"Push, your grace¡ you must push". With all her strength, Queen Rhaella did all she could, she lost too many babes, if she loses this one, she might go mad, after hours of pain and delivering, Rhaella gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, but King Aerys has grown suspicious on his sister-wife and her fidelity as a wife.
"Aegon and Naerys" The King has declared, still, the maesters had warned him that the babes are very fragile, and probably they won't survive until their first name. Prince Rhaegar, very concerned, was always with his mother and his little siblings. "Will they live, like I do, mother?" Little Rhaegar said to his mother Queen Rhaella, on a very sad gesture. "Let's pray to the gods they do, my dear son" his mother answered, on a very insecure sound.
"Your grace, I must inform you, that your youngest son, Prince Aegon, has passed away this morning". King Aerys could not hold his sadness and rage, demanding to his maesters the life of his little son. "This has to be Rhaella's fault, the last children she bore, were only death". Still the maesters told him that the little Princess was still alive, and that unlike her twin brother, she will survive. "Your grace, your daughter, Princess Naerys, is still alive and well, still fragile, but she might reach maturity".
King Aerys ordered Tywin to arrange a Tourney in honor to his little daughter, who survived death, the biggest tourney ever made, knights, noblemen, even folk men enjoyed the long and wealthiest tourney a King has ever arranged
The maesters were true, Naerys had a sickly childhood, still, the little Princess was bright as the shining sun. When Prince Viserys was born, Rhaegar was a young man of seven and ten year old, and Naerys just a seven year old little thing. Rhaegar always protected his little sister Naerys, since she was very fragile, Rhaegar swore to himself and the gods to protect his sister against everything. Every night Rhaegar played the Harp to her, telling her stories about the past Targaryens, The old Valyria, The war of the conquest, The Dance of Dragons, thousands of songs and tales, Rhaegar loved his little sister Naerys, with all his heart. Naerys tried to see her new brother, but her father did not allowed anyone to see or even touch the little Prince, not even their mother. After the night, when Rhaegar used to sing at her, Naerys asked to her older brother "Brother, will you compose a song for me?", Rhaegar with a sweet smile replied "of course my dear sister, would you like a song about knights and dragons?", "No" Naerys replied, "a song of Ice and Fire"
Author Note: I hope you like this story and I promise to upload more, about Naerys and her name, it's a reference to Queen Naerys Targaryen, sister-wife to King Aegon IV, that's why I found appropriate to name the twins "Aegon and Naerys".
Hope you guys like it.
See you in the next chapter
