Viserys: Rhaenyra, my beloved girl. It so happens that we have a strained relationship with House Velaryon, which I made even worse when I refused to marry Laena Velaryon, who rides the largest and oldest dragon in Westeros. My council and I have decided that the Targaryens and Velaryons will be reconciled if you marry Laenor Velaryon. And you cannot refuse and choose any other man. Yes, Laenor is openly gay, always surrounded by other men, and he will leave you and return to Driftmark immediately after the wedding. Most likely, you will be lonely and unhappy, and will live your whole life not knowing what it is like to be in a loving marriage. And I am not even sure that you will become a mother in the future, given that Laenor obviously has no attraction for you. Have I mentioned how much I love you and will disinherit you if you do not marry Laenor?

Rhaenyra then gives birth to three children, obviously not by her husband, but by a man whose father wanted to execute her first lover she originally wanted to marry and loved: 🖕

One day, Saera visited her brother in Oldtown and gave him an outfit from her work 💋

"— Don't you like it, Vaegon? It's the finest organza from Lys! Besides, black has always suited you.

Chapter 28

Daemon is with Rhaenyra and a group of young nobles who have chosen to spend the afternoon in the Fountain Garden. Some men are playing cards or dice, and a few stand to the side, entertaining themselves with a set of wooden balls, which they try to push into small holes in the ground using long sticks. The ladies are either strolling along the alleyways, picking up flowers, gossiping or sewing. Rhaenyra and Daemon sit under a great silk canopy, a board of Cyvasse between them, while Rhaenyra’s ladies watch the game eagerly. Not too far away, under another canopy, the servants bustle around the trestle table, preparing luncheon for the youth. When the people notice Viserys, they bow and curtsey, murmuring greetings and attempting to start a conversation, but Viserys only smiles and marches on, heading towards his daughter and brother. “Who’s winning?” he asks when he reaches them. Daemon laughs. “I am.” “No, you’re not,” Rhaenyra grumbles under her breath.

Chapter 28 / Chapter 1

Prince Daemon comforting his niece, Princess Rhaenyra, on the passing of her mother

Yooooooo~ I’m back!!!!! XD

I hope I’ve managed to get that “genuine love and wants to comfort his niece + smugness that he’s the only male heir alive (supposedly) + I can’t be too happy this is a funeral so straight face!” Daemon face

You, every night.

New Year Baby🥂

Hi, hope you're well.

I've been reading some of the older chapters because I love our dragon brothers, and when little Viserys is presented at court, Alicent thinks about how baby Aegon 'stole' her son's name as well as his birthright, and that she was the one who wanted to name her son for the Conqueror, not Rhaenyra.

Do you think that had Aegon (son of OTP Baelon and Alyssa) lived, Alicent would have felt so strongly about her son being named for the Conqueror, or would it have meant less to her had another member of House Targaryen already had that name? I imagine part of her possessiveness for it is because she saw her son as Viserys' heir, but would it lose meaning if someone else got there first, rather than someone 'taking' it after her?

Hi there, I hope you are well too.

The problem was that Rhaenyra used the same name Alicent did, and she hates Rhaenyra. That's it 😂 That's all of it. Like I always say, simplest answer is almost always the correct one, and you can never go wrong if you say it's pettiness and hatred driving these two 😊

OTP Baelon and Alyssa would not even be an after thought even if their son Aegon had lived.

This is always about the Princess and the Queen

Alicent *hearing that Rhaenyra and Daemon named their son Aegon*:

Rhaenyra:
