“The Tyrells have stood against my family twice now out of pure ambition, there is more than enough reason to think that they will support anyone who offers to higher their position in life and I will not let to go unpunished.”, Relena insisted. At least the Martells had stood against her out of grieve and a craving for revenge, not just because they felt like it. “And our?”, she questioned, her eyebrows narrowing as she tilted hr head slightly. “Well anyway, I already thought you might say that, which could lead to a bit of an issue…”, she mumbled. “After the rebellion my father gave Dragonstone to my uncle, who has committed no crime, I cannot just forfeit his lands to the crown.”

Relena put a weak smile upon her lips, as her pale hand reached for the skirt of her dress, before walking towards the Small Council Chamber. “How well do you think they will take it?”, the queen asked after a short moment, her eyes turning towards Viserys.

“I am certain Lord Stark will be delighted, but I am not as sure about my grandfather.”

“When and if that time comes, they will be punished accordingly.” Viserys assured the young Queen and avoided her question on the words he’d left hanging. His face fell, his disappointment while clear, was unknown to why he’d feel it. He knew of her Uncle’s seat there and she was right as no crimes had been committed it would be harder to gain justification for the removal other then he just wanted it back. “Of course…” He said with a sigh, before following Relena towards the council room.

“Not well.” He replied “Your grandfather will surely wish to strangle me and than Lord Stark for advising such a thing. But he along with others will have to realize that I am not my father. There is no Mad King.” He walked past the doors and violet eyes looked onward at the small council as they appeared before his eyes once the guards opened the doors. Tywin had already settled into a glare at the sight of him, but the others seemed more receptive.

“Good evening My Lords. Sorry to interrupt, but we have some news that we’d like to share with you” He began, unsure of where this strange air of confidence was coming from. He thought Tywin would be enough to make him feel like a child and uncertain but not now. He wouldn’t allow being thought of as such. Tywin’s eyes shifted from the Targayren to his niece and that’s when VIserys expected the worst. “Relena has accepted my marriage proposal.”
