“A man posing as a noble to get close to you and anyone who would want to pay off to harm you.” He began to tell her as they made their way to the ‘safe room’ “That man thought I would help him.” There was clear disgust in his voice. “Help him in ruining peace.” Viserys was paranoid now, and everyone was now an enemy to him and could hurt Relena. He still held a protective grip on her, soon a few of her queensguard followed behind along with his own guard. “i wish it were as simple as manners.” Viserys had delt with slave masters, surely this would be easier then that. Just squash who was behind these plans and it would end.
“Lord Stark is going to your mother and Varys to see what their spies have heard.” He informed Relena, opening the door to the room and stationed his own guards outside and Relena’s inside by the door and led her to a nearby chair until his own mind led him back to the other guests. “Daenerys” He spoke under his breath, almost a whisper and he was caught between going out there to look for her and staying with Relena.
“She’s fine…She’s the Mother of Dragons. She’s with the Starks…With Lord Stark and the others.” He spoke to himsel, reassuring him that she would be fine, focusing his attention back on Relena. “Rel, do you need anything. Water, wine?” Viserys asked, already pouring himself a glass of wine and began drinking it, trying to calm his nerves. “Those who are planning this coupe will be dealt with accordingly.” He told Relena until his thoughts drifted back to Daenerys. “Something seemed off about the way he talked. Like he was trying to draw me closer as well like-” The threat of death loomed over him and Viserys froze. “Kill me and hurt you or worse…Get rid of any possible contenders to the throne and the queen and have what I can only assume they believe to be the true heir. Joffrey.” He couldn’t tell if it was his paranoia that was getting to him but he looked around the room, relieved that one of the Queensguard found a sword and handed it to him and Viserys made sure to sit near Relena once more as he grabbed the sword.
The news didn’t come as a shock to Relena, she had already expected the worst, what was shocking was the way everyone was acting especially Viserys. She didn’t want to make a scene while they were still in the hall, but as soon as she was ushered into a room, she took some distance to him. “I am not some child, who you or Lord Stark can make decisions for. I while I appreciate the worry, I will handle this on my own.” After all she was the queen and her father would have never let anyone else handle a situation like this, she was a woman, but that did not mean that she would stand by and allow men to decide for her.
“And just for the record, wine sounds like a horiibe idea in a momet like that.”, she warned him.
For a moment she watched the Targaryen ramble, not even half listening to what he said, before turning towards her guards. “Send Ser Barristan Selmy to protect the Queen of Meereen, right now, I will not have her harmed while she presides under my roof, if something happens to her, he will personally answer for that.”, the queen ordered, before turning to the other guard. “Send for the Lord Hand, he is to meet me here right now, furthermore I want the man in chains, on his knees in front of me.”, she commanded. As the man was about to leave the chamber, Relena’s gaze fell upon the silver haired man once more. “And call the Feaster, just in case we need him.”, she added.
Upon hearing him mentioned Joffrey, the young queen narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms in front of her chest. “You need to calm down. You were a king in Yunkai, were you not? Our lives are always at stake, but we cannot act in such a way, not matter how close to death we come. We are royalty, we are calm and serene.”, the raven hair girl reminded him, the words slowly leaving her lips.
“No matter how hard it is, we must be above these matters.”
Relena’s heart was heavily beating within her chest, but she could not show fear, she was to face the man that tried to kill her and she wouldn’t let him, or anyone else win. She was a daughter of Storm’s End, the Queen of Westeros and she didn’t cower in fear.
Relena had remained so calm when here he was, not remaining calm. He heard her commands, breathing a sigh of relief at the mention of Daenerys. Her words towards him caused him to glare at her. “Yes I was. But..” It was here that he realized that he generally had his dragon and more then a kingsguard around him. “I was. But I also had my dragon closer to me.” He told her swiftly feeling calmed by her words and again noticing her similarities to Daenerys.
“You’re right. I’m a King.” He echoed, setting the goblet down and relaxed his grip on the sword. “I just don’t want anything to happen to Dany…” Viserys sat straighter in the chair and he tried to keep his thoughts at bay. “Or you.” He whispered the last part, his eyes almost unable to look at her, surprising himself at just all what he was feeling right now besides fear and paranoia.
It took a while but once everything was set in place, the man was bound in chains and brought to the Queen and Viserys stared at the man, waiting for him to make a wrong move, his sword hand on the hilt of the sword and he managed to pull himself together like he would back in Yunkai and as he would by Relena’s side. He wouldn’t give him the satisfaction of standing, but rather what he was doing, kneeling. Lord Eddard had brought the man to Relena. “You kneel before her Grace, Relena of House Baratheon and Lannsiter.
First of her Name, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Lady of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm, charged with treason and attempted murder” Viserys stated trying to remind himself he was a King and he felt like he was back there, back in charge. Kingly once more.
