Daemor frowned. "I tire of this."

"So do I." Oros muttered.

"If you mean to still act so shamelessly then why have you returned?" His father asked.

"Because you put a bounty on me." He replied, pulling out the wanted poster. "Now half of Essos will be looking for my pretty face."

Daemor looked back up from the page. "It was not my idea, it was Rhaegel's. He was the one that placed the bounty on your head."

Oros grunted and crumbled the poster. "Rhaegel that bastard...I should've known you'd never stood so low as to put a bounty to get me back."

"Indeed, but it is good that you came." Daemor said and turned around and walked towards the inner keep with the help of his dragonbone cane. "Quite a few nasty rumors have been spreading in the capital about your misadventures, and of your sister."

"Sister?" Oros asked. He walked behind Daemor and gestured for his two friends to follow.

"Saena. She has become the subject of rumors regarding your self-exile." The Lord replied. "They claim she was the reason for your sudden disappearance. That the thought of marrying her was so repulsive that you ran away to spend your time with lowly whores from all over the world."

That wasn't entire wrong...but it wasn't because of Saena herself. She was a fine sister, a young beauty with a kind heart. Oros just didn't want to follow his father's carefully laid our plan, to have his entire life controlled by the old man. "Where is Rhaegel then? I'd like to give him a piece of my mind."

"He's in Valyria now, where you should be." Daemor replied as they walked the halls of the Citadel.

Trego and Zoknal never saw so much gold in one place. The ceiling and walls were filled with it, even the carpets were embroidered with golden wool.

Don't remind me. Oros thought. He felt sick just thinking of it. As the second son of the family it was his duty to take their seat in the Senate and play at politics. Unlike most other Dragonlord Houses, the Aeksions' seat was too far away for the Lord to be a senator and the heir had a duty to learn how to rule from his father. So it always fell to a second son or a cousin to take up the seat in the Senate. Daemor had planned for Oros to marry Saena and take the seat of his father's late uncle that died 5 years ago. It was this that caused him to run. He didn't want to be tied down and stuck in the capital to play at politics for the rest of his life, it was just not in him. I'd rather die than be the Aeksion senator and live in that hellhole, Saena deserves better too.
