- POV Varys
"So eunuch what is so important that I am here and not fucking some whore?" I heard King Robert's loud voice and as I looked at him I saw that he was half drunk and well into his fourth cup of wine, even though it was the evening.
"It's the Targaryens, Your Grace I believe I have found them," I said and I could see how quickly the drunkenness was replaced with anger and hatred
"Where are they?" he asked, his voice full of hate and anger.
"In Volantis, Your Grace. For the past four years, Viserys Targaryen, his niece Rhaenys Targaryen, and his sister Visenya Targaryen have been living with the old bloods of Volantis inside the black walls," I answered what a surprise it was when I learned that she had survived
"So what are you waiting for!? Send some of your assassins and be done with those dragonspawn!" he roared and a few of the council members nodded as if it were the greatest idea Fools all of them I thought to myself
"Robert, I don't think that's a good idea right now, let alone possible," but thankfully Jon Arryn is not as great a fool as the others
"Lord Hand speaks the truth, Your Grace It's not possible to send assassins into the black walls of Volantis," I said for it's not possible to send any spies let alone an assassin
"What do you mean not possible? Speak plainly, eunuch," demanded the queen Gods If she would have been silent for one council meeting I would feed half of the city I prayed in my head
"We cannot send any assassins into the black walls my queen They won't allow anyone who isn't of their own kind," I answered her
"But they let the boy and his family live with them for years How?" she asked as if I would know that
"I don't know, Your Grace It was by chance that I found them in the first place," I said to the shock of many of the small council members
"What do you mean?" asked Jon Arryn with a confused look on his face
"The only reason that I found out they were in Volantis in the first place was because Prince Viserys has bought many houses inns, and lands in Volantis by force and the old bloods are sporting him to some extent ," I said to him as he frowned and realized the implications of such things
"But where did he get all the gold for it? Surely the old bloods would not be so kind to him and give him the gold for such endeavor unless" questioned the Master of Coin, Lord Braxston Baroson as his eyes widened in realization He is eighty years old but his age cannot match his mind Despite all of Robert's efforts in drawing the royal treasure he is still able to bring in more gold coins but even his assistants does little to satisfy Robert's hunger for tourney's
"Indeed my lord It appears that the missing half of the royal treasure was taken by Prince Viserys," I conformed his suspicion as the king exploded in anger
"So what are we to do? Huh let the dragonspawn get rich and strong enough to come back to Westeros?!" roared the king as he threw the cup at the walls
"We should send someone to represent us to the old bloods and demand their heads," said the queen a small smile on her face thinking she had just solved the problem
"I agree," said Jon Arryn, surprising both me and the queen
"But not demand We should offer them something in return," he said, and I nodded; at least he hasn't lost his mind.

"Do it then, and tell them if they don't send me their heads then I will be marching to their cursed city myself!"
"And call Stannis back here to take back his position on this council this is the last time he abandons this council!!," I roared as I walked out of the small council chamber.
- POV Viserys Targaryen
"Lēkia am flying! Like the dragons!"
"Indeed you are my little dragon now try to sleep in the sky," I said to Visenya as I ran around while holding her on top of my head trying to get her tired enough to sleep
Rhaenys was watching us somewhere close and was laughing as I was running around with Visenya keep saying faster and faster
at one point I remembered that I had a meeting with the council and stopped and got Visenya down from my head and she looked at me like I just tried to take her favorite toy and in a way I was
"Well my little dragon it appears that you need to sleep otherwise we won't be able to fly on the morrow," I said to Visenya as I kissed her cheeks as she nodded like a little queen accepting the favor of her favorite knight
"When will you be back from the meeting?" Rhaenys asked me as she walked to us and took Visenya's hand
"Not long less than two hours," I answered her as I kissed her head and walked away from her putting my cold face back on as prepared myself to listen to another boring council meeting
