(Aegor's POV)
It didn't take long for me to find the man responsible. Using my resources and my people, I was able to find him still in Westeros. A member of the Sealord's crew, who was growing careless and was doing as he pleased. He went ahead and murdered a member of House Celtigar, thinking it was going to be overlooked.
I had no clue why Lord Celtigar and Uncle didn't do anything about it. They had said something about peace with Bravoos and its Sealord, but I didn't care. I had found him in White Harbor, drinking amongst a few of his friends. Without saying anything, I had my men take him as they cut down the ones who tried to resist.
He was struggling at first but after a few blows to the face and throat, he was rendered unconscious. From there, it was a short ride back to King's Landing where I had Daemon waiting for me at the beach. Otto Hightower was there as well, acting as the proper witness for this ordeal.
Then, after bathing him in the Blackwater and constant "interrogation" from Daemon and I, the bastard confessed to murdering Lady Rhea's husband, which was more than enough for the Lord-Hand to confirm it to the King, who was probably asleep by that time.
Then, without wasting any time, Starfyre bathed the bastard in flames, killing him on the spot. We then gathered his ashes and remains and Daemon had it sent to Bravoos, as a warning to the Sealord. House Celtigar may be even lower than House Velaryon, but it was a fellow Valyrian House and Westerosi House. I was not going to let some foreign force do what it wants with my Uncle's subjects. An example had to be made.
Otto vouched for Daemon and I, even if Uncle was going to be angry at our response to this. It was extreme, yes, but it had to be done. Daemon and I agreed on this one thing; if we are to be soft, just anyone can walk over House Targaryen. An attack at any Noble House from outside Westeros is an attack on the Crown, something had to be done.
And something was done.
It didn't take long and it killed my boredom. It was safe to say that House Royce was going to be satisfied by this.
And right now, they were celebrating at a tavern, drinking. I found it odd that they were celebrating more than House Celtigar, but I guess that it was because Lady Rhea that was insulted. Her Husband was just recently murdered so they wanted to do something.
And now, they were drinking and laughing as Rhea and I were sitting on the table.
"I didn't think you'd go that far." Lady Rhea said as she held her cup in her hand, "To kill him in dragonfire."
"it was necessary." I drank from my cup, "If we had let this be, it would lead to them doing what they want with us. Your husband was a Celtigar, his murder had to be avenged."
"I see...." She gulped down the wine from her cup, "T-Thank you...."
"Don't worry about it." I said, "And you? You seem rather.....bothered."
"I am glad that my husband was avenged." She said softly, "But I wish I could have done something about it myself. And well..."
"What is it?" I asked as I poured more wine in her cup
She gulped down the wine without trouble, which surprised me, "Ah..." She said softly, "It's....nothing...."
I poured more, "No, go ahead." I said, "You can say what you mean to say."
"I am more.....disappointed that my husband and I..." She said softly, "That we could not make an heir...that is all...."
"I see." I said, "The two of you consummated right?"
She rubbed her temple, "Y-Yes...." She said, her words were almost slurred, "We did....but..."
"But what?" I asked with a raised eyebrow
"Nothing." She said softly, "I will have to wait until I am remarried....its just that....I wanted a child from him, that is all....but.....I...."
She drank from the cup, allowing herself to be taken in by the cups.
"You want a child that looks like him, right? A Celtigar...." I said, "Interesting."
"It's foolish to even say it out loud." She said before hiccupping, "I...well...."
I set my cup down and leaned closer to her ear, "I can help you with that."
She looked at me, her expression was that of confusion, "W-What?" She said, "H-How do you mean?"
I placed my hand on her thigh, "I think you know."
Her eyes widened, "Wait..." She said softly, "N-No, you mean....?"
I nodded, "Yes." I said, "I mean that."
She looked to the side, "That is wrong." She said, "Y-You are married and...."
"Shh....." I said as I rubbed her thigh, feeling her through her dress, "You want a child, don't you? Nobody has to know."
"But....." She said softly, "Prince Aegor, you are....."
I wrapped my arm around her waist, pulling her closer as she shifted nervously, "What do you say?" I asked, "Let's go to the beach, I know a certain spot where nobody will bother us. We have to act quickly, nobody will suspect if I grant your wish quickly. They will simply think that it is your late husband's....."
"You're speaking about me bearing a bastard....." She whispered as she pulled away, "That is wrong....and....."
"Hehe." I said as I pulled back, "I could consider it my payment, if I am being honest. I went to the trouble of bringing his murderer to justice."
"I appreciate that." She said, "But this.....this is wrong....what you're asking of me...."
I drank from my cup, "You want a child badly, don't you?" I asked her, "I can see it in your eyes. You really do."
She looked down, "What I want should not matter." She said softly, "What you're suggesting is wrong, My Prince. It could cause a serious scandal."
"Only if we keep quiet about it." I said with a slight smirk, placing my hand on the small of her back, "Isn't it tempting?"
"N-No.....we shouldn't." She said softly, "My honor...."
"It will be intact, worry not." I said as I stood up, giving her a note, "There are the directions to the location I mentioned. I will await there should you change your mind. And you best change it quickly."
"I don't intend to wait for long."
