(Third Person POV)
Inside the council room, the members of the small council sat as Viserys I Targaryen was sitting down. It was a few days until the King's Tourney, held in celebration to his second child's birth, whom Viserys was sure was to be a boy, his Heir.
"Where is Daemon?" King Viserys asked as he looked across the table.
Viserys had heard of some rumors that Prince Daemon, his younger brother, had been in the capital. He was sure they were true considering the Rogue Prince's love for attention and the tourney was a great way for him to show off.
"We do not know, your grace" Lyonel Strong said as Viserys glanced at him, "Last we heard, he was...at Dragonstone".
Viserys Frowned, "Dragonstone? what is he doing there? I thought he'd be at Runestone, with his Lady-Wife" He said, "that fool has never once invited me to see him, the boy. I understand that he was recently made commander of the City Watch but at the very least he should bring him here to show me".
Otto Hightower leaned forward, " Your Grace, while it is true that Prince Daemon did in fact consumate the marriage with Lady Rhea....he hasn't been at Runestone for quite some time, effectively leaving his wife and son abandoned..." He said, " I've head several tales that they came to an agreement that after the wedding".
Viserys looked at him with another frown, " What do you mean?"
"It seems your grace that the Prince and Lady Rhea agreed that the child will live with his mother until his 10'nth Name's day and...." Otto looked down.
Viserys looked at him as the other members of the Council leaned closer with interest.
"What?" Viserys said, "Out with it, Otto."
Otto cleared his throat, " with respect, your Grace" he said, " there are rumors and stories, that Lady Rhea had complications during child birth and is bedridden and it is rumored that..... she may not live that long."
Viserys stood up, "Why was I not made aware of this?!" He said with an angry tone. " Write to Runestone at once and enquire about well being of my nephew and my good-sister. For something like that to happen to her, I cannot accept it".
Otto nodded, " As you wish, Your Grace." He said as he stood up.
Lord Corlys Velaryon spoke up," With the outmost respect, Your Grace" He said, " I think it is prudent that Prince Daemon to be made aware of this unfortunate news".
Viserys looked at him, " You're right Lord Velaryon" he said, " Now..."
"Fetch me my Brother".

"What is it now, Brother?" Daemon said as he walked trough the doors of the council room where Viserys stood.
He was wearing his armor, covered in blood, as he nonchalantly walked. He gave ser Harrold Westerling a slight nod when he had walked in, the Lord-Commander of the Kingsgaurd Standing idly next to Viserys.
Viserys frowned, "what is this?" he gestured at his armor.
Otto walked inside, " Your Grace, there has been an incident in the streets" He said with a scowl while looking at Daemon, "Prince Daemon and his city guards have turned them upside down and have rounded up criminal after criminal to...discipline them. It was but a crude display of cruelty and violence.."
Daemon smiled as he stood there, " Hm" He said, "Ser Otto, you know i take my duties very serious. I am in charge of cleaning up my brother's city, am I not?"
" In you 'cleaning' " Otto replied, " You have left the streets soaked with blood and fear!"
"Otto." Viserys raised his hand.
Otto cleared his throat and nodded silently, composing himself.
Viserys walked up to Daemon as he gave him a serious look, "This....street business aside, I have troubling news to you, Brother".
Daemon looked at him, puzzled " what is it, Your Grace?".
" Lady Rhea has had complications during child birth and has been bedridden since then", Viserys said in sorrow. " I want you to fly to Runestone and Bring me my nephew here so i can finally meet him ".
