siblings myself", he said while dismissing them.
They entered the castle, with Aegon leading them to their rooms.
Once they arrived, Aegon showed them their rooms, Urrigon's the closest to his.
"Now dearest brother" , said Aegon as he threw himself onto Urrigon's bed, making himself comfortable,"Are you sure you are fine?"
Aemond sat on the nearest chair, "Aeg is right Urrig, You looked quite angry back there".
Urrigon was surprised, had he shown such an expression?
How shameful! He felt his ears begining to burn red, he would give the Seven his thanks for his long hair that hid it.
"Yes Lēkia", whispered Helena as she laid on the bed right next to Aegon, "You had Daeron worried"
"It wasn't just me Urig" said Daeron,now holding his hand," Everyone thought you would attack him!"
"Is this true, Aeg?", Urrigon knew that his brother would be honest with him.
"Daeron's right", said Aegon while shifting away from Helena who was staring at his profile, "You should have seen Mother's face, if looks could kill…", he stopped as if contemplating something, "I even bet if mother gave the order, Ser Rickard and Ser Cole would have eagerly obliged".
"Yes, if it wasn't for that roar"said Helena, as she moved herself closer to Aegon still staring at him.
Urrigon could tell that his brother was getting uncomfortable.
"Yes VHAGAR!", screamed Aemond as he jumped out his seat, "Did you all hear it! That power!That weight! THAT GIRTH" he ran around the room in excitement, stars in his eyes.
"It was HORRIBLE!", Daeron said while hugging the side of Urrigon, "Big brother I was so scared!"
"Shut up you twat! It was AWESOME!", Aemon clearly would not let any Vhagar disrespect happen under his watch.
"Don't tell me to shut up, you ass!", said Daeron before covering his mouth, tears filled his eyes,"I said a bad word..", he put his face on the side of Urrigon's green tunic, "Now I will become a drunkard loser like Aegon…", he said as he cried.
"You little shit!" , Aegon raised himself from the bed only for him to feel a weight on his arm, Helena was holding it and Urrigon could tell that she would not let go.
"There there Daeron", said Urrigon as he patted Daeron's head."If saying one bad word would make you like Aeg, we wouldn't have a realm to live in".
"Even you Urig? Clearly that ship has messed with you're head", said Aegon before turning his head to Helena "And let go of my arm you leech! You've been like this the whole time!"
Helena shook her head and only held tighter.
Aemond laughed while pointing at Aegon, "That's what you get for leaving us behind to chase skirts!"
"Chasing skirts ?" asked Urrigon disappointment in his voice.
It seemed Alys was right...
Aegon looked at his brothers disappointed face and was quick to defend himself, "You have to believe me Urig! They threw themselves at me, these velaryon women left me no choice!"
Daeron popped his head from Urigon's back, "Will I also chase the skirts Urig?"
"As if you could, scardy cat" , said Aemond before folding his arms and putting a hand on his chin, "Now lets talk about Vhagar…"
Daeron did not let such insults lie for he threw his shoe at Aemond's face, a loud SMACK with it.
Chaos ensued.
Aemond lifted the chair and threw it at Daeron.
Urrigon who was in front of Daeron, side stepped it while his hand combed through his hair, he felt a headache growing.
Daeron and Aemond threw whatever wasn't pinned down in the room at each other, both brothers in a duel of death.
Aegon somehow started to wrestle with Helena to get her to release him and was somehow losing.
She was bashing his face with a pillow as Aegon tried to use the bed sheets as a shield, screaming for Urrigon's help.
Urrigon ignored him.
While his siblings fought and destroyed the room he was to sleep in a thought came into red prince's head.
'Why did this have to happen in my room?'
