Hello! I want to tell you that i listened to your advice and found a person who was willing to check my grammar and vocabulary. I hope that she did a good job and my story will have less flaws. But no more talking, here's the second part of my story.

Chapter 2: Realisation

On the next day after breakfast there was a big welcome of guests coming to the feast. It supposed to take some time and Dany, as a member of royal family, had to be there so she ate more - and thanks to that she could hold on longer than usual.

After breakfast Dany came to the throne room. Many people were gathered there but she ignored them and came straight to her family. Her eyes scanned the surroundings.

The king was calm as usual and Queen Ellia was slightly absorbed by her own thoughts. Dany glanced at her brother Viserys and rushed to join other members of family trying not to see lustful looks which he was throwing at her direction. Her brother have desired her for some time now but, luckily for her, he couldn't do anything with that. Daenerys also tried to avoid her brother's son, and heir of Iron Throne, Aegon (who had a crush on her). Despite her family's tradition Dany didn't want to marry any member of her family.

In the end her gaze landed on her kin, Rhaenys. She was slightly older than Daenerys and almost as beautiful as her. She looked bored but when she saw Dany her lips curled in a little smile. In response Dany smiled herself and came to her. Soon both of them were gossiping. Daenerys had to tell the story from yesterday yet again, and Rhaenys was about to comment on it when everyone went quiet. The king ordered silence and, suddenly, guests came into the throne room.

Only the most important guests were greeted in the throne room. The Tyrells arrived earlier so Maergery and her cousins stood in the corner and talked in a hushed tone just before the king order silence.

Everyone's attention focused on a man who walked into the throne room carrying an orange flag with a spear cutting through the sun. There was a handsome man standing behind the bannerman. His skin was darker than it is typical in most of Westeros, and he was accompanied by other men and women like him. The man kneeled and said to the king:

- Greetings to king Rhaegar! My brother Doran sends his sincerest apologies. His health condition do not allow him to be here in person.

- That's understandable, prince Oberyn. I fully understand reasoning of Lord Doran. At least you are here, my lord.

There was no need for more words; the health condition of the Lord of Dorne has been worse and worse for the past few years. His illness progressed so much that even maester's treatment wasn't helping too much.

Oberyn stayed for a while and soon left to make place for another guests.

Time passed and more and more people came to the throne room: firstly, there were more powerful lords from Reach like Tarly, Hightower, or Rowan. Secondly, there were nobles from Dorne like Yronwoods or Ullers. Then there were a few more important lords from Crownlands and Riverlans like Darry, Rosby, or Rykker.

After them, with a banner of a golden lion on red background, came the daughter of Tywin Lannister, Cersei, and both of her children. She smile coldly and greeted the king in the same manner.

When Dany saw her she stopped breathing for a second. She heard gossip about her family and about the role which they played in the War of Usurper - which was practically none. And even more interesting part was connected with Jaime Lannister who was a brother of the woman standing in front of the king's family. Long time ago he was a member of the Kingsguard but something happened. Dany didn't know what exactly but she knew that Lannister refused to obey her father's order which ended in his death. Shortly after that incident the civil war ended and the Targaryens won. But on a feast, which was thrown to celebrate the victory, Aerys II died from poison in food. Until this day nobody knows who is responsible for the king's demise but Rhaegar always suspected that it was Tywin Lannister's revenge. There wasn't any proof but because of Rhaegar's suspicions the Lannisters fell into the king's disgrace. That's why it was only Cercei Lannister with her boy Joeffrey and girl Myrcella who came to visit the king from Westerlands.

Their welcome was short but soon enough tension became noticably bigger and the atmosphere in the room became really heavy. Many attendants held their breath in and waited nervously.

That was because at that very moment members of formerly rebelled families went into the throne room to greet the king. None of them was heavily punished, no one died after the war. Most of them didn't lose anything but that didn't mean that their crimes were forgotten.

The first was Renly Baratheon. He was the last member of his family and the only one who survived the war. Both of his brothers were dead - Robert was killed in decisive battle under Hayford, and Stannis refused to surrender even when everyone knew that the war is over. Only Renly left - during the war he was only a child. Nevertheless he showed the king nothing but respect, much to everyone's surprise. He spoke with Rhaegar for a moment and then he retreated with respect.

After him came Royce from Vale. This meeting was fairly normal because the Royces betrayed their senior liege and supported the king. After the war they were rewarded - now they rule over Vale because Jon Arryn was stripped of all his titles and sent to the Wall. First few years after the rebellion was hard for them - their authority and rule over Vale were constantly questioned. Nowadays, however, things go relatively well and most of the other lords from Vale finally start to acknowledge their new title - without doubt the fact that there was no living male member of the Arryn family was very helpful.

Then Edmure Tully showed up in the room. His father, just like Jon Arryn, was sent to the Wall. He also lost control over Riverlands (which was a reward for Darry's loyality). Still, his familly was significant enough so he was present that day as well. Of course that didn't change the fact that he was an outcast and his authority dissipated mostly because of his whoring ways.

At the end the Starks appeared in the throne room. They started the rebellion and they were the main force of rebeliants in the past. However, for an unknown reason, they were pardoned by the king and they even kept their title of the Lord Paramount of the North. Maybe it was because the Stark family was the most honourable in the entire Westeros? Maybe Dany's brother didn't want to go overboard with punishments? She was quite curious about that but she never asked questions - their servants didn't say a word and Rhaegar wasn't eager to tell anything himself. She will find out one way or another when she leaves her home, she thought.

However at that moment Dany couldn't care less. She was looking towards the Starks and she couldn't believe her eyes.

She noticed a banner with grey direwolf on white background. The Northmen split up allowing the Starks to come to view. A tall men with black hair and grey eyes emerged from the group.

-Welcome, lord Stark - said Rhaegar in a hollow voice.

-Your Grace - the men bowed his head and then he pointed at a red-haired woman - and this is my wife Catelyn. Then he summoned his children - it was quite the pack, all of them of a different age. The youngest one was still a toddler but the oldest...

-This is my eldest son and heir Robb - Lord Stark continued and Daenerys felt that her mouth suddenly became dry. Even though it was dark yesterday, she had no problem recognising him. It was the man who saved her life. He looked the same but now he seemed more serious, solemn, and proud.

The Targaryen girl didn't pay much attention when Ned Stark introduced the rest of his family; she became aware of the fact that he knew what he was doing when he didn't introduce himself. Dany didn't know what to think about that entire situation and she still stared at him. She was so caught up with her thoughts that for a while she didn't notice that he watched her too. Finally, she realized that they both were looking into each other eyes. Daenerys quickly shifted her gaze - she knew that if she didn't do that her face would turn red.

"What's going on with me?" she thought angrily. Lucky for her the Stark family was last to arrive so when they left murmurs quickly transformed into loud conversations. Nevertheless Dany was a little disapointed that Robb didn't even try to greet her and that thought made her fall into a foul mood.

Rhaenys had no problem with detecting her low spirit so she only leaned to Daenerys and whispered:

-Dany, what is wrong with you. Why are you so upset?

The Targaryen girl fought internally for a moment but eventually she gave up and said in a simillar hushed tone:

-Before I arrived I told you about this boy who saved my life. He helped me and then instantly vanished, remember?

-Yes and ... ?- Rhaenys asked clearly curious.

- Today I recognised him. That mysterious man is Robb Stark. And he clearly recognised me too but he didn't even bother to greet me - Daenerys replied with a sad voice.

Rhaenys was silent, she didn't know what to say. Luckily for her Arianne and Tyene approached them and saved her from responding to that troubling issue.

-Recently we spoke with our uncle Oberyn. A lot of interesting things have happened since we left Dorne - Arianne started but she stopped immediately when she saw Daenerys's face.

-Dany, did something bad happen to you?- Tyene asked, concerned.

-Well, today we finally found out who is the guy that yesterday saved Dany - Rhaenys replied because she noticed that her aunt clearly had no intention in answering the question - It was Robb Stark- she added after a moment of hesitation.

Arianne and Tyene were visibly shocked and stared at Dany who flinched, unable to hold their gazes. Arianne tentatively came closer to her and whispered:

-Shhh... it's going to be okay. It shouldn't bother you - from my point of view it doesn't change anything unless... - her eyes widen and she hugged her.

Dany wasn't sure about this, not a bit. She really wanted to cry and the worst thing was that she didn't even know why. Of course she had her suspicions but she didn't want to say them out loud out of fear that they could actually be true.
