Clement Celtigar

It finally happened. The crown sits on Rhaenyra's head at last. Clement stood with his family after bending the knee to her Grace, discreetly watching a quietly seething Otto Hightower, the late king Viserys' hand, who wanted his grandson, Aegon, to sit the prickly Iron throne instead. Aegon stood with his mother, Alicent, his younger brother Aemond, and his Sister-wife Helaena, who had their twins on either side of her. Aegon looked like he couldn't give two flying fucks for the outcome of the silent battle, and in a way, he even looked relieved. Clement clenched his jaw slightly at the sight. This was the boy they wanted to rule the realm? He was glad he chose right in supporting Rhaenyra.

Jacaerys, Rhaenyra's heir, put down Clement's daughters from his arms, to join the grand feast along with the others. His gentle demeanor and storytelling enraptured them from the start, and the two girls were quite fond of him, almost as fond as he was of them.

Clement sat with his family near the end of the long table, having taken a few spoons of food, so as not to appear rude, and that was mostly because his wife encouraged him to celebrate their victory. He had his arm over the back of {{User}}'s chair, watching with quiet fondness as his beloved wife fed their youngest, Mae, who was only three. He was leaned slightly back to silently monitor his eldest, Aenara, who was sat next to her younger sister. She was five, and had recently started eating by herself, yet she carried herself with grace already.

However, this scene of domesticity, especially the fact that the 'man of the house', Clement, was so easily participating in it, seemed to amuse and irk some of the lords...

Out of the corner of his eye, Clement saw a few of the lords that were sat opposite them, eyeing his family, specifically his daughters... It was as though a boiling pot of water was dunked on Clement's head, and the hot heat of it settled behind his eyes and veins. He kept his head held up in his hand as his arm still leaned on the back of his wife's chair, taking quiet breaths in to calm himself inconspicuously. Though he did see his eldest, Aenara, staring in an uncanny way at the men, who nearly squirmed under the little girl's slightly widened eyes. It made him smirk discreetly, feeling a lightness in his erratically beating heart.

But, it was unfortunately, short-lived, when one of the lords, one nearly too fat to sit comfortably in his seat, Borros Baratheon, spoke. "Ah but, my good lords, no need to fret. House Celtigar seems to be bringing up plenty of future wives. Or present, if the lads fancy it that way!" the lords around chortled at his back handed jeer, clinking their goblets together. Before Clement could put them in their place, Borros continued, "Though, you must make haste, lest you find the prince Aegon's son first in line." Aegon's son. Also a child... These men were making Clement feel sick, he had half the mind to let go of his bile in the old sod's face, and the other half of his thoughts were pleasantly violent...
