Aemon goes to sit in the chair on the other side of Maegor's desk and stares at his brother with hollow eyes. "I'm sure you have already had a report, concerning Azuria." He says gravely, to the top of his brother's head.
"I have." he replied coldly, not glancing up. "I had hoped you would not sicken me with your presence until you had tamed another."
///////////////////////// Lord Commander Brandon Snow, and Arenya Targaryen approach the King.
Maegor locked eyes with his Lord Commander, awaiting an explanation.

"I'm sorry to disappoint brother, but there is nothing that you can say or do that will be worse then what I have been telling myself since Azuria was slain, So bear with my filth for a little while at least. While there is a matter that I was told to bring to you, from the Queen." He says getting straight to the point and pulling out the document that Queen Rhaella had written up concerning making him Lord of Oldtown and putting it on Maegor's desk.

"You come to me with nothing and expect to be rewarded with the most coveted seat in the realm?" he asked, looking at the document with disgust. "Are you a dragon or a beggar?"

Maegor locked eyes with his Lord Commander, awaiting an explanation.
"Your Grace, as you know, we discussed testing Princess Arenya as to whether she had what it would take to serve as a Kingsguard. I can honestly say that I provided the most stringent challenge to her combat ability and to her morals and character which I could think to devise, and much to my surprise, she has succeeded. As such, I am honor bound to propose her to you for approval as the next Kingsguard. She has agreed to maintain herself in a manner that minimizes her feminine qualities so as to present the most traditional appearance practical, and to in all ways behave as a knight." Brandon said. Maegor had, in theory agreed to permit Arenya to try to be a kingsguard, but it was with the understanding that she would fail. Yet she had not failed. And so here they were. He crossed his hands in front of himself, and awaited his King's response. |

"I am a dragon." Aemon states plainly, "nor do I come asking anything, I did not expect for that nor did I ask for that." He says pointing to the document.

A flash of annoyance combined with a grimace to mar the king's features.
"You have my gratitude for not offering the surprise of this mummer's farce in the throne room, if for little else." he replied evenly, though his eyes betrayed his displeasure. "Very well, if my Lord Commander thinks her worthy, who am I to disagree? You accept full responsibility should she fail in her duties?"
"I am a dragon." Aemon states plainly, "nor do I come asking anything, I did not expect for that nor did I ask for that." He says pointing to the document. "Then prove it." Maegor replied. "Assuage my doubts and you will have your seat. Tame a new dragon and bring me a head worthy to sit a spike as your parting tribute as my Justice." |

"As I would for any other man under my command your grace," Brandon replied, his voice trailing off in a slight sigh, as he glanced at Arenya in a manner that suggested she had best not make him live to regret those words.

"Then teach her the words and commission her a cloak." Maegor begrudgingly allowed. "Besides protecting my life, which of the stipulations of the oath is the most important, Snow?"

She caught the Lord Commander's glance and nodded slightly. Arenya knew she would not shame him or her new post in life, but she also did knew her brother, this cold, unyielding, man before her.
Once the cloak donned her shoulders, she knew Maegor would put her to the test and a refusal to the King would only warrant her pain on both sides.
"This is what I wanted", she thought to herself,"too late to turn back now."

Aemon nods, "It will be done." He says standing to leave. " May I make a request on behalf of Benjen? I feel that it is time that I take him to the Dragonmount to see him tame a dragon."

"To defend your honor." Brandon replied without hesitation. "Wrong." Maegor snarled. "Try again, Snow." |

"To do as you command, Your Grace", she spoke firmly. It was a guess, not caring if it was right or wrong but she had the feeling he wanted her to speak.

"We thank you, your grace." Aemon states with a bow towards his brother, as he heads from the room.

Snow's back stiffened. "Perhaps your grace would prefer that I say to follow the King's orders? If so I do not agree. The duty to your life and honor is greater. If you issue an order that would harm your grace's safety or good name, I'm bound to advise you against it, even at the cost of my own life. "

" "That is correct, Lord Commander, but in your position you can advise the King. In my position, I can not do but what he asks of me." She looked at him,"that is my understanding. Please tell me if I am wrong then I will stand corrected." |

Snow looked at Arenya with eyes that could have lit her aflame, but did not say anything.

Brandon's look of annoyance seemed to give the king some satisfaction.
"And what if we commanded you to fall upon your own sword, Snow?" Maegor inquired, continuing to use the bastard surname. "Seeing as you have failed so completely at making our wishes a reality?"

"You two are dismissed." Maegor said, seemingly placated. "She will say the words before court on the 'morrow. Do not make me regret it, either of you."

"Yes your grace," Brandon said, looking at the Princess, "let us go" he told Arenya. He gave a bow, and turned sharply on his heel, and heading out of the chambers as rapidly as possible.

She gave her brother a long stare as he questioned the Lord Commander, using his surname. The king seemed annoyed and unhappy.
Her lilac eyes remained on her brother as he continued to speak before she followed closely behind the Lord Commander on her exit.

Daenya and her sister Rhaena arrived at the King's chambers. The younger princess wore breeches this day, a tunic and thin silk coat ontop.

Rhaena was also there, of course , wearing her usual garb of black breeches and a silk top, this time in a deep bottle green, that really brought out the purple in her eyes.
She stood next to her sister, waiting to be let in.
