"Prince Daemon?.. " I asked as the two approached me..

"You know me?.." the prince asked back..

"Well I'd be a pretty shitty 'noble' if I didn't even know one of the princes.. of the royal family I owe my gratitude to for the land I now own.. It's a pleasure to meet you.. and to meet this young lovely lady as well of course.. my name is Aethred.. pleasure making your acquaintances.." I tell the both of them..

"Ah yes.. true.. if you don't mind I wanted to get the story of the young 'foreign' noble that came into the city yesterday.. I would invite you to come to the 'Red-Keep.. maybe come meet my family I know they would love to hear some of your 'music'.. what say you?.." the 'Rogue-Prince said.. inviting me to the palace I think I'll take him up on the offer..

"That sounds like a splendid idea.. I was planning on buying some supplies for my farm and returning there today.. but it's not everyday you get a chance to make friends with an 'Royal-prince'.. let me inform my wives we will stay in the city for another night.. then I'll follow you two.. sounds good?.." I asked the two..

"Ofcourse my newest friend haha.. I can already tell we will get along just 'swimmingly'.. Viserys will love your music I know for sure.. Mysaria and I will wait for you outside.." Daemon informed me..

"Splendid I'll meet you outside then.." With that said I went to break the news to my wives.. then grabbed my lute and hollered for one of the servant boys to fetch my 'gallant' trusty steed Roach from the brothel's stables..

"My gods.. this has got to be the healthiest fucking horse I've ever seen.. where did you get such a stallion?.." my newest friend asked me..

"Mysaria.. Prince Daemon may I introduce to you.. my trusty partner who has followed me through hell and high-water.. Roach the 'steed'.. Roach.. this is Prince Daemon Targaryen my newest friend and his lover Mysaria.." I introduce them to each other..

"I would pay you for him to come to our royal horse-farms and stud some of our mares.. his blood would strengthen the bloodlines of the horses there for for sure.." Daemon said..

"Haha prince Im sure Roach wouldn't mind helping you out with that.. would ya boy?.. Roach loves 'mounting' and fucking all kinds of mares.. Im sure what you ask of him would sound like a dream job.." I informed him of Roach being equally horny as his master.. me..

"Hahaha is this true Roach?.." he asked my horse.. more than likely not expecting the horse to answer back..

To his suprise.. "Neigh.. Neigh.." said horse started neighing and shaking his head up and down as if to answer the prince's question..

"By the gods the fucking horse does love fucking mares.. and he can understand us.. holy shit thats amazing.. Roach you have my word my friend.. you come to 'Royal-pastures' and you can have your pick of the most of fine 'prized-mare' Cunny out of the whole bunch.. thats a Royal-promise my friend..".. Daemon informed Roach..

"neigh!.." to which the horse answered back at him in the same manner as he answered his last question..

"Haha Im pretty sure he said your a good man and a good prince.. thats high praise coming from Roach trust me." I said to the prince as we were nearing the gates of the keep..

***Throne Room***

"Viserys my grandson.. where is Daemon?.. is he in the keep?.." I ask my new 'heir' who will be forced to grow into a man and fast.. after his father my son Baelon passed due to a burst gut.. seven hells the gods are cruel..

"I believe Daemon has just returned.. he has been spotted bringing a young noble to the keep would you wish for me to 'fetch' him?.. 'grand-sire'?.." I hear my son ask me..

"Hmm thats different.. Daemon has never brought any friends home before.. yes Viserys.. send someone to bring them here..

I'd like to meet this foreign friend of my grandson.." I tell Viserys to bring them before me..

***After Fetching Daemon***

/povMC/

"Your grace.. I am Aethred.. of the 'Iceni'.. may I say what an honor it is meet the great 'concillator'.. I am a firm believer in laws being the very key of what it takes to make a kingdom truly powerful.. without law there is only chaos.. I have nothing but the utmost respect for you and all that you have accomplished.. I truly believe your reign will be what solidifies the House Targaryen's reign over these lands.. Not Aegons conquest.. or the dragons of your house.. no.. I believe the laws and the picture of a kingdom full of peace and order.. a kingdom ran on laws and logic not bloodshed and fear.." I let the king know I am indeed a stickler for the law..

"Pleasure to make your acquaintance.. Aethred.. I remember signing a land deed to an Aethred of the 'Iceni'.. anywho.. Im glad someone finally understands what I am trying to accomplish before I pass the throne.. without laws we are nothing but instruments meant for causing chaos.. yes we have dragons who will burn our enemies and the entire lands they call home.. but where does that leave us..?" Jaehaerys said pretty sadly.. thought i could cheer him up..

"They will understand.. instead of ruling a burned and desolate land filled of death and pestilence.. due to your work.. your children and their children's children.. they will get to have a strong healthy land to rule over for many of years.." I tried to stroke the man's ego.. something every man likes to hear.. other men boasting of their greatness.. it always feels good when people talk about how much of a 'bad-ass' you are..

"You truly believe this young man?.." the old man asked weakly almost as if he himself didn't believe it..

"Its not that I believe it.. it's the fact that I know it is a fact.. not something we can change by worrying if it is indeed true or not.. laws.. are what makes man seperate from beasts.. it's what makes us more than beasts.. strong laws are the only way for a kingdom to truly survive the test of the changing of dynasty's.. it may not be while your still breathing.. but they will understand in the future.. and I'm sure you will then be known as an even more important historical pillar holding up the castle that is the Targaryen family.. did you know that in Valyria before the 'doom'.. dragons were loved by the 'peasantry' not feared at all?.. the word 'dragon' is a translation for a language that does not have spoken words meaning 'keeper-of-laws'.. dragonlord or not no one broke the law in 'Old-Valyria'.. besides for keeping the peace.. dragons were not intended for war when they were first created.. not at all they couldnt even breathe fire.. they were just flying winged-lizards that were bigger than hills.. after generations of breeding and experimentation with different 'blood-magic' and cross-breeding with other species.. optimizing the dragons as generation after one and the other pass by.. eventually we went from flying our dragons around mountains with structures like large hoops or rings.. racing one another through the obstacle courses that would be the laps of flying around the said mountain..

competing not to harm one another but only for glory!.. true victory seperating you from the others.. making champions rise out of lesser men.. the dragons were for sport at first.. who could make the most difficult aeriel maneuvers and what not.. it was how the opposite sex was attracted in those days.. if you wanted to impress the prettiest 'damsel' of your side of your dragon-lord familys city.. you whistled your dragon to pick you up.. then you'd fly in long and 'wide-ranged' circles.. upside down while give the second prettiest 'damsel' a good dose of 'dragon-seed'.. and if you impressed her enough.. 'voila'.. you just bagged the pretties damn wench in all of the 'Free-Hold'.. cough.." I had to take my breath when I realized I had gotten lost in my 'spiel' again and started going off about dragon knowledge that I probably shouldn't have known.. hmm

"Sorry your 'grace' I have a certain passion.. a love so to say for Valyria of old.. what I was trying to say is laws is what made Valyria strong.. the dragons helped yes.. but laws.. it always starts with laws.. laws begets reforms.. reforms begets unity.. unity begets progress.. progress begets expansion and so on till the consildating of energies or forces of power.. fascinating.. sorry again for losing my composure 'sire'.. please forgive me for losing control of my tongue 'liege'.. said to the old man..

"No.. no matter.. my boy.. we are much alike.. much alike indeed.. but im curious Aethred of the 'Iceni'.. I can't help but notice you do indeed look to be of Valyria of old.. but I don't know you.. where have you come from son?.. do you mind telling me your story?.." I hear the old man fall into the trap.. he just bit the hook.. while he was swimming in the creek after I cast my rod.. with a hook on the line of some string with a worm on that 'mug'.. he nibbled it at first but once he tried to eat the worm.. bam!.. a flick of my wrists and the hook the worm was on.. 'penetrated' and hooked on his cheek through the inside of his mouth.. so I start reeling in my fishing rod right?.. he done messed around and got a hook in his cheek and I was reeling him in..

The wheels turning in my head whilst three 'editors' are having a 'fist-fight' upstairs in my brain..

"Fuck that.. make him a bastard of Aemon.." one of 'em saying as he does a spinning twist kick.. delivering the back of the heel of one of his feet.. straight to the tip of another one's chin.. concussing his foe making his foe's brain shake against the walls of his cranium.. just long enough for his other foot to come around on the same trajectory and path as the other one just came.. from delivering yet another 'concussing' blow..

Causing the third editor to say "man fuck this.. this ain't worth fighting over.. Im not getting 'double'd-spin' kicked.. or whatever the fuck I just witnessed.. fuck it let him be Aemon's bastard by a Stark girl!.. you stay the fuck away from me you spinning and kicking around alll over the place fuck.. fuck this im out.."..
