Chapter 45

While Eragon was getting rid of stupid Maesters and doing some reports in Middle-earth's.An issue popped up,the question of successor came up and lets just say Daemon by laws of 5 Kingdoms was supposed to be the future King,but Otto denied it and compared Daemon to a second Maegor.

The situation slightly strained when Otto actually suggested Rhaenyra to the heiress and lets just Corlys was nor fully happy especially his wife Rhaenys was once again ignored for the Throne.

But the discussion was stopped by Otto for while,but Otto also moved up his game by pimping his own daughter to an Oldman like Viserys,who was mourning his sons death and add to the fact Aemma wasn't there only made the situation favorable to Otto.

Then he played a good trick with giving witness about Daemon celebrating Beolon's death.But the reality was he was also mourning his nephew,his words could be considered heartless:King and Council have long rued my position as next in line for the throne.But dream and pray as they all might, it seems I'm not so easily replaced. The gods give just as the gods take away.

This did break Viserys,but Daemon could have easily defended that by bringing his witnesses and showing that he was mourning too,while he did speak about his position of Heir,he never spoke about Heir for a Day.

Because Daemon could already tell Viserys had believed Otto instead of him and he bluntly told Viserys about the reality of his council.

Viserys was so angry that he removed Daemon from his position as Heir.

Eragon who learned about this quickly returned to Kingslanding.The moment he entered Viserys personal chamber,where Viserys was building his model of Valyria Eragon questioned"Viserys,what is that I here about Rhaenyra being chosen to be the heiress?"

Viserys sighed and replied"I thought you would be happy about this after all just like North,South will have it's first Queen."

Eragon frowned and thought"Did this fool know the backlash his decision would bring."

But breaking away from his thoughts he said" Viserys,this isn't the North many will question how Rhaenyra got the Throne and is she really capable?"

Viserys was now in dilemma and asked"Could we reduce the backlash ?"

while Eragon sighed and said"I have a proposal for this."

Viserys was now all ears and asked "What is it?"

Eragon explained"Prepare a test for Rhaenyra with some of main Lord coming here to test her,atleast this test would show she is capable for the Throne."

Viserys nodded understanding the announcement did slightly shock Otto,but the man quickly schooled his features.

4 Lord Knowlegeble from the North and 4 from the south were chosen for this test and Rhaenyra passed it with flying colors.

They were happy with what was achieved,while Otto now was slightly afraid he made an error by making Rhaenyra the heiress.Since he was planning to make his daughter to be queen,he wasn't sure if that would come to bloom and if it did Rhaenyra will have to be removed from play.

The the day was Heir's coronation came and all Lord were present in Throne room and Aemma also came to see her daughter.But she didn't look at Viserys at all.

Even Daemon was there even though he was angry at the Viserys,he wasn't going to be angry at his niece for this.

The announcer spoke up"Corlys of House Velaryon, Lord of the Tides and Master of Driftmark."

Corlys came forward and pledged his allegiance" I, Corlys Velaryon, Lord of the Tides and Master of Driftmark, promise to be faithful to King Viserys and his named heir, the Princess Rhaenyra. I pledge fealty to them and shall defend them against all enemies in good faith and without deceit.I swear this by the old gods and the new."

Then Hobert Hightower came forward and pledged"I, Lord Hobert Hightower, Beacon of the South, Defender of the Citadel, and Voice of Oldtown, promise to be faithful to King Viserys and his named heir, the Princess Rhaenyra. I pledge fealty to them and shall defend them against all enemies in good faith and without deceit. I swear this by the old gods and the new."

The Bartheon came forward"I, Boremund Baratheon... promise to be faithful to King Viserys..."

Then Viserys,who was on his throne and holding Blackfyre spoke up"I , Viserys Targaryen, first of his name... King of the Andals, and the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Five Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm, do hereby name... Rhaenyra Targaryen Princess of Dragonstone and heir to the Iron Throne."
