283 Kings Landing

(Barristan Selmy POV)

The whole red keep was in shock when barely a month after his birth orys opened his eyes and they were discovered to be a very bright shade of purple only seen in those of the old blood of valyria,Barristian Selmy even more so considering the last time he saw such a pair of eyes was when he spoke to Prince Rhaegar during the battle of the trident before he was injured and the crown prince slain, standing guard outside the kings personal chamber it didn't take a maester to know that the king was angry no anger was an understatement considering the sounds coming from the chamber Robert was furious, if the sounds of a table been thrown into the wall wasn't proof enough the sight of the messenger that came bearing the news to his grace scurrying out of the room on all fours as he tried to get back to his feet in fear of the king turning the infamous baratheon temper on him was more than enough to let him know, the old knight was still immersed in his thoughts when the king marched out of the chamber in fury,with skill and grace born of long time experience guarding the royal family he slid towards the king back like a silent shadow as he accompanied the king on his march towards the queen's chamber.

Few minutes later with the king rage turning from a raging inferno to a lower burn, he observed that they had reached the queen's chamber with the presence of jaime lannister outside the doors, the king barged in ready to prehaps act like the former king aerys acted towards his lady wife but the laughter of the baby at the sight of him and the act of stretching his hands towards his father despite been held in his mother's firm grip quenched whatever vitriol he was about to spill looking at the king's face he knew that whatever rage the king had because of the child eyes had died down to nothing in the face of a child's pure joy and innocence with a last look at the king as he went to hold his child and his wife with tears in his kings eyes barristan selmy quietly shut the door to the chambers and stood outside with his fellow kingsguard with a light smile on his face.
