------------------------------------------
When Jon turned to Rhaegar, wanting to complain to him, he found Rhaegar looking at him begrudgingly. It was Jon's fault that Rhaegar got insulted in the middle. Plus, Rhaegar was trying to earn Edward's favor for the past one and a half years. But now, This cunt Jon was ruining everything.
Jon could not utter a single word and could only shut his mouth after seeing the angry look Rhaegar was giving him.
"Let's forget about this unpleasing memory, Lord Baratheon. I knew you did not mean something like that." Said Rhaegar trying to fix the situation. He was afraid that Edward would go back on his word. Rhaegar was feeling good in these two days after getting Edward's confirmation that he would work as Rhaegar's hand when he became the king.
"As I said, I would not care about some barking dog who seeks his owner's attention." Said Edward expressionlessly. He was still using his arrogant personality so his word would be as vicious as always. Rhaegar and Jon's expressions changed after hearing those words.
After taking a deep breath, Edward's red eyes went normal. He returned to his calm and collected self.
"Sorry for that, my prince. But when the anger took over me, I would say some unpleasant words. Maybe it is Baratheon's curse. 'Ours is the fury.' A funny motto, isn't it?" Said Edward while throwing the blame on Baratheon's bloodline.
As if understanding something, Rhaegar nodded his head. He had something about that before.
'No wonder there was such a change in personality. Does this thing happen to all the Baratheons? I had heard before about some incident with uncle Steffon. Maybe it had something with the Baratheon's bloodline.' Thought Rhaegar to himself as if understanding something significant when in fact, it was Edward's bluff from the start.
"It's not your fault, Lord Baratheon. It was Jon who did not show respect. Can you just explain what happened?" Said Rhaegar trying to lighten the mood. Although he found Edward's words earlier a little disrespectful, everyone could do the same in such a situation. Plus, it was his friend, Jon, who acted out of the line when he spoke.
Rhaegar was not going to lose Edward's talent for such a trivial matter. Rhaegar decided to have a real talk with Jon when they went back.
Edward looked at Rhaegar while showing a gentle smile. He practiced a lot to reveal such a smile. Although he was annoyed a little by Rhaegar's question, he still replied with a smile.
'Rhaegar, you motherfucker. You could have asked anyone in the field, but you have to ask me that, in order to show me who the boss is, right? I can't wait to smash that head of yours. I was thinking of hiding in the shadows and let Robert kill you himself, but I changed my mind. If I did not cut you little by little, I am going to chop my cock myself and replace it with a woman's pussy.' Thought Edward while still smiling at Rhaegar. He hated this attitude of Rhaegar, and whether Rhaegar did this purposely or not, Edward's hatred was over the top.
"I was only doing my job, my prince. During our match, the first round passed without any injury or anyone unhorsed as normal. When we were on our second round, I managed to break my lance against Ser Ronald's Armor. Unfortunately, a small shard of the lance escaped and reached Ser Ronald's neck. At once, I ordered a guard to call Maester Jones, but by the time Maester Jones came, it was already too late." Said Edward with his innocent smile. He started to get addicted to this act where he played the victim or the hero.
Edward could see the knowing and the understanding look on Rhaegar's face. Hearing Edward's explanation, and Maester Jones, confirming what Edward had said, Rhaegar could rest assured.
"So it was like that. Sorry for the inconvenience, Lord Baratheon. You really did all you could do." Said Rhaegar with his striking smile while sighing internally. Although he wanted to use Edward's talent, he was afraid that Edward really killed Ser Ronald on purpose as a way of revenge against his friend, Jon, and him.
But After hearing the whole story and the confirmation from multiple parties, it seemed that it was really an accident. Rhaegar could sigh in relief and could trust Edward for now. Rhaegar was afraid that Edward still had his wild ambitions from back then, and what Barristan Selmy said might be true. Rhaegar had just recruited Edward to his side and was not sure that was a sound decision.
But after everything cleared up, Rhaegar could rest assured, at least for now, and smile at Edward with a light heart.
"If this is all, I will see you again, Lord Edward. I still have a match after a while." Said Rhaegar as he wanted to excuse himself to his tent. He had to prepare for his next match.
"Sure thing, my prince. I would excuse myself and let you prepare." Said Edward with the gentlest smile that he could muster. Although he was mocking Rhaegar inside his heart, Rhaegar did not have to know that, did he?
Edward had already taken off his armor before the prince arrived. So he already marched to the outside of the tent. When he passed by Jon, he gave him a little mocking smile.
'Don't worry, little cunt. Your head would be the next. I will kill every possible heir to Griffen's Roost, at first, and send you their heads before making you a Eunuch. I would slaughter the rest of the Conningtons at the time of the Rebellion.' Thought Edward while giving Jon an amused smile. He really liked the little game he was playing right now. Edward hoped that his next opponents would be from the other three houses. He wanted to have a little fun.
After Jon saw Edward's mocking smile, he got angry at once and was sure that Edward was lying the whole time. Edward killed his cousin on purpose and was only pretending to be innocent in front of the prince.
Jon turned his gaze towards the prince as he wanted to tell him about Edward. He was sure that Rhaegar would listen to him as they were childhood friends after all.
After retreating to their tent and driving everyone out until only Jon and Rhaegar were there, Jon started talking.
"My prince, I am sure that he killed Ronald on purpose. I saw his smile when he left the tent, and I am sure he was only pretending to be innocent. I think we have to pun..." Said Jon, but he did not have the chance to complete his sentence as he was interrupted by Rhaegar.
