commission of Aegon || and his daughter Jaehaera โค๏ธโ๐ฉน
TB stans: the greens ones feel sorry for Jaehaerys for his cruel death, but they donโt feel sorry for Lucerys, who is exactly the same child!!!
Excuse me, but why is Lucerys a child? Do you need to be reminded that at the age of 15, Robb Stark led an army and went to the South to avenge the death of his father and rescue his sisters from captivity?
Remind you that Arya was exposed to the cruelty of the world at a young age when she was captured at Harrenhal and forced to watch the cruel deeds of Tywin Lannister?
Do you finally need to remember Shireen, whom her own father took on a hike in the dead of winter? She never once complained about her age.
Finally, think of Tommen, who also had to face the fanatics of the High Sparrow at a young age. Iโm already silent about Bran and Rickon - they were in exile from a young age and wandered through foreign lands in search of help, and Bran generally went beyond the Wall and lived in the wilderness.
And after that TB stans call Lucerys a CHILD? what kind of child is he if he was sent as an ambassador on a responsible mission to gain the support of a great House for his mother? Would a child be sent on such a dangerous journey for dangerous negotiations? Or are you saying that Rhaenyra is so stupid that she didn't find anyone better than a child to be an ambassador? shut your mouths and be silent. stop comparing the deaths of a truly INNOCENT CHILD and a person who was a FIGURE in the war that started.

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 โ so this building with the slate roof and high carved doors is called now, with prince Daeron Targaryen, formerly the Daring, kept here.ย
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.
ยซ I understand your concerns, my lordsยป. โ he said to the Small Council. โ ยซBut 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 burnsโฆ 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 donโt want to spill the blood of my relatives.ยป
ยซWhy wonโt you send him to the Nightwatch, your Highness?ยป asked Corlys Velaryon, Master over the Ships then and Cregan, who stood by here with Handโs brooch on his doublet, was more than agree with him.ย
If there hadnโt 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.ย
ยซ He may be kidnapped by remaining Green supporters during the trip. Here, he would be under supervision. His niece may still visit him, though.ยป โ 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 โ a wildly different from the tear-eyed, trembling girl Jace described here to him they found when the capital was captured.ย
At first, when they didnโt 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 - kingโs 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.ย
ยซI 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 itโs gonna be nothing, but a farce in this case. Iโll wait until the princess turns at least thirteen and their wedding will happen here.ยป
ยซAnd your brother?ยป
ยซWill get a Dornish mark. Itโs a hardly controlled region and we needย strongholds both against Dorn and usurperโs sympathizers in the Reach.ยป
Here, the king doesnโt 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 didnโt 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 Jaceโs 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 Lordโs family lostย 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.ย
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 andย shared kisses in its darkness. Once merely a young grandlord and prince with a young dragon โ 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?ย
Once they reunited after Jacaerysโs coronation and his motherโs funeral, he voiced his concerns about it. Jacaerys, who there did his best to make Cregan call him ยซJaceยป again, didnโt 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 Strongโs spies. Than, they couldnโt find the words to sooth each other and barely sat alone in the cabinet,ย pressing their foreheads against each other, and somehow, this was enough.ย
And so they decided โ 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 dragonโs cry is heard, and Cregan wonders, what sea monster is brought to keep by Moondancer now. Last time, Queen Baelaโs dragon dragged the whole shark to the Red Keep.ย
ยซWe need to discuss some things privately.ยป says Jace, when he comes to him and Cregan nods.ย
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 โ as the lands whose lords betrayed their true queen. In retaliation, they will be put under direct control of the kingโs through loyal people for a temporary time. Kermit Tully got the Westlands, Lord Rovan got the Reach, Corlys Velaryon got the Stormlands, and Jeyne Arrynโs heir Joffrey Arryn got Kingslands. And Cregan thinks that the reason Jace called him to his rooms is somehow connected to this.ย
They reach the kingโs cabinet in a minute and the guards salute to them. They enter it a second after and Jace closes the door.ย
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 Jaceโs 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 aย ream of sheets next to them.ย
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, Kingโs Landing itself, Duskendale, Lannisport, Tumbletown, Bitterbridgeโฆ The prominent ones of these cities are afraid - itโs 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 kingโs service if heโll 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 ainโt gonna last forever. Sooner or later, but they need to leave homeโฆ And thenโฆ
ยซ Are you going to use city councils against the former rebel lords?ยป
And the smirk blossoms on Jaceโs lips.
ยซExactlyยป.ย

Jaehaera was tiny and slow to grow. She did not cry, she did not smile, she did none of the things a babe was meant to do.
Aegon III was now eleven, Jaehaera only eight. Once wed, they had very little contact with one another save on formal occasions, and even that was rare, as the little queen was loath to leave her chambers.
โThey have no joy in them; they neither laugh nor play. The girl wets her bed at night and weeps inconsolably when she is corrected. Her own ladies say that she is eight, going on four.
So, in what world is that forced ''relationship'' more intresting? It was torture for both of them, it would have never worked and they would have avoided each other for the entirety of it (as they did when they were children); Jaehaera would never heal Aegon III and he would never heal Jaehaerea; They were both 'broken', Aegon got along with Gaemon and Daenaera because they were 'happier' and the opposite of his state.
But Green stans don't care how the forced marriage and pregnancy would be cruel to Jaehaera (that she is eight, going on four); They want the green bloodline to have continued, because no matter what they say, the fact that the Green line did not survive bothers them, that's why many of them even cling on the supposed bastards Aegon and Aemond have;
And no, I don't wish for Jaehaera to die, she was an innocent girl and did not deserve to suffer and be killed for a man's ambition (Peake); But there was no chance of healing for her and Aegon in that marriage, nor was it more intresting.
As for HotD.... I doubt there would be even a wedding between Jaehaera and Aegon III, they have 16 episodes to cover the entire war and the aftermath, and the fact they aged down the characters (especially Aegon III and his arc with Stormcloud and seeing his mother die) tells me they don't really care about the children; the show is about ''Alicent and Rhaenyra'' after all, so maybe they will give Alicent a different death and it would be a wrap for HotD.
Aegon III and Jaehaera ๐ค๐
