The Great Council 2:
-[X]Look for your Mother: You swore you saw your mother here? She was with the Princess for a moment, before disappearing. But why was mother here, she should be on Dragonstone? Rolled:
D100 => 73
Your mother was always the same in your mind as you saw her in a red silk dress, caring for certain things that were always moving, and also looking at the nursery of the castle. She had seemingly taken command of the entire castle nursery and ran it to her standards, with hundreds of nurses and wet nurses running around and caring for the babies and toddlers that were running around. When she saw you, however, it seemed she had forgotten her duties immediately.
"Lucien!" She ran over to you, embracing you with a grip that rivals Daemons. And it was hard and it hurt. "Are you well?"
She then examined you and she saw how empty your eyes were, even filled with joy and happiness seeing her. She had seen that face and those eyes before from your father after he was saved by his crew and comrades from attacking pirates. And when he killed a man trying to kill him. "Oh by the gods." Her voice was near silent, but she remained strong, and loosened her grip, letting you move into the embrace.
You wept in her arms and she escorted you into a neighboring room, keeping your head hidden as you quietly sobbed into her dress. "Come on, I want you to meet someone."
You looked out and realized it was a private nursery, with a single large crib…made of Dragonbone?
She then knelt down to face you. "Meet your brothers." She smiled.
They were all small and sleeping. They felt safe.
"What are their names?" You signed.
Your mother smiled. "Aegon, Viserys, and Jaehaerys." She replied.
You stayed in the room for the rest of the day. You just wanted to be here… Be well. And be safe with them.
"Stay with them for a while Lucien… They will want to meet you." She said.
Reward: You have met your brothers.
Their safety made you feel safe. And gives you hope that things will get better for you.
--------------------------------------------
----[X]The Valemen's Wishes: Rhae was here, with the Valemen, and the twins. She was being pampered, yes, but the moment she saw you, she looked ready to throttle you. "You little shit! You need to think before you bloody act!" Rolled:
D100 => 46
Rhae and the twins were being pampered, and she was smiling. "There is the silent Dragon!" She proclaimed as she pointed at you, holding both girls in her arms. "Come now Lucien, let us sit."
You didn't really have a choice, but you did so with a small bow of your head. You then sat with her, as the Valemen looked at you, wishing to hear or just to look at the child that you were, with more bravery and ambition and sense.
But it was not to be. You were quiet. The Valemen congratulated you for your good work, some even mentioning that their first kills were pirates as well.
You quickly and silently excused yourself after that.
Reward: You met the Valemen, but with so many talking about their first kills and complimenting you on it… you left.
They did not like that.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---[X]The Realms Delight: The Princess Rhaenyra has come to you, to talk. And she did so in sign? Rolled:
D100 => 100
Wandering Around the castle to find a place where you wanted to be alone was not the only thing that you had on mind. Or rather, it wasn't a thought you shared alone. You ran into the princess while she came across the corner, barreling through her and both of you fell to the floor. She landed on top of you.
"Watch where you move you-" then she recognized you as you shook your head, rolling over and picking yourself, and looking at her.
She should have been the one watching herself, as she wasn't even looking at you when you both collided. "Lucien?" She said your name.
You gave a nod, confirming what she knew in the back of her mind. However, there were a lot of things going through her mind that it made you think she was trying to say something. Then she held out her hands and signed. "Sorry about that?"
She knew sign? The Westerosi sign you saw, and she was fumbling rather hard on the last few letters, but it was… strange to see someone other than your father or mother or Daemon do that.
It was heartwarming to see. "No, it's not." You replied. "It happens." There was a small chuckle from the Targaryen Princess, as she looked away.
"Are you trying to hide from the others as well?" She asked.
You nodded. "Valemen are Pricks." You signed, slowly so she could see the letters.
She rolled her eyes. "Reachmen are far worse than the Valemen." She said, giggling as she saw your smile. "Come on, the King's Tower is empty right now, The King isn't there right now, we can hide there."
You nodded and followed her, as she lead the way through the narrow halls and ruins of Harren the Black's final resting place.
----------------------------------------------
When you reached there she finally plopped onto the bed there, not caring if it was the King's. "Finally, something soft." She sniffed the bedsheets and let out a long exhale. "Everyone is sleeping on the ground, or in tents on skins and furs. There aren't enough rooms for everyone and I have to sleep in the royal tent." She scoffed. "A tent, when it is cold outside, can you believe it!"
You raised an eyebrow. Considering you didn't have a tent, you just slept on Grey Ghost, the Ground or, rarely, an inn. And those were not exactly comfortable as well. In fact, sleeping on a sleeping dragon was not a fun thing to do. Except if you rested on his wings… They were comfortable, and very warm when it got cold at night.
She looked at you, and you signed. "What?"
You really didn't have much to say, but you were just confused. "You are uncomfortable?"
"Yes? Aren't you?" She said as she sat up looking at you with confusion and whimsy.
"No." You replied, signing to her as she saw something move, but you forced her to look at you. "Sleeping on a Dragon is far more comfortable than the ground. And sometimes you need to be uncomfortable, otherwise you never really know what you have. And how much you can lose."
Your eyes softened at those words, but instead, you looked away. "What are you doing?" She asked.
You said nothing for the longest time, before saying a single word. "Hoping for something better."
The Princess stayed with you for a moment, before you turned to see the Old King.
Reward: Rhaenyra begins to understand the world around her, with a silent glimpse of something far beyond her knowledge.
But it has given her wisdom she would not gain for years. Sometimes, the world needs to be seen from a different perspective.
She thinks you're amazing, even if she did not say it to you.
---------------------------------------------------------------
--[X]The Old King's Rewards: The old King is going to reward you, in public, before the great council and the claimants arrive. He wants to make the Whole realm know your deeds and that of Lord Stark and Daemon. Rolled:
D100 => 92
Jaehaerys was standing at the door. "Rhaenyra." He said her name with firm authority. "Could you go back to your father? I wish to speak to Lucien. Alone."
She did as he asked before the Old King sat in his chair. He examined your eyes, before he looked away, almost in shame. "It is a shame that you had to kill at such a young age, because of me." He muttered. "I would have hoped that you would not be put into such a situation, or that Daemon could protect you from that horror."
He then placed a hand on your shoulder. "You've been through a lot, haven't you son?"
You nodded, and the Old King took a moment to do something. "I can't give your innocence back, and through your life, you will lose it more, because of the position you will be in. The position destiny has placed you in."
"But I can atone for mistakes I have made." He said. "Ask something of me, and I will reward you for it."
