High Tide was lit by the brilliant flashes of lightning dancing in the sky, as her white walls were pelted with heavy rainfall. Within her walls, one could hear the screams of Princess Rhaenyra as she gave birth to another child, just over a year after the birth of Princess Alyssa.
Prince Jacaerys would be turning three within a few scarce months with Princess Alyssa's birthday following only 3 months later. Both were being cared for by their grandparents, Lord Corlys and Princess Rhaenys, as their father, Ser Laenor, supported her in the birthing room.
Unfortunately King Viserys, Queen Alicent and their children had stayed behind in the Red Keep, believing that Princess Rhaenyra would be able to return to give birth. But a storm had halted their ship, and the little one was quite excited to emerge during the storm.
Bouncing Alyssa in her arms, Rhaenys stood by the window and was witness to the spectacle as the sea calmed and the storm abated within moments, bringing forth the slightest hint of the sun. "Corlys," Rhaenys whispered, awed by the spectacle.
Her husband joined her, curious smto see what had his wife so shocked, only to be shocked as well. "The storm . . . I have never seen one stop so suddenly," Corlys admitted. Alyssa giggled, curling close to her grandmother peer over her shoulder.
Sat on the floor, Jacaerys stared back, smiling happily. "He's here," Jace said, climbing to his feet as Alyssa nodded.
"'Uke!" She cried in delight as the door was opened by a guard. The maid bowed, hair in complete dissaray and panting heavily.
"The Princess . . . the babe . . . a boy . . . both healthy," The maid gasped.
Rhaenys and Corlys stared at their grandchildren who were looking back at them expectantly. Genuinly confused as to how the children had known, they picked then up and carried then to the birthing room where they were greeted by a slightly frazzled looking Laenor, an exhausted Rhaenyra, and a babe swaddled in Velaryon blue-green silk cradled within his fathers arms.
Dmiling, Laenor held out his arms so the four could look, "Father, Mother. Alyssa, Jacaerys. I would like to introduce you to the future Lord of the Tides, the Heir to Driftmark and High Tide, Lucerys Velaryon, blessed by the storms and the tides themselves."
"What?" Rhaenys asked, eyes going wide as Laenor gently manuevered a little arm out of the swaddle, revealing a birthmark in the shape of Caraxes, the God of the Seas, Water, and Storms, mark. 4 stars facing the cardinal directions with a singular star in the center and ancient rune across the pale center of the star.
Corlys glanced down to Jacaerys, who hair barely hid his own crown shaped sigil with the rune for Justice upon the center and the runes for king on the sides, just as Rhaenys glanced to Alyssa, whose mark was weirwood branches along her collarbone that formed a circle at the hollow of her throat with rune for peace inside said circle alongside a feather and torch.
"Laenor," Rhaenys began, gaze sharp but worried. "Why do all three of your children have birthmarks in the shape of the sigils of Arrax, Tyraxes, and Caraxes?"
Two sets of eyes stared widely at her, nervous. Rhaenyra shifted, wincing at the pain as Laenor looled around the room so he wouldn't meet the eyes of his parents.
"Laenor."
Laenor's gaze snapped to Corlys at his tone, a fire gathering in their depths. "You forced us to seek out other methods for I to give Rhaenyra trueborn children. We found a method and now you have three heirs for grandchildren. That is all you need to know. I will be taking mt children now, they need to get to know their new brother, if you would excuse us."
His clear dismissal hurt but they put down his children and left, unsure of what to do, except send a letter to the King and his family to inform them of the new birth.
In King's Landing, within the Red Keep, Queen Alicent and her children were forced to listen to King Viserys read the letter aloud.
'Dear Cousin,
You will be most disappointed to hear that Rhaenyra was unable to give birth in the Red Keep, but she gave birth during one of the worst storms Driftmark has likely ever seen. When her son was born the sky calmed, the rain stopped, and the tides receded and everything was peaceful as if there had never been a storm in the first place.
We are delighted to send word of the birth of Prince Lucerys Velaryon, Heir to Driftmark, and future Lord of the Tides. Born with the Velaryon locks, eyes, and skin, we can only wait for his skills at sailing to emerge like his brother and sister's skills did.
Rhaenyra and the children are all doing well. She has spoke of the ease she has felt here on Driftmark and have told her that our home will always be open for her, no matter the circunstances. We are unsure of when she will return but it will likely be upon dragon back so I, Rhaenys, shall go as well so they don't have to carry two toddlers at once.
The Targaryen-Velaryon grows ever larger with the births of Prince Lucerys and the previous births of Lady Baela and Lady Rhaena.
Congratulations cousin on earning another grandchild.
Yours in blood, Princess Rhaenys Targaryen, Lord Velaryon'
The absolute joy the man expressed at the ketter had the Queen picking at her nails, even as her children just watched or ate, content to ignore their father as he did them. She hated Princess Rhaenyra for birthing yet another child with the Valyrian features, but she did not understand the tidings it brought.
Yet another blessed child to aid the Blacks and the future of House Targaryen.
Prince Lucerys Velaryon, Second of His Name, Heir to Driftmark, Future Lord of the Tides, Stormborn, Undrowned, the Sea Dragon, the Sailor, the Red Star, had been born.
Part two
Rhaenyra watched from the balconey as her sweet boy, her Lucerys, stood before the Cannibals large, scared muzzle, talking to him. She had forbidden him from flying until his new riding leathers had been made. He'd had complete control over what they looked like though and a part of her had ached when she saw the design he had sketched out for the leather worker, the blacksmith, and the tailor.
A dragonglass breastplate with a singular golden-white scale over his heart, with thick, dyed black leather straps. The leather, he'd requested, would have to be nearly three times thicker than any of the others riding leathers, padded with dyed rabbit fur. A thick black cloak that would almost completely hide what he wore underneath, with the inside made of soft, dyed, rabbit fur.
But the scariest part, to her, was the spine. Lucerys had left for the day and returned with the black bone spine of a dragonet and asked for it to be attached to his armor to protect his own, more delicate, spine.
She watched as her son was turned inside out from the death of Arrax and his subsequent claiming of the Cannibal, and her hatred for Aemond grew. If Lucerys hadn't have claimed his and Vhagar's death as his own her and Daemon would have done it. Well, if they made it their first.
Jacaerys had been furious, based on the letter he'd sent, as had Lord Cregan Stark, who swore to her and her sons. He had begged Rhaenyra, first as a son then as the Queens heir and finally as a brother, but she refused. She needed him in Winterfell to plan with Cregan.
But part of her wondered if she should send Lucerys to him. He and Jacaerys had always been close and maybe being together would help him heal over the loss of Arrax.
-------------
Lucerys packed light, since Cannibal had refused to allow a saddle to be placed on him. Only two extra sets of clothing, and some rations were placed in a rucksack for him to carry.
His riding leathers were pulled on last and he couldn't help but stare at himself in the mirror.
A black undershirt with a dragonclass breastplate, Arraxs singular scale resting above where his heart was. Black leather covered his legs, protecting the inside of his thighs and calves with fluffy black rabbit fur poking out. Turning he was able to see the black bone spine running down his back.
But it was all hidden beneath the thick, hooded black cloak.
He looked intimidating, especially with the singular white streak that had earned him the moniker, The Strangers Son, dead eyes, and pale skin.
Earlier that morning, the Queen, his mother, had ordered him to head to Winterfell to join Jacaerys and Lord Cregan Stark to begin preparing Starks Army to march.
Leaving his room Lucerys found Rhaena waiting for him, looking worried for him.
"Are you well prepped? Jacaerys mentioned before he left that it was a long journey. And quite difficult for dragons since they don't like the cold," Rhaena said, only to falter. "Though I guess Cannibal might handle it differently."
"He will. I think he likes the cold."
"Really? That's odd." Rhaena and he made it down to the courtyard where everyone was waiting to say goodbye.
Daemon pulled him into a hug and murmured into his ear, "Just send a letter and I can have the bastards other eye."
"Thank you, Kepa."
Joff, Aegon, and Viserys all threw themselves into Lukes arms, begging him not to leave but he soothed them and reminded them that it was his duty to their Queen.
Rhaenyra gentle wrapped him in her arms, trembling slightly. "Come back to me, my sweet Luke."
"I will, My Queen. I promise."
Baela hugged him tightly and asked him to pass a message along to Jace, which he promised he would and Rhaena hugged him tightly. Tighter than she had last time.
They all let out noises of shock and surlrise when they turned and found Cannibal half inside the courtyard, watching them with glowing green eyes. Lucerys climbed up the sharp spikes of his side and settled at the base of his neck, tugging on the thick padded gloves before holding on tight to the closest spikes.
"Soves!"
With barely a sound, Cannibal took off, disappearing into the clouds with ease.
Where is my Jacela wedding scene? I was told there was going to be a secret wedding, and as far as I can tell, I just got disappointed insteadđ
fuck everyone who is racist towards Bethany
Rhaenyraâs daughters when they find out who hurt her and whoâs currently at Dragonstone
[Based on the latest chapters from the Blacks & the Greens @sweetestpopcorn ]
â-The dragon doesnât become sick, Baela. Your motherâs illness has far happier a cause. Both you and your sister will know it after you are wed.
Baela looked at her uncle as if he was telling her a second pair of arms would sprout from her torso. Even Rhaena seemed to mislike his words and Aegon and Viserys were as confused as their sisters.â

Daemon will soon know not to mess with his children or they will steal away their mama XD
âShe is overly fond of boys. More than boys, however, Lady Baela loved to fly. Since first riding her dragon Moondancer into the sky not half a year past, she had flown every day, ranging freely to every part of Dragonstone and even across the sea to Driftmark.â
HAPPY NEW YEAR MY SWEETS đđđđđđđđđđđ
To anyone who's wondering, I'm still going to do my works, I'm just really busy with school and my C1 night courses of English to write better.
Sad girl in Westeros, Twilightzone and Pure light are still on don't worry babes, I will feed you when possible and when I organise my ideas
You know what I want to see, a pirate, or Arena fighter or dragonkeeper or any kind of 'man' job reader with yandere hotd, like I like the trope of reader being sweet and nice but that's overused, I NEED BADASS READER WHO CAN AND WILL FIGHT THE TARGARYENS FOR HER FREEDOM OR CAN KEEP UP WITH THEIR VIOLENT TENDENCIES. You feel me?
Days passed and reader continues to do her duties even away from her kingdom, her children following her from behind thinking she wasn't aware of their presences, which was untrue as she just pretended to not notice them, trying to keep her smile from being visible 'still my ducklings I see' she thought as she walks around the castle towards the library to try and see if there's any story about the woman from her dreams and visions who keeps haunting her.
"kids" she acknowledged them, surpring the three of them "..yes mother?" The boy said "go train with Ackley, he wants to check if you haven't forgotten your training in you time here" she said to them, smiling as shw saw the way they lit up at the mention of Ackley "he's here?!" The first girl said "yes dear, now go. I have some important matters to attend" she said but before she could finish her sentence the children were already halfway down the hall. She looked surprised for a moment before her expression softened and chuckled before entering the library, she walked towards the shelfs before a voice stopped her in her tracks "Blue?". She turned around and saw Baela "Baela...what are you doing here?" She asked confused and curious "I come here whenever I want some peace from the children and their antics. Sorry, I know you don't want to be called Blue unless close friends" she stated as she got up her chair and walked towards Reader, their height difference noticeable due to Reader being much taller "it's alright, you are my closest friend here in Westeros. Just don't let me catch you letting Jacaerys call me that" she jestered laughing a bit, Baela joining her in the laugh "alright. What are you doing here?" She repeated the question, remembering that Reader wasn't the fondest to books "I'm....can you keep a secret? Even from your husband?" She asked nervous and analysing her expression "of course, what's wrong?" Baela asked worried as she searched for any injuries or something else. And so, Reader explained everything that happened regarding the woman from her dreams and visions, from her childhood to now and shows her 'curse' "oh Blue... I'm sorry, I wish I could help" Baela said as shw gently touched Reader's arm, her expression one of worry and disappointment in herself for not being able to help her. Reader put her hand on Baela's "Bae, it's alright, your support is all I need from you and your loyalty in not telling anyone. The less people know, the better." She said to her in a soft and gentle tone "no one has to know. And...do me a favour" she said looking more serious., Baela, as soon as she saw her expression, hardened her stare too and nodded "of course, what do you need?", Reader, feeling hesitant thinks before answering her "...I know that 'she' is coming for me, I can feel her coming closer and closer...and when she will reach me, i will habe to fight her...I need to kill her... it's a high chance I will die doing so" she said before stopping, nor knowing how to phrase her next sentence. Baela looked at Reader in shock "I will help, I'll sent soldiers, anyo-" Reader interjected her train of thoughts "no Baela, what I need from you is to be the mother my children will need when I die, I know I'm asking a lot of you, but I trust that you will guide them to the right path...can you do that for me?" She asked, nervous of her answer, waiting for her response. Baela looked shocked and speechless before answering in a shaky tone but firm voice " if you die..if you die, I will continue raising them...for you .. anything for you" she with a soft smile before hugging reader, who looked shocked at the hug befor slowly reciprocating it. She pulls away and looked at Baela before a rockus was heard "you should go, your children need you" she said to her.
When Baela left reader goes back to the books, trying to find anything related to the woman
Before a headache came, a vision appeared, the woman was standing in front of dead soldiers and looking in her eyes, straight towards Reader's direction,not saying anything but only pointing her sword towards her.
She gasped as she held her head, breathing heavily as she tried to calm herself down and only one thing in her mind
'gods if I die, keep my children safe'
---------------------------------------------------
Baela was walking in the halls and sighed as she thinks of the conversation with Reader, only one that in her mind
'Gods, please keep her safe'
WOOOOO I did it, sorry for the long wait, school got me really busy now with oral tests and all, but here's the new chapter of Sad girl in Westeros
Announcement: I'm back to school so I unfortunately I will be busy but I will do my best to make new chapters for my fics and because I need to do this to keeymy mental state sane.
Reader was on Eclipse's back as she guides the dragon towards king's landing to see her children and scold them for their behaviour towards their half siblings. Behind her there was a ship where Ackley was, commanding the crewmates and glance up at her from time to time, as if he was trying to reassure himself that she was alright, as the 'curse' started to spread more on her arms and it forced her to wear gloves to not arise any suspiciouns.
When they finally arrived at King's Landing, as she was flying towards the Targaryen Castle, she could see the tiny frames of Jacaerys and Baela, who she hasn't seen in over a decade. She lands somewhere safe and waits for Ackley to arrive at the port and reach her on horseback. As she waits she gathers her things off Eclipse's back and lets the dragon fly to finally go and check of her own children, reader's children's dragons, as Eclipse also wanted to make sure the dragonlings didn't cause trouble on their stay at king's landing.
When Ackley finally arrived on a black stallion, he brought with him a white horse for reader, and also accompanied by a carriage for their baggage, where she immediately goes and put her things inside before saddling the white horse and instructing to go, so they can reach the castle.
Once they finally arrived, she could see more clearly the castle "mh, not much has changed since I last been here" she said to Ackley, who was checking the perimeter for any sort of danger "we must still be cautious, the place may have not changed much but the people here probably has" he said to her "I know, that's why I chose you to accompany me here" she reassured him with a smile as he seemed to have calmed down a little bit at the reassurance but still on guard. Soon they reached the castle gates as they open and she see Jacaerys and Baela waiting for her, she take a deep breath before getting off the horse, Ackley soon following her, and walked towards the king and queen "I received your letter, you seemed very distressed. I apologise on my children's behalf for the trouble they have caused you and your children" she said in formality as Ackley analysed them, weary of them and glaring a bit at Jacaerys but keeping it subtle.
"it is alright, we know it's hard to be in a new environment, we just want all of the children to get along" Baela said smiling at reader "it's good seeing you again after so long". At her words, reader just nods and give a polite smile "yes it has. I've been very busy in my own kingdom so it is hard to keep contact. Now if you excuse me, I shall go find my children andake them under the error of their ways" she said before nodding at Baela and giving a slight bow to Jacaerys, giving him one glance before walking inside the castle, Ackley soon following her, looking behind to glare at Jacaerys before looking forward to follow reader's steps "I do not like him, he was staring at you for too long" he said to her "must've been the surprise in seeing me after near a decade. I do not blame him. Ackley, go rest, it is an order. I'm going to find the children and then when you're rested you can see them, I'm sure they'll be delighted to see you again " she said looking at him in an authoritive but also worried expression, after all, he has planned the whole journey without an ounce of sleep.
He looked at her like he wants to protest but sighed and nods "alright. Bye friend" he said as he walked towards a chamber "have a good rest my friend" she said before walking towards the room the maids told her the children would be.
When she arrived she saw her three children trying to learn high Valaryan
"lyk...iri.. lyke.." hee boy was trying to pronounce and that's when she decide announce her presence "lykīri" she corrected him, surprising her children.
When they saw her they immediately closed their books and hugged her tightly "mother!" They said in union as they hugged her, she laughed and helds them close "my children. It's good to see you being alright. Though I can see you got Jacaerys's lack of learning a new language" she said as they groan and rolled their eyes "unfortunately we do" the first girl said and the other two nodded in agreement.
She laughed before falling in a serious look "I have gotten words that you are causing trouble to your half-siblings. Is it true?" She asked and the three of them looked at each other sheepishly and embarrassed "yes" they said defeated under their mother's stare "why?" She asked as he crossed her arms, feeling a bit disappointed in her children's behaviour "cause they're like a reminder of what Jacaerys did to you, how he always preferred Baela instead of you when you're a hundred times better than her" her boy said, feeling defensive towards his mother. She looked surprised at the words before sighing "I know you just wanted to do right by me but their children are not at fault for what Jacaerys did. And it has been years since it happened so I moved on a long time ago. And I'm not better than Baela, she's a great woman, in fact I used to fly on our dragons with her more than Jacaerys" she said smiling at the memories "really?" Her second girl said curious and surprised by such revelation "it is true. I had a great bond with Baela. So do not be angry at her, or at her children. The only one here truly at fault is Jacaerys but it's been years and if I can move on, I need you three to do the same. Because those children are also your half-siblings, whether you like it or not" she said calm but resolute to them. They looked at her for a while, reflecting on her words before nodding "I guess we should go apologies then" the boy said a bit hesitant but having given up trying to protect against it, he looked at his sisters and they both nodded. As they look at reader, she nodded and with a hilt of her head instructed them to go and apologize to their half-siblings.
When they finally left she looked around before hearing a voice behind her "thank you for talking to them...I didn't want any animosity between the children" Jacaerys said looking at her, wanting to step closer to look at her but restricting himself from doing so both out of respect for reader's personal space and for the guilt he was still feeling for what he did to her, even after all these years.
She looked at him and nodded politely "yes, I know that." She said as she closed the books her children were using and put them back in their place in the castle library. "Do you wish to have a walk in the garden or perhaps a tea?" He asked her, nervous for her answer. She stopped and looked like she wanted to maybe say yes but her exhaustion from the journey towards here caught up to her and she shook her head "I'm quite tired your grace, maybe after a bit of rest" she said with a polite smile before walking away, not waiting for an answer.
Jacaerys remained still there before getting called by one of the maids for another council meeting.
---------------------------------------------------
Reader finally arrived at her old chambers and laid down on the bed, only bothering to take off the extra protection for her flight on Eclipse's back and her boots. Keeping the gloves on in case someone enters the room while she rest. She got under the sheets and finally closed her eyes with one last thought before finally falling asleep
"..... let's just hope this stay doesn't stir any problems on the way"

Reader was dealing with some paperwork as she was walking around the castle, instructing the maids and waving off the knights, feeling stressed about the days as there were some problems with the small folks she has to deal with. After she signed the last paper and gave them to her messanger she went to her chambers to relax and closed and locked her door "do not let anyone in here" she instructed her knights as she closed it. She finally relaxed after took off the heavy weight, both mentally and physically, of her crown and sets it down along with her cloak. She sat on her bed, a thoughtful expression on her face as she looked at her arms and hands before taking off the gloves and showing her black veins, a bit more rised up than yesterday due to the stress. She sighed at the look of her arms and hands, feeling defeated and tired from not finding anything for this 'curse' she had for years. She clasped her hands and thinks of the first time they started appearing
---------------------------------------------------
She was six years old and was running around when she suddenly felt some sting in her fingers, but only thought of it as a bee sting of something and continues to play with her sister Kirsi. They were playing all day and the stings started to really hurt, and that's when she noticed a small shade of black and was confused as she doesn't remember eating anything that could have stained her fingers. She immediately went to her uncle Dedalus and let him look at it "mmm, I have never seen anything like this, I must search it up in our books" he said as he looks at her parents, who were worried for her, her mother holding her close while her father went to pick up Kirsi "please find some brother, we don't know what cit could do to our girl" her father said before he and his wife went to put the girls to bed.
As Reader was sleeping she found herself in a weird dream, a woman, who looks at her in disdain and anger walked towards her and watched her with her black scleras "who are you?" Reader asked as she was scared of the dark place and the woman in front of her "I am the one who will find you and kill you and your family for what your ancestors did to me, for exiling me. I will get my revenge on you and everyone else little girl" she said before giving a screeching scream scaring Reader who also screamed. She immediately woke up, drenched in sweat as she looked around, scared to see the woman again in her chamber and screamed as the door opened before relaxing again as it was just her mother "oh my sweet girl, what's wrong" she asked as she gently carassed reader's hair as she breaths heavily before crying in her mother's embrace "mama, there was a a woman and she was so scary...s-she said she'll k-kill me and our family!" She said as she grips her mother's clothes "oh, my sweet girl, she won't bother us anymore, it was just a nightmare, nothing less" her mother comforts her as she rocks reader and signs a lullaby to lure her to sleep again
Reader slowly fell back asleep as she leaned on her mother and got tucked in bed, thinking all of this was just a nightmare and she'll be fine.
---------------------------------------------------
She's now older and the nightmares continued, getting more gruesome and feeling more close each day. As she looked at her arms and hands she knew that woman put this 'curse' on her and sighs. She thought of her children and her need to keep them safe, even if it meant keeping them away from her. It pained her to keep all.of these secrets from them, to not let them worry too much and keeping them away from the danger no matter how much training she and her family gave them.
--------------------------------------------------
"mama, what are those?" Her boy asked as his sisters were playing outside and he was with her. Reader looked at her arms and hands and debated herself in revealing her secret to her child before looking at him and seeing his child innocent, unaware of the danger that lurked towards them and the danger it posed on their whole family. In that moment she promised herself to never tell them about the 'curse' and made up a lie, as much as she hates liars and lying "they're just some ink that I spilled while working on some paper sweet boy" she said with a soft smile, masking the guilt she felt for lying to her son. He nodded at her, believing it, and went outside to play with his sisters and cousins. She sighed as she watched them from a window "you need to tell me" Kirsi said, standing by the door and looking at her sister "I can't. I won't put this burden on them" she said turning towards her, looking determined to keep her vow "and when they start to get older and demand more answers, what would you? You can't keep lying to them sister" Kirsi said walking inside the chamber and towards her sister "I don't know, I'll think of something" she said sighing as she looked at her "what would you do when that woman will finally find us?" Kirsi asked feeling more tense and worried, and a bit frustrated in her sister "... I'll send them away, keep them out of danger" reader said looking at her sister, surprising her "...and what would you say? They will question why they are being sent away from their home" she said to her "I'll find something to say, I need to keep them safe. They're my whole world and I'd rather die than let her hurt my children" she said determined and turned towards the window "...you should be there now" she said to Kirsi, confusing her "why?" "Cause your child is about to jump from a tree to try and get in the lake" she said smirking as she watched her sister running out mumbling 'gods be damned, not again'.
She chuckled to herself and looked at the drawings of her children 'i'm going to do whatever it takes to protect them, cause that's what a mother does' she thought as she put the drawings in the stack she has specially for them.
---------------------------------------------------
Now she was wearing her night robe and looking determined, she settled her spear and bow and arrow by her bed for any attempts or whatnot and was about to lay on her bed, having snuff out the candles and put everything in order, but got interrupted by a raven on her window. She looked confused as she didn't expect anything today as she takes the letter and looked even more surprised by the letter coming from Jacaerys and Baela. As she read the letter she sighed in disappointment and resignement "of course those three couldn't go a day without causing problems and to their half-siblings of all" she mumbles as she continues to read the letter. As she finished the letter she sighed as she knew she had to go to King's Lynn and deal with them and their behaviour but suddenly she heard a noise outside and went towards the window to go and check it out. At first she didn't see anything until she saw a woman, that woman, in the woods looking at her and then leaving. She had wide eyes as shock and dread covered her up like a dark cloud hanging on her, before taking a deep breath and looking at the moon. She now had a determined look on her face
'Gods be dammed '
Fifth chapter whoo! Hope you all like it and keep taking care of yourselfs! (Edit it out cuz I got a better ending)
@aemondwhoresworld
A few weeks have passed and the triplets were still learning how to control their dragons better, and especially learning high Valaryan to give better commands to their beast. In their time at king's landing they have gotten close to Rhaenyra as they seemed to like her very much, often searching for her when they couldn't understand a word in high Valaryan, the only trait they got from their father is the issue with learning a new language.
Sometimes they talked with one another about their mother and how they miss her and their home
"ugh! When are we going home? I'm sick of this place" the boy said annoyed as he paces around his chambers
"we still have much to learn, brother, it will take time" the first girl said as she sat by the window "though we can make it for fun" she said with a smirk, intriguing her siblings as they looked at her with interest in their eyes "how about we have some fun with our siblings?" She said and the other two, understanding what she meant, smiling mischievously at the idea. During their stay, they have been pulling pranks and scares on their half-siblings, getting a laugh out at their scared look.
---------------------------------------------------
Reader was in her office, dealing with some paperwork as she set her crown down on the desk and pulled her cloak off, feeling relieved by the weight no longer on her shoulders. A knock came "come" she said looking at the door to see who the visitor was. "Ackley.. it's good to see you again" she said happy to see her old friend, who always harboured love for her but respected her decision to stay alone and helped her raise the triples whenever she was busy ruling her lands or she needed time for herself due to the stress.
"how are you feeling dear Blue?" He asked her as he walked over towards her, looking concerned as always "it is tiresome but I can handle it" she said smiling at him "I meant about your children being away?" He asked her with a soft smile of his own, holding her hand to comfort her "...I miss them. It is weird now that the castle is quiet...but I hope that they're learning well. Though...a mother still wish for her children to be with her even then though it's for they're good that they're away at Westeros" she said smiling and appreciating his comforting presence.
"let's just hope they're not causing too much trouble" he jested as he chuckled at his own joke. Reader laughed too, enjoying the joke "you know them, they will cause trouble. Let's hope not enough to cause issues later" she said to him before going back to the paperwork, getting some help from Ackley.
---------------------------------------------------
The girls were walking around the garderns as they were enjoying their walk, before stumbling upon their younger half-sister. The animosity between them was hight enough to cause tension in the air. Suddenly the half-sister fell inside a lake because she didn't notice a pebble and the girls laughed a little. "Stop laughing! Gods you two are insufferable!" The half-sister said as she stood up and walked away from the lake and from the girls "you got a frog on your dress!" The second girl said as she laughed and walked away to continue her walk., "and leaves on your head!" The first girl said as she followedbher sister.
---------------------------------------------------
All of Jacaerys and Baela's children were in one room complaining to their parents about the triplets
"last night they out a spider in my chambers!"
"they jump scared me when I was training with my dragon!"
"they put jelly in my hair products!"
"they laughed at me!"
Jacaerys and Baela were comforting their children, but Jacaerys was also busy thinking how to confront the triplets without causing more strain in their already distant relationship.
---------------------------------------------------
After hours of discussion and arguments between Baela and Jacaerys they finally agreed that they'll have to send a raven to reader because they knew that no matter what the children would not listen to than and probably cause more problems to instigate them and their kids.
As they went to sleep, only one thought was in their minds
'let's hope that reader answers fast'
@aemondwhoresworld
The triplets were looking at Jacaerys with immediate disdain in their eyes, but trying to keep it at bay as they remembered their mother's words to not engage in any conflict with them. Meanwhile, Jacaerys was looking at the three of them in shock and was also speechless as he never thought he would see them ever again after Reader left with them to go back home after their marriage got annuled. Behind Jacaerys were his five children from his remaining marriage with Baela, looking excited to meet their half siblings. The oldest of them stepped up and went towards the three of them, extended his hand "it is a pleasure to meet you" he said with a polite smile, masking his inner excitement, but soon it got shattered when the boy walked past him and hit his shoulder as he walks inside, mumbling curses. The girls looked at each children of Jacaerys and Baela's and then followed their brother inside the castle.
The children looked at each other confused and shocked by their hostility "rude" the oldest said as he and his siblings walked back inside for their duties.
Jacaerys, in the meantime, was still frozen in his place as he was processing that his three children from his former marriage with Reader are now in his home and with the rest of his family.
Soon it was time for dinner, the three of them walked on the halls towards the dining hall "I already hate this place, it stinks of horse's shit" the boy said as one of the girls, the second one, chuckled at his words and the other just shook her head with a hint of a smile, also amused by her brother's words "let's just learn fast so we can leave as soon as possible" she said as the other two nodded and entered the dining hall, where all the rest of Jacaerys's family was sitting, waiting for them. Let's just say that they didn't ate much cause they really wanted to be anywhere but there.
---------------------------------------------------
The next morning, all three woke up at the same time, instructing their respective maids
"now listen here cause I'm only saying it once" the boy said to his maids as he stood in his chambers
"I hate this place and I want to he as far away from here" the second girl said in her changing chambers to her maids
"but since I promised my mother I'll learn and do this, let's set the rules so you don't piss me off for the rest of my stay here" the first girl said as her maids were brushing her hair
"do not entere in my chambers unless I specifically tell you to and it will be only to change my sheets and clean the place" the boy said
"do not speak to me in the first rays of the morning, just bow and do your thing quickly and quietly" the second girl said
"I will not be eating with the other except my own siblings, I hate each and every single one of them" the first girl said
"do not in any way wake me up, I will not enjoy it" the boy said
"did I make myself clear?" The boy said
"you understand?" The second girl said
"I hope you understand" the first girl said
"yes my prince/princess" the maids said to their respective sibling of the three.
---------------------------------------------------
The buy was looking at his half-brothers training in their swordsmanship "they are so weak. I could kill them from here with my bow and their skills will be useless" he mumbles as he looks at them "YOU GUYS ARE WEAK AS HELL!" He yells at them, making one of the boys drop and fall down from the scare. He looks at them surprised by the fall before laughing hysterically and leaving to go tell his sisters.
'mh, maybe this won't be so bad after all' he thought with a smirk as he left.

Part 2
Y/N was walking back to her chambers, shocked and speechless about the apology she just heard from Jacaerys, never expecting it. When she arrived to her chambers she sat down on the couch and leaned her arms on her knees, clasping her hands and thinking about what happened, when suddenly, a raven came to her with a note on the leg. She immediately recognised the handwriting: her father sent a message.
'my dear daughter, our family is well, but my heart aches for the pain you have felt in this time. I'm sorry for bringing you into this situation and for letting you suffer for so long, and as much as it pains to cause such problem on our queen Rhaenyra, my loyalty to her is full but I'm more loyal to my family, to my daughters. So, with a heavy heart, I accept the annual amendment of your marriage with Jacaerys Velaryon / Targaryen, and with that, if you wish it, you can come home. And I think it's best if you bring your children too, we don't need to bring them in such heavy matters as for now. I await for your response soon.
Come home Y/N, your father' the letter stated.
Y/N was surprised by the context on the paper and she felt not only happy to come back home, with her children on the less, but she also felt guilty for doing this to Rhaenyra and leaving the family, but she knew that she is now needed home, whereas she'll return being the heir of her land.
So with a heavy bit at the same time light heart, she prepared her baggage and her children's as they slept and made a servant prepare the waggon for the small dragons of her kids.
The very next day, after another council, y/n stayed back with Rhaenyra, Rhaenys, Corlys, Baela, Rhaena and Jacaerys.
"I've collected you here because... I've annuled my marriage with Jacaerys" she stated, leaving everyone in shock of what she just said "what?" Rhaenyra said shocked in hearing what her now ex-daughter in law just said "it is a decision I have made with much thought, and I think it's best for everyone involved. My house will continue aiding you and supporting your claim your grace but...I cannot stay here. Me and my children will leave tomorrow on the morrow on my dragon while their dragons will be shipped to my home." She explained to everyone, anxious of their response, expecting them to protest but getting surprised when Rhaenys immediately hugged her "even though you're not biologically my grandchild, I've always seen you as such" she whispered in y/n's ear, making her heart melt at such kind words from her. One by one, everyone hugged her, surprised especially by Baela since she hugged her so tight y/n thought she might have cracked a rib or two.
When everyone left, it was just her and Jacaerys, who looked shocked and frustrated "why?" He asked her, trying to keep his frustration at bay "cause this isn't my home, it has never been." She said to him, staying firm on her decision "I am your husband, and those are my children too" he said to her stepping closer. She raised her hand to keep him shut "you never acted like a husband to me, in no way you did. And you only spent time with the children, so much as I can count on one hand how much time you spent with them. So no, they're not your children, not our children, but my children. I need to get the kids ready for tomorrow, if you excuse me " she said firm and stern before leaving, not letting him say another word. Once she reached the children's chambers, she smiled as she saw them asleep, after a hard day of learning high Valaryan. She kissed each of their foreheads gently, trying to not wake them up. But it didn't work as her boy woke up "Mama?" He said half asleep as he looks at her and makes the motion of wanting to get picked up "hello my sweet" she said to him as she held him close, smiling widely as he felt right back asleep in her arms. She rocked him for some time to make sure he stayed asleep before tucking him back in bed and quietly leaving the chambers.
---------------------------------------------------
The next day, she and the kids were dressed and ready to fly back to y/n's home, for one last time she hugged the family, except for Jacaerys, put her kids and buckeld their saddles on Eclipse's back before climbing on her own saddle and with one last wave she said goodbye to the Targaryens and started her fly back home.
---------------------------------------------------
When she arrived she was immediately greeted by her sister, who was ecstatic to have her back "sister!" Y/N said happily as she hugged her sister back before gently unbuckling her children's saddles and helping them get off her dragon, who went to see her own babies. The children were in awe as they arrived to the house and we're happy to see their cousins, who immediately lead them to the gardens to play as the servants were taking the baggages they all brought.
"it's good to be back home" y/n said to her sister before looking at her parents and hugging them "I've missed you" she said with tears in her eyes, feeling like a little girl again in the warm embrace of her parents, especially her mother. "Aw my sweet girl, how you've grown" he mother carassed her face, "you're home" her father said smiling softly at his daughter. Y/N nodded at her father with a happy smile "I'm home".
---------------------------------------------------
A few years later
The children have grown into capable adolescents, her boy has become a fierce soldier, showing mercy to only those who were worthy of it, the oldest of the three, her first girl, became a great diplomat and stratigist, and her second daughter has grown to be compassionate but fierce when need, often found with her mother due to how close she was to her.
When it was time for the children to learn how to handle dragons better and y/n having finished with what she could teach them, she made the decision to send them to King's Landing and put them under the guidance of Rhaenyra and her family, who have won the dance of the dragons war and proclaimed her rightful claim to the throne.
This didn't meant that her children were happy with the decision, which brought to this:
"mother you can't be possibly asking this" the boy said in shock and irritation
"you're right, I'm not asking, I'm doing this" y/n said as she stands up from her throne and walks to them, carassening each child's cheeks "I know you don't want this, and it pains me to send you off, but if there's anyone who knows dragons better than us, is the Targaryens." She said to her children. The three wanted to protest but they knew that it was better not to.
"...when are we leaving?" Her oldest, the first girl, said looking at her mother with determination, "tomorrow in the evening" Y/N said to her. The kids reluctantly nodded at her order and went back to their chambers.
---------------------------------------------------
"this is ridiculous! Why should we go there when we can have someone else teach us?" The boy said as he paces around the chamber.
"cause mother bid it, now calm down" the first girl said as she stands next to the window and fiddling with her necklace gifted by their aunt on their 11th name day.
"as much as I hate this as you, mother is right. Our family has taught us everything they knew about dragons. If we want to know more we must go to the only other family that has dragons; the Targaryens" the second and youngest of the triplets said as she sat on the bed.
"I know but when we go there we have to see....father" the boy stated with disdain in his voice as he thinks about it. The girls stayed silent at his statement, also not liking their father, due to the true story they got from their mother when they have become adolescents.
"we must get through this. When we finished learning from them, we'll come back home" the second girl said as she looks at both her siblings, who reluctantly sighed and nodded at her words, accepting their situation.
--------------------------------------------------
"if you eat my food I'll kill you when I come back" the boy said to his cousin as they all were about to leave
"try me" the cousin said to him as he chuckled.
---------------------------------------------------
When they arrived to King's Landing, their dragons were brought somewhere else as they were too big for the dragon's pit. The triplets stayed there, looking at the entrance when they saw a man come towards them with a smile and a surprised look. They immediately knew who he was: their father,
'JACAERYS' they thought in disdain.
'GODS BE DAMNED'
This is the second part, I'm going to make a part three about how the kids are adapting and their relationships with each member of Jacaerys and Baela's family.
As again @aemondwhoresworld hope you like it
Sad girl in Westeros
"send me your grace. Rhaenys may have the biggest dragon we have but I have the fastest one. And we need Meleys more then ever." That's what y/n while at the black council after Rhaenyra came back from King's Landing.
She, of course, was worried sick about Rhaenyra being in the enemy's territory but she had the hope she came back safe and sound and it seemed like it., but now, word comes that Criston Cole was leading an army towards one of their allies and they needed aid. That's where it comes the current situation:
"Y/-" Rhaenyra tried to protest against her request "Your Grace, my dragon is the fastest one yet, and Criston Cole is already on his way with his army" reader interjected her before she could refuse the request.
As Rhaenyra didn't say another word, y/n left the council to prepare her dragon Eclipse.
As she prepared her dragon and herself for battle, she was deep in thought about how since her marriage with Jacaerys, his only focus was to his first wife Baela, and even though y/n doesn't hate her, she couldn't help but feel envious of the dynamic between them, as she hoped to have the same with Jacaerys and also have a child with him, as it was her biggest dream: becoming a mother, someone that the child could rely to, someone who she could hold close to herself and adore them, but alas, she only managed to consummate her marriage once. She was also thinking about how she could sacrifice herself for this cause, to protect Rhaenyra's rightful claim to the throne, and how it wouldn't matter to anyone if she died in the battle she's about to go to.
She walked towards Eclipse, and leans her forehead to her dragon's nose "time to shine again my dearest" she said to her dragon, who growls as she gets ready to fight.
---------------------------------------------------
Y/N was on the ground with Eclipse after getting hit hard by Vaghar and Aemond, and even though she feels like she couldn't fight anymore, she couldn't help but feel a bit proudful in making Aegon and Sunfyre fall and tearing out one of Vaghar's horn and clawing her chest. She got off Eclipse's back and went to check on her, and sighed in relief as she saw her safe and sound even though they fell from the skies.
"think you can still fly home?" She asked her dragon and nodded as Eclipse stood up ready to fly. She got on her back and yells "SoÄves Eclipse" and they flew away.
Once she got back she instantly made the dragonkeepers go and take care of Eclipse as she goes to see Rhaenyra, even though she was injured. Once she arrived she knocked on the door before coming in "your grace" she greets her "Y/N! You must sit down, you're wounded. Aelys, go fench a maester" Rhaenyra said to her maid as she helped Y/N sit down.
Once she sat down she sighed on relief of her pain lessening before looking at Rhaenyra "I found and killed Criston Cole, but with him there were also Aemond with Vaghar and Aegon with Sunfyre. I managed to wound both Aegon and his dragon, and injuring a bit Vaghar, but they made a sneak attack on me and Eclipse and we fell from the sky. But, most of Cole's army is down and our allies are safe" she reported to Rhaenyra, who sighed in relief at the news and worried about the sudden appearance of Aemond and Vaghar, still grieving Lucerys's death. Soon the maester arrived and y/n got bandaged and treated. "You must go and rest, now" Rhaenyra said to her and y/n couldn't help but agree for once as she was tired both from flying and from the whole battle.
She went to her chambers, as she doesn't share Jacaerys and Baela's chamber, and immediately fell asleep.
---------------------------------------------------
A few weeks have passed and y/n's injuries were healing and with the passing of time Baela's pregnancy continued, causing some jealousy in y/n's heart as she yearned for a child of her own, which brought the current argument
"I have nothing against Baela but I would also like to have a child of my own from our marriage!" She said to Jacaerys frustrated, who only looked at her in indifference as he said words that shattered her heart "you are never going to get my seed, cause only Baela is worthy of it" he said before leaving without even sparing her a glance. She stood there, shocked and hurt as her mind repeats his words like a mantra, feeling like her own heart was burning from the ache she was feeling and the hurt such words caused her. And a few days became weeks, weeks become a month before she sent a raven asking her father this
'Father, I hope you are well, and so is mother and sister. I send you this raven is hope of you to annul my marriage with Jacaerys Velaryon / Targaryen. As i hoped to have a marriage like yours and mother's, such dream never came true and I fear I'll never be able to give you the grandchildren you two always wanted, and never make my dear sister's dream of becoming an aunt come true. So I hope, that if you wish to, to annul this marriage as I am not happy in it. And I hope that even though the marriage gets annuled that our house continues to support Rhaenyra's rightful claim, as you knew her before and know that she's fit for the throne more than anyone else we know or knew.
Hope you are well, Y/N'
She wrapped the paper and tied it to the raven's leg before sending it flying back to her home. She knew that no one could understand her decision, no one but Rhaenyra herself, so she stood up and went to see her.
---------------------------------------------------
"you cannot be possibly asking this" Rhaenyra said as she was shocked of her decision "your grace, as much as I love having you as my mother in law, you and I and many others can see that your son does not harbor any feelings for me, no matter how much i want it. I asked my father to continue his support to your claim. Because, even though there's a possibility that we may not be family anymore, I want you to know I will fight for your rightful claim until my very last breath." Y/N said to her as she sat in front of her in her chamber. She looked at Rhaenyra confused as she stood up and hugged her, shocking her before tears came due to feeling her warm and kind embrace, reminding her of her own mother, and hugging her back, not knowing she will talk to Jacaerys later on about what they spoken about.
---------------------------------------------------
A few months have passed and even though y/n felt the coldness is her relationship with Jacaerys she couldn't help but feel ecstatic when she learn about her pregnancy, finally, a child of her own to love, to protect, to keep safe.
She also noticed how Jacaerys started to spend some time, even briefly, with her and that made her feel hope again in thinking that maybe he's falling in love with her. But, unfortunately, that hope gets shattered just as fast as it came when the announcement of Baela's third pregnancy came and Jacaerys disappeared again.
Y/N's pregnancy was harder than most women, due to the fact that her belly was much bigger than normal, even more than someone carrying twins. And that's when she found out she was having triplets, a very uncommon thing.
She was put under close guard since this was the first time in Targaryen history that triplets came, and it was a certain relief for y/n since it was a very difficult pregnancy, so when she reached her fifth month, she was put on bestest until the end of her pregnancy.
When she went in labour, she was feeling stressed from Jacaerys's neglect, the council getting more tense and the whole pregnancy that she refused the help of her maids, maesters and midwives and gave birth on her own, almost passing out due to the fact that the time between each birth was long, fifteen minutes for each babe, but she couldn't help but feel extremely relieved and happy as she held her babies, two girls and one boy. She was even more happy because they looked exactly like her., and as she kissed each babe's head, she thanked the gods for the strength they gave her during such difficult birth.
Soon Rhaenyra came to look at the babies and check up on her, and she felt her heart melt at the sight of the babies in y/n's arms
"y/n, they're beautiful...they look just like you" Rhaenyra said as she looked at the babies
"thank you, they're my sweet babies, my dearest girls and my little boy" she said as she kissed their heads.
---------------------------------------------------
Three years have passed and the triples looked more and more like y/n every days, anyone could see the resemblance from miles away. Jacaerys spent some time with them from time to time, but was mostly focused on his and Baela's children. This, of course, upsetted y/n's kids but every time they felt sad, she always went to comfort them and make them laugh, hiding the bit of resentment she felt towards Jacaerys's negligence.
One day, everyone was eating at dinner, and while y/n was cleaning one of the girl's mouth from the spilled food, her boy asked a question that made not only her, but also Jacaerys freeze
"Mama, why don't we have other siblings?" "Yeah Mama , why don't we?" One of the girls said "yeah, why?" The other girl said to her with child wonder as she looked at them before making a soft smile at him as she continues to clean the second girl's mouth "cause your mother and father feel like you three are enough for now" she said to them, feeling bad for lying but she knew she couldn't handle their faces if she tells them the real reason.
Meanwhile Jacaerys, was looking at the children, feeling bad for what he had caused y/n, for the pain he inflicted on her and most special, the fact he acted like Daemon and wasn't there for her when she gave birth to the triplets.
After y/n put her children to take their nap, she was about to go and check the children's dragons and see their growth but got stopped by Jacaerys "Y/N wait.... I'd like for us to speak alone, if you wish to" he said to her. She looked at him confused by his request but nodded and went to somewhere more private "is there a reason for you to call me he-" she said but immediately got interrupted by two words she never thought she'd hear from him "I'm sorry" he said to her with a guilt ridden look on his face, with also shame for his actions.
"....what?" She asked confused, shocked and perplexed by what she heard .
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for causing such pain in our marriage, for ignoring and neglecting you in your hard times and in your kind gestures in trying for us to bond. I'm sorry for not being there in your pregnancy, especially because it was hard on you due to growing three children and it being complicated on you. I'm sorry for not being there for their birth, even though I vowed myself to not be like Daemon when mother gave birth to-... I'm sorry for neglicting our children and hurting you and them.... I'm sorry for everything I've done to you and to them. I hope that you can forgive me and for maybe to....try again? I would like for us to try and be a family like we were meant to be: me, you, our children, me and Baela's children too. All of us a family" he said to her as he felt like he couldn't stop talking once he started speaking.
She looked at him with a shocked face bed leaving the private chamber and walking away, not even sparing him a glance as she left.
There it is @aemondwhoresworld hope you like it
Literally sobbing my eyes out after rewatching episode 8 and the episode 9 trailer. Like Rhaenyra left Kings Landing thinking that she and Alicent were mending their relationship and on the path to being civil and possibly friends again, and then Viserys gorks it and Alicents going to have Aegin crowned and my heart canât take it. Also the seen where Rhaenyra and Daemon introduced Viserys to little Aegon and baby Viserys was wholesome and sad and heartbreaking and I hate feelings. And Helaena and Jace were adorable too.
i need to get this off my chest
WHY THE FUCK DID THEY TAKE BURNING AEGON FROM BAELA????? like im not even mad about the fact aemond did it but why did they take the absolute badass action she did (singlehandedly almost defending Aegon and sunfyre) in favor of another targaryen twink
i am soo fucking mad its actually insane
The Dragon Twins, Baela and Rhaena Targaryen from House of the Dragon - I canât wait to see them in season 2đđ€â€ïž
drabble, 1.4k words
King Jace, AU, minor jacela(political marriage), mentioned jofhaera and Addam/Rhaena
The sun sets over King's Landing as Cregan stands near the Princevault â so this building with the slate roof and high carved doors is called now, with prince Daeron Targaryen, formerly the Daring, kept here.Â
It was the surprise when not so long after the war ended, King Jacaerys Targaryen, former Velaryon, declared that his uncle, who barely survived the battle of Tumbleton, would not be executed, but instead held in lifelong captivity.
« I understand your concerns, my lords». â he said to the Small Council. â «But my uncle is not dangerous now. His dragon is dead. He lost his left arm and half of his foot in the last battle, he has numerous burns⊠He will not be able to fight for the throne. Nobody will follow the king who is crippled to such an extent. And he is still my uncle, and I donât want to spill the blood of my relatives.»
«Why wonât you send him to the Nightwatch, your Highness?» asked Corlys Velaryon, Master over the Ships then and Cregan, who stood by here with Handâs brooch on his doublet, was more than agree with him.Â
If there hadnât been a Bitterbridge massacre, Cregan could have even felt pity towards the fallen prince. But not after him demanding to kill all of his inhabitants even after the true killers of prince Maelor were executed. No, he does not understand why Jacaerys spared him.Â
« He may be kidnapped by remaining Green supporters during the trip. Here, he would be under supervision. His niece may still visit him, though.» â Here he chuckled.
The only niece the imprisoned prince had was princess Jaehaera, who just goes out from the Princevault, in her blue dress, with her hands hold by both King Jacaerys and Queen Baela. The girl looks not really happy, but content â a wildly different from the tear-eyed, trembling girl Jace described here to him they found when the capital was captured.Â
At first, when they didnât know what to do with her. She was the daughter of the fallen king, of the man, who usurped his mother and abandoned his wife when she lost her son and went mad. But she was still a young, eternally frightened girl too. The better choice was to marry her to someone loyal to the king, who will not rebel to get a crown and has the possessions of his own. There were four men who may possibly wed her - kingâs brothers Joffrey and Aegon, or his bastard brothers Alyn and Addam. Some people expected young Aegon to wed Jaehaera, but the King stopped those talks and decided to marry the girl to the middle brother, and also to marry lady Rhaena to Addam, who became the heir to Driftmark.Â
«I do not think that Joffrey will be against his bride visiting her uncle when they visit the Red Keep. I am not gonna wed them now cause itâs gonna be nothing, but a farce in this case. Iâll wait until the princess turns at least thirteen and their wedding will happen here.»
«And your brother?»
«Will get a Dornish mark. Itâs a hardly controlled region and we need strongholds both against Dorn and usurperâs sympathizers in the Reach.»
Here, the king doesnât tell all the truths. Jacaerys never told about it to the Small Council, but said once to him that the reason his uncles usurped his mother may lay in the fact they would not get anything except reduced to mere toadies if she will get a throne. His uncle and stepfather was a son of the king, but didnât get anything except a place in the Small council and nothing to give his children except the dragon eggs. Cregan thinks there is nothing to pity the usurpers for, but he more than agrees that Jaceâs brothers deserve to get their own lands. Granted, prince Joffrey has Dragonstone now, but when Queen Baela will give birth to the son, it will come to him. So, there are the Dornish mark for Joffrey, Cape Kraken for Aegon and Rain House, whose Lordâs family lost it due to its association with usurper, for young Viserys. And two of them will get new keeps for their families, when the said keeps will be built.Â
Cregan sighs as the King gets down on one knee, hugs his niece and then rises and kisses his cousin and wife, who looks gorgeous in her red dress despite being heavily pregnant, on her forehead. He is not of those who can think a lot about his past, but he hardly can believe that only two years have passed since the green dragon and his rider landed nearby Winterfell. Once they hunted together, played snowballs in secret,watched the night sky and shared kisses in its darkness. Once merely a young grandlord and prince with a young dragon â now Hand and his King, who is gonna be father soon.
But are they the same persons who have fallen for each other during the visit to the North?Â
Once they reunited after Jacaerysâs coronation and his motherâs funeral, he voiced his concerns about it. Jacaerys, who there did his best to make Cregan call him «Jace» again, didnât smiled in vain attempt to make the situation look easier, but lowered his gaze and genuinely said that he didn't know this. He was thrown out of balance by the betrayal of the dragonseeds he recruited, his brother's death and his mother being killed by one of Larys Strongâs spies. Than, they couldnât find the words to sooth each other and barely sat alone in the cabinet, pressing their foreheads against each other, and somehow, this was enough.Â
And so they decided â no matter what, to be here and watch for each other.
The princess and the Queen leave King Jacaerys, as he goes to him. In the sky, the dragonâs cry is heard, and Cregan wonders, what sea monster is brought to keep by Moondancer now. Last time, Queen Baelaâs dragon dragged the whole shark to the Red Keep.Â
«We need to discuss some things privately.» says Jace, when he comes to him and Cregan nods.Â
Since the war, huge numbers of armies of North, Riverlands and Vale and Blacks supporters from other Kingdoms have occupied the Westlands, Stormlands, Kingslands and Reach â as the lands whose lords betrayed their true queen. In retaliation, they will be put under direct control of the kingâs through loyal people for a temporary time. Kermit Tully got the Westlands, Lord Rovan got the Reach, Corlys Velaryon got the Stormlands, and Jeyne Arrynâs heir Joffrey Arryn got Kingslands. And Cregan thinks that the reason Jace called him to his rooms is somehow connected to this.Â
They reach the kingâs cabinet in a minute and the guards salute to them. They enter it a second after and Jace closes the door.Â
Cregan can see the said cabinet. Poets and bards often talk about how wonderful the Red Keep looks like, and sometimes Cregan is ready to agree with them. There is the broken model of old Valyria made by Jaceâs maternal grandfather, king Viserys, a huge table, a chair nearby and a fire burning in the fireplace. There are a bunch of letters on the table and a ream of sheets next to them.Â
Then, Jace shows him a bunch of letters. Cregan reads them patiently. These letters come from different cities - or better to say, from unions the prominent ones of these cities, like merchants or most skilled craftsmen. The number of cities are impressive: Weeping town, Vinetown, Pebbletown, Hull, Kingâs Landing itself, Duskendale, Lannisport, Tumbletown, Bitterbridge⊠The prominent ones of these cities are afraid - itâs visible in the tone of their letters. The war left them with no protection from the marching armies of lords, especially the traitor lords and so they are asking the king for protection. They will pay money directly to his representatives, will form city militias or empower the existing ones and put the directly to the kingâs service if heâll support them in their initiative.
And there Cregan understands. Now, there are Tully, Stark and Arryn armies keeping the order in former rebel territories, but it ainât gonna last forever. Sooner or later, but they need to leave home⊠And thenâŠ
« Are you going to use city councils against the former rebel lords?»
And the smirk blossoms on Jaceâs lips.
«Exactly».Â
