Chapter 2 - chapter 2 the weight of decisions

POV - Viserys Targaryen

Can you do it, Maester? If you can, do it;

 if not,

 find me a Maester who can.

I said to the maester I could feel Rhaenys's hand tighten around mine. I know she will hate me for it, gods I know, but if there's nothing we can do to save Mother, then I'll save the babe. Mother would want the same thing.

My prince, are you sure? if I do the procedure today, there's no guarantee of the babe's survival said the maester.

 And if you do nothing, both of them will be dead.

I said in my voice louder than usual.

Do it, maester, just do it.

The old maester finally agreed to it and went to mother's chamber.

 For more than an hour I waited there. Rhaenys had fallen asleep in my lap. I couldn't wake her up, not when she had suffered so much.

Her brother my nephew poor Aegon, not even one nameday old; they killed him so cruelly.

And Elia, gods, Elia, how could anyone be so cruel towards her? She was but a glorified hostage in my cruel father's court.

And now my mother the only one that was able to keep her company and make her laugh even in these cruel times she would make us laugh and now I ordered a man to open her up like a pig 

gods anyone who listen to me

I beg of you let the babe survive

Just then I heard a babe's Loud crying

The crying was loud enough to wake rhaenys up in my lap she rose up like there was no tomorrow I would have laughed if not for all the cruelty she we'll suffer when she sees mother

So I scooped her up give her to a maid to take her to her chambers and asked ser william darry guard her for there is no one else to trust her to other then him the man was loyal enough to help me to swipe rhaenys with liya poor girl didn't deserve to die like that

But gods forgive me i would do it all over again

Viss i don't want to sleep I went to see muna

rhaenys's voice pulled me out of my thoughts

I locked at her innocent eyes poor child Doesn't know

How cruel this cursed world is 

I kneeled so that she could see my face You should sleep ray muna well be saddened if you don't get enough sleep I said with trembling voice

And on the morro we will going to have an exciting journey full of adventure

I could see her face light up in excitement and she nodded so fast I was worried she might break her neck

I nodded towards the maid who scooped her up and took her to her chambers ser william following them closely Then I knocked on the door to my mother's chamber

 a maid opened the door slowly making a sound similar to that of my father's cruel and loud laughter mocking me even in death

There I see her my mother No longer smiling only a pained expression can be seen on her face 

oh gods what have I done blood was everywhere on the floor on the bed on the maid oh gods what have I done gods

My prince My prince

The old maester's voice pulled my attention away from all the blood

The babe my prince the babe the maester's voice was somewhat happy?

What of the babe maester?

I asked my voice cold as the ice stones of the wall

My heart was pounding so fast I thought it would explode in my chest gods please say the babe survived gods please say that I didn't let you open my mother's belly for nothing I repeatd these words in my head

The babe survived my prince it's a miracle she has a two strong and healthy lungs said the old maester

And gods the old man's voice could not have been more beautiful than any other song and lady I heard in my life yet it was the most beautiful voice i have heard my life

Thank you maester I said my voice softer than usual

The maester offered me the babe no not the babe my sister visenya Targaryen I said my voice soft as a maiden as I carried my sister
