Ser Authur Dayne walked up to Viserys as he was about to take him away, when Viserys said something that shocked him. 

"Ser Authur, i want you to kill those fire mages, before they kill the innocents." Viserys said in low voce being careful not be heard by anyone, specially not by his father.

He looked at the Sword of Morning, expecting some answer.

Ser Authur was shocked to hear such words coming from the little prince mouth, but he was hesitant as he looked at his majesty then at the fire mages.

"I-i can't your highness, his majesty has already issued his order."

Viserys know that Authur loyalty lies to the king and his command, but he shook his head as he thought. 'It seems like i need to give him a little push.'

"Ser Authur, if the fire mages succeed in the mission, it will be a disaster for all the common flocks, we will become the reason for their hatred, their sorrow and their pain, throughout the history we will be known as monster's or merciless, do you want to be remember like that."

Authur was startled, hesitant before loyalty or doing what is right, he knows that what he is about to do will affect thousands of life's, whether they live or die. 

Viserys seeing the hesitation, said with a coolly "Ser Authur, right now my father is not in his right state of mind, but i as a prince and the "heir" i am commanding you to kill those fire mages for the sake of the kingslanding."

Ser Authur eyes now held convection and no bit of hesitation, he looked directly at Viserys as he saw a shadow of Rhaegar. 'Just like him...' with this he seems to have made up his mind, he nodded his head silently.

Then step aside as he slip away with a few soldier's, Viserys looked at the man back before he walked up to Ser Willem Darry the man who was the master in arms of the Red keep, he was talking with a few soldiers to strengthen the city walls.

Viserys seeing the soldiers leave, walked forwards and whisper in a low voice low.

"Ser Willem, i need you to take Elina, my brother's wife, and her children, my nephews and niece. Help them escape with us."

Willem Darry the master-at-arms at the Red Keep, he has trained many soldiers and knight's and he is also one of the knight's loyal to House Targaryen. Viserys knows that it was him in the original timeline, the one and only knight that was loyal to the house Targaryen.

Darry hesitated as he spoke. "My prince, but the King—" 

"Would burn them as quickly as he would to the rest," Viserys cut in not letting the knight speak, he know the importance of Elina, 'Because she is the key for the negotiations with house **Martell** ' 

Viserys eyes shine with cold intent as he looked Ser Willem, "Do as I say Ser Willem Darry."

The knight swallowed hard as he looked at the King who seems to be now mumbling something over and over again, he then looked at Viserys as he whisper slowly.

"My prince it will be hard, because the king has stained soldiers outside their chambers."

'As if i don't know.' Viserys couldn't help but scoff internally, he then thought for a bit before saying, "Then convince those soldiers with something and if that didn't work.... **kill them**," 

'So cold!' Willems eyes widen as he looked at the young prince.

Viserys however didn't care as he continued. "But make sure Elina and her children's are escorted safely, i can't let my sister-in-law, my nephews and niece to die."

'So that's the reason.' Willems didn't know why but he saw a sprit of Viserys older brother Rhaegar on him.

The knight looked at prince with a respectful gaze as he was touched by such words, he nodded his head, before moving out of the throne room.

Viserys turned to his brother's body, that now lay on the ground, a few soldiers were wrapping him, in a fine white cloth. Rhaegar's face has now become pale as white sheet.

'It seems like the fate wants you dead no matter how much i try to safe you.' thought Viserys as he looked at the body of his brother, then he looked at the soldiers presents.

"Burn his body," Viserys said without much emotion in his voice. "And make sure his funeral is taken care off properly."

The solider hearing the command quickly started moving, as they pick up the body of the fallen Prince and move somewhere else.

Viserys give one last look to his father before moving out of the throne room.

'This guy is a lost case.'

Before leaving for the underground tunnels. Viserys strode to the King's chambers hoping to find something worthy after all their has to be something in the kings chambers.

'In some of the reddit forms, it was said that Aerys II has some good thing with him, but they were hidden in his room.' but Viserys didn't know if that was true or not, so he was their to check it out.

Soon he reach the room, he saw that their were no guards presents which made his way easy, he then enter the room and their he saw the mess of his father has created.

The air inside the room was stale. The room a ruin of overturned goblets, half-burned scrolls, and rotting food, their were even rats that were biting the rotting food, while some were licking the wine on the floor.

'Disgusting... but well what can i even expected from a "mad" father.'

He ignored all the chaos, as he move around the room, opening drawers and wardrobe hoping to find something that will be worth his time, but all be found were some useless scrolls, some figures of models, some red and blue veils which he decided to pocketed

Then as he was moving when he caught a sword hanging on the wall like a peace of decoration.

'A sword huh.' And Viserys found this sword to way to attractive, he then moved towards the swords as he drew steel black sword, their was also a dragon at the end of the handle with a big red gem stone, he also found a big sliver dagger. 

Their were something written on it.

He swing the sword for a few times before he put it on his waste, and the dagger too. He then looked at the room one last time before making his way out of the room, to meet his mother.

By the time he emerged out from the tunnels, his mother Rhaella was waiting for him, along with Elina, her daughter Rhaenys who was one year younger then Viserys was tightly holding her mother hands. Elina was holding the baby Aegon. 

"Are you hurt, my son?" Rhaella asked with concerns written in her voice. She scanned him all over for wounds or injuries.

"I am fine... mother" Viserys said, dismissing his mother concerns. He then glancing at Arthur Dayne, Gerold Hightower, Ser Vaemond Darry, Willem Danny, and the short army of soldiers that were presents.

They were all were gathered here, ready to move.

"The fire mages?" Viserys asked Arthur, as he looked at the tall men standing, their were some blood on his armor but from the looks of it, it wasn't his.

Arthur's voice was grim as he spoke "Killed every last one i was able to find, but a few still managed to escaped."

'Seriously this guy, wasn't able to do one fucking job properly.' Viserys thought a bit annoyed, but still he know that a few fire mages won't even be able to burn the whole kingslanding.

"Forget them, if fates wants, then their time will come too," Viserys said dismissing the fire mages, he then turned to Darry as he spoke. "Take the blackfire barrels as well. They will serve us better than Robert." 

Darry eyes widen as he looked at other's who has a dark look on their face's.

But still he nodded as he barked orders to the soldiers to move the barrels, into the carts.

Visery's seeing this thought for a while, before his got an idea, his eyes then landed at Ser Gerold Hightower, as he spoke.

"Ser Hightower, i want you to empty the treasury, every coin, every jewel and every artifact that is worth of keeping. Take some servants, some knights and a few soldiers along with you and then meet me at ships. Make sure that when Robert Baratheon will get here, he will have not even a single dragon coin, and after you are done meet me at the dragonstone." 

Gerold eyes were widen as he looked at the young prince before him, even he didn't thought about something like this, but this prince was already making sure to gave Robert a tough time, he gave a rare smile, it was thin and wolfish, as he bowed, and spoke "It shall be done your grace."

He then left with the servants and some knight's to make it done.

'His grace ?' thought Viserys a bit confused by the sudden term he was address, but he didn't said anything.

Viserys then looked at other soldiers as he was was about to say something when he felt someone touching his head, he looked up and saw his mother Rhaella touching his head. Her hands seems to be trembling lightly as she spoke. 

"You have grown a lot in these days, f-forgave your mother for not protecting you well."

'It's not your fault women, you were nothing but a side character in this "Games of Throne." ' thought Viserys's as he then held his mother hand as he spoke, some words that were to cringe but still he needs to say something so that his mother would stopped crying.

"Mother a Targaryen never shows weakness, after all we are dragons and dragons never show weakness you were the one who told me that." he spoke as he remember the words from Viserys memory. Rhaella used to tell him these words, whenever he used to cry.

Rhaella eyes started to get teary as he held Viserys in her embrace, Viserys while in her embrace looked at Elina, whose eyes were red from crying. It seems like she has come to know of her husband death.

'Well it seems like she is going to cry a river.' thought Viserys as he couldn't help but sigh, after all he has never lost someone important to him, so he didn't know what it like to feel.

His upbringing was very different from them, after all he was already orphan the movement he was born, and then sold off like some product to some rich family, where he was punching bag for the whole family.

Soon after the kingsguard were done with the works and then they all move in the middle of the night.

Crash——

Fully armed soldiers protecting the Elina on both sides, and the maids helped princess Elina who had difficulty walking onto the carriage was being helped by maids. She pulled her baby Aegon and Rhaenys closer to her, then pulled down the curtains and closed it tightly.

Viserys followed behind his mother Rhaella, preparing to board the second carriage, which was much more good looking then the one Elina was ridding on. 

"Everything is ready," spoke Ser Authur as he looked closed the carriage door. 

Sir William, who has now become the commander of the team, looked at the three kingsguard as they all nodded, then he spoke.

"Let's go"

Gurgle——

As the wheels rolled on the cobblestone road, the horse's hooves made a sound as they stepped lightly on the ground.

The knights held their weapons tightly in their hands, and a team escorted five carriages and hurriedly opened the gate.

Leaving the Red Fort and running into the distance.

Originally, the team escorting the Queens, Princes and Princess could take a ship from King's Landing and go directly to Dragonstone, but after Viserys saying that "That rote might be known by the enemy, after all who knows their might be some traitors in their ranks."

The three kingsguard hearing their prince words wore a dark expression on their faces after all they know what their prince meant by the traitors and after a careful consideration. Sir William who was the team leader finally chose to go by land to minimize the sea journey.

But then Viserys said that we should they all should split up, his idea was strongly refuse by his mother, Ser Authur and many more people, but when Viserys explain his reason they all become silent.

He said if they move in a group, then their location might be reveled and the enemy forces might catch up to them, but if they divided into two groups they might have a chance to divided the attention of the enemy.

Because his reason was right, So with Viserys idea, two of the kingsguard Ser Arthur Dayne and Ser Gerold Hightower, will take 1500 soldiers and four servants disguise as Royal family, to take them in another direction to make the enemy confuse, while the other team will be lead by Ser William and Ser Vaemond Darry along with 500 soldiers will move towards the hidden route known only to a few people.

The convoy set out from the Red Keep and crossed Aegon's High Hill, with heavily armed soldiers dispersing the chaotic crowds along the way.

There was no sign of the Targaryen family on the carriage, Viserys has told everyone too remove the banners, which will make it seems like they are just another noble family and with the curtains drawn, it was impossible to tell which noble was sitting inside.

"Get out of here!"

The soldiers urged their horses to disperse the pedestrians on the street, and swung the whips in their hands mercilessly.

SNAP!!

The noisy and chaotic crowd suddenly became orderly under the whip, and were driven to both sides of the road with screams and howls, making way for the convoy.

Queen Rhaella's and Viserys carriage was first to get out of the gate, followed closely by those of Elina and her children's, from their they all split they split up, with Viserys, and Elina carriage were moving towards the southern part.

Viserys fingers gently opened a little gap and he saw the scenery outside of the carriage. The carriage was surrounded by soldiers and was passing through the narrow streets. From here, looking up, he could see a hill in the distance overlooking King's Landing. The dragon's lair used by the Targaryen family to raise dragons was on it.

"That's the Rhaenys Hill over there." said Queen Rhaella's when she saw Viserys staring at the hill, She then continued on explaining about the story of the hill and who it was named after and why.

The ancestor of his Aegon the conqueror with his two sister. It was made for his second queen Rhaenys, which happened more than two hundred years ago.

This Rhaenys Hill was named by the queen's husband, Aegon Targaryen, in memory of his sister who died in battle. He also built a memorial temple. However, this temple was destroyed by riots in later years and was replaced by a dragon's lair.

'I already know all of this' thought Viserys as he remember the detail from the books and TV shows he watched, but still he listen to his mother after all she has now stopped crying.

The story of the dragon slayer has always been in biographical novels, so it is normal to have fantasies.

The wheels of the carriage kept rolling and making noises, and they were not far from leaving King's Landing.

'Hmm...the Mad king has not send any soldiers after us.' Thought Viserys as he narrow his eyes, it seemed that his father had tacitly agreed to let him take Rhaegal family away.

After all, The purpose his father holding Princess Elina and her children's as hostage in the Red Keep was to make sure that Drone would not betray the Throne, as long as he had someone more important. The drone would not attack the kingslanding like the other houses

'He's truly a Mad King.' thought Viserys, as he know that Drone would have not betray the king, after all why would they when their princess has marry the the first Prince, when they had an alliance.

Viserys felt much more relaxed, and he as he leaned back on the seat.

"What are you thinking child." asked his mother as she looked at him, she was really confused and concern that her child may be on some trauma, since just few days ago, she saw him jumping from the railing. After all even if he has shown his brilliance and his intelligence, he is still a 6 years old child.

Viserys looked at her then said calmly "Nothing just thinking if we had the Dragons maybe the situation would not have occur like now."

His mother looked at him with shocked gaze before letting out a helpless smile, before saying

"The last dragon has been dead for over a century, and maybe if we has then the outcome that, things..... might have changed." her voice contains a bitter and grim tone, after all she too hopped for dragons to come, because if the Targaryen family still had dragons, perhaps they would not have fallen into such a situation.
