Chapter 56

So King Viserys called the council of Lords to finalize Rhaenyra's position as the heiress to the thrones. Among the people were Otto, Alicent, Aegon, and Aemond, also Helena was actually by Rhaeny and Laena's side rather than her own mother.

Also, it wasn't shocking to see Otto and his daughter looking stoic and giving fake smiles from time to time.

But Aegon was happy with the outcome and he never wanted the throne.

So Viserys in front of all the Lords questioned"So Rhaenyra do you accept your position as an heiress and future Queen of Five Kingdoms."

Rhaenyra sighed and answered, "I don't know father."

Visery was surprised and asked"Rhaenyra, what do you mean?"

Rhaenyra spoke up"I never wanted this position father, this was supposed to be my brother Baelon's."

Aemma who heard her late son's name cried, while Visery also was sad and he could understand what Rhaenyra was going through as he said"Rhaenyra, you earned this position and you are the perfect choice for the next Queen."

Viserys really meant it, he knew Rhaenyra being the queen would bring the alliance with Middle earth much stronger.

While this was happening, Otto and Allicent eyes lit up with hope especially thinking since Rhaenyra didn't want the throne Aegon could really succeed.But the two idiots forgot his disastrous results in the test and no matter how much they pleaded Visery would never choose Aegon, since the boy had proven himself to be. fool.

As Eragon spoke up"May I give a suggestion."

Viserys was slightly worried, but hearing Eragon he was hopeful that he would convince Rharnyra to take the throne.As Viserys nodded and Eragon said "We can let Rhaenyra rule for the next decade and let her decide if she wants to continue being the Queen or not,if she does want to then let her choose her successor.After all, there are candidates like Daemon and his son Jaehaerys, who is still and could take the test for the throne to prove himself."

Viserys was thoughtful, while he really wanted his daughter on the throne.He could tell this was a viable option and he also saw Allicent giving him a pleading look, but as a King, he could never choose Aegon who was unfit to rule.

Viserys making his decision got up took his crown from his head and walked up to his daughter and while crowing she spoke up"Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men. Lady of the Five Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm."

Otto and Allicent were in complete shock, while there were huge shouts and clapping for the Queen.This wasn't all as Viserys spoke "This decision may come as shocking to many,but I will say my health is failing and sooner or later,I will part from this realm and this is my final decision."

As he turned to Rhaenyra and added"If my daughter wishes,she can name her successor when the time comes."

This surprised every lord present,Otto was already angry at Rhaenyra being Queen so he spoke up"Your Majesty,this is a very unusual decision."

Viserys glared at Otto and cut in"My decsion is final."

The decision was made now only Viserys himself could change it.Which was unlikely as Viserys subtly eyed his brother Daemon, who gave small smile in return.

Otto frowned and anger was raging inside him, while the same was with Allicent who was glaring at Rhaenyra.

Otto thoughts flowed"Only way to get my blood on the throne is if Rhaenyra, Daemon and his children dies or I will have to start rebellion, but that will take time."

Otto knew killing Rhaenyra was almost impossible without making an enemy of Middle Earth and the North.But a rebellion also possible, but the question is will Middle Earth involve themselves in the war.

Then it clicked he only have to wait for Rhaenyra to step down and chose Daemon or his son.After that chances of Rhaenyra staying in Five Kingdoms was very small and if this proved right, then Otto could raise a rebellion and put Aegon or his son on the throne.

Otto with determination thought"I will make Aegon the king one way or another."
