I don't own Game of Thrones.
Chapter 1
16 years later…
"Lady Rhaenyra! Lady Rhaenyra!" An old Septa who has been taking care of the young Rhaenyra Sand.
She has been searching and running about the whole castle in search of her. Rhaenyra is getting quite good and running away from any responsibilities.
Septa Mira is an old woman of 60 years old who had taken care of her young pupil since King Aerys orders his young 'natural' daughter to come and live in Kingslanding.
The Old Septa knew that Aerys did this to hurt Queen Rhealla for not giving birth to any healthy sons and daughters.
Aerys simply wanted to brag that he was not at fault for not having living children, but faults lie with the queen herself.
She remembers how the little lady Rhaenyra looks so lost and not sure what to think of this strange land she was forced to call home.
Thankfully, Queen Rhealla wasn't cruel to her niece/stepdaughter.
The Queen hired Septa Mira to care for her stepdaughter in the early years.
Now She regrets it!
"Oh, by all the gods both old and new." Septa huffs. "She wasn't like this at all when she was a child!"
No one could deny that Lady Rhaenyra was a beauty to behold.
The court had referred to her as a diamond in the rough.
Now as she is beautiful as any Targaryen was before her. That is all good for possible markets for marriage.
If only that were true.
It is the princess's personality that is the problem.
Ever since Rhaenyra had suffered under unknown illness when she was 9. King Aerys order all the best healers and measter to heal his precious little dragon.
That was one good thing King Aerys had down for her.
That poor little thing was suffering, and her mind was full of delusion. Her body was hot to touch from such a high fever as she lay on her bed.
Many believed that she was going to die, but a miracle came when Rhaenyra recovered.
But for some unknown reason, she had changed.
It was like Lady Rhaenyra was once obedient, soft-spoken little lady into this wild, short-tempered of a menace to society.
Hence in mockery of her bizarre behavior, receiving the name Rhaenyra the fool. Septa Mira sighs irately.
'Where did I raised her wrong?'
Septa Mira was sure that King Aerys would like to burn her for making Rhaenyra into this.
But the Mad King found this more amusing and let her do as she pleased!
"No doubt she is playing with a bunch of lowborn and commoner children again" Septa Mira continues to return in search of her young pupil.
That was Lady Rhaenyra's reputation around here.
She did not care for one's status or positions. No matter how often she reprimands and reminded her that this is not Dorne, yet the girl wouldn't listen.
For some reason, Rhaenyra is a clear speaker with a strong presence about her and was known to run around with other youths from the area, without any regard to her rank in society.
Already whispers about her young pupil's reputation spread through the entire kingdom.
Did you see that bastard girl dress like she was one of the boys? They even played wrestling together.
That girl is an animal. I see no lady only a beast.
Quite the temper when she punches the heir to House Bracken. The Blackwoods defend her decision.
Leather beaches…How improper.
Never much around and only rode her horse till dusk to dawn then return. Three days later or so I heard!
Her so-called hired helps were made from farmers' sons, blacksmiths, or second and third sons from the other noble families.
Delinquents they are. In the morning, she would ride her horse and made them run a mile…
I felt sorry for Prince Rhaegar that he would be shamed by his 'natural' sister. Yet he never made it publicly display…
Lady Rhaenyra would laugh at Crown Prince's suggestions and his concerns. I heard that she mocks him in believing such visions and dreams then walks away.
She is more Dornish than proper Targaryen, I tell you that.
I heard she is fond of crab meats. Perhaps, I should deliver some…
No respect she had from the king's council.
Lady Cersei Lannister tried to pick a fight with her, but Rhaenyra held Lady Lannister down and cut her golden hair. Laughs at lady Cersei that a Dragon had maned the lioness. Now she is a shame that her hair is shortened by the below shoulders.
Lord Hand wasn't pleased with it at all, but he couldn't do anything about it.
Madness. That is only true that the princess may have the Targaryen madness.
Septa Mira sighs and dreaded that Lady Rhaenyra's reputation grew more outrageous.
Thou at least, some things send concerns about Rhaenyra's odd visitations.
She has been visiting Blacksmiths and gave quite a particular question that seems intelligent somehow.
Even visiting, Lady Olenna Tyrell with random tea times on private manners. Despite claims, that she was in it for the food…
I heard she had been going hunting trips with Lord Robert from House of Baratheon and the second son of House of Stark.
Septa Mira sometimes wished to understand that girl.
It was like Rhaenyra spoke nonsense like a fool but held some eyes that screams intelligence. Or maybe, she was getting old.
Septa must get this letter to her lady soon or else the King won't be lenient towards her pupil.
She heard screams and laughter involves in the background where the oceans are. Septa Mira quickly ran a bit and saw where her missing lady is.
Rhaenyra laughs and would lift one child and throw them in the ocean with a fun splash.
Other orphans went crowd around her to be lifted next to their game.
It would have been considered sweet if not for one small sight that filled with wariness.
Mira dreaded as she knew what Rhaenyra is wearing.
Her Dornish clothing that is showing more legs and wearing a tank top shirt. Her Targaryen hair shows wild and loose without a properly tied.
Rhaenyra argues that she will always be Dornish first then Targaryen second. That sent a lot of arguments between the King and princess Rhaenyra.
That the Queen and prince Rhaegar would be in between them in order not to bring physically fight between each other. Knowing that Aerys would be beaten black and blue by Rhaenyra who seems a lot quicker than she looks.
He would lock her up or jail, but Rhaenyra always managed to escape. Every time she would escape and oddly enough, she returned surrender under the kings' guard arrest, but not until an unexpected visitor came to the king's court.
An army of poor commoners went a peaceful mob that pleaded with the king to release their princess. Aerys looked at them and sneered at their demands.
He orders many of them to be thrown in the dungeons.
They resisted no possible threats or jail.
Aerys is annoyed by this.
Usually, people would plead and beg, but they did none of these things.
It disturbed him.
Disturbed him so much.
Aerys begrudging gave up and simply released everyone even princess Rhaenyra.
He allowed her to wear what she pleased. Many were astonished by this turn of this event.
They wonder, how did the common people know that Princess Rhaenyra was about to be rearrested again or would come to her aid?
"Princess!" Septa Mira screamed which paused her playmates and amethyst royal purple eyes snapped towards Septa. Rhaenyra seems on the stage where she is awkwardly taller despite her age is 16.
An annoyance is shown on the princess's face.
"Ugh! What does that old hag want?" She places the child down and said, "Sorry everyone. Playtime is over for this evening."
Rhaenyra waved goodbye to the young orphans that Septa Mira did not doubt that she invited them all here.
Many orphans waved to her 'bye's.
"Princess, I implore you to not do this anymore."
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" That snapped Septa Mira's jaw shut. Yes, this was her ward's infamous temper.
Rhaenyra seemed to take pride in her command and action.
Sometimes, it felt like they were talking to the general who leads the army and held more respect than any lords that they serve.
"What do those vipers in the court want now?"
Septa Mira sputtered at her choices in words. "Princess, be careful!" She hissed at her careless words. The court still had eyes and ears everywhere.
"A wolf is careful when it comes to knowing when he should hunt." There it is. The riddles and off-note words that dubbed her a fool.
Rhaenyra took the note from Septa Mira's hand and read it thoroughly.
The princess looked up like she dreaded something terrible has happened and scoffs. "Looks like another stupid move." Rhaenyra started walking back inside the Reds keep as Septa Mira tittered behind her.
Rhaenyra went towards the court wet and wearing her clothes.
Septa Mira went and took the purple curtains and quickly wrapped her around like a toga to cover up her inappropriate outfit. It seems like Rhaenyra could care less when her Septa stumbles and dress while they walk together.
Many guards were amazed at how they could walk and dressed at the same time.
Now that is multi-tasking.
BANG! She opened the door which startled all the courtiers. But for some are used to this.
Rhaenyra strides towards the court without pausing to wait to be announced. Septa Mira still followed behind her.
Rhaenyra just stood there as she looked to her Targaryen family half.
Rhaegar had silver-gold hair, but dark lilac eyes, he was considered to be tall and breathtakingly handsome.
Oh yes, he is, but sadly his mind is deluded from prophecy and dreams.
Aerys was very thin (he was fearful of being poisoned, and therefore he fasted), and gaunt with a long, straggly beard and fingernails which grew to several feet in length.
There is talk and rumors that he had my other bastard siblings, but washed his hands from his previous lovers. No wonder he wants me to enter his courts to enjoy the look on people's faces.
Rhaella Targaryen. She has pale Valyrian skin, her silver hair has now gone grey with age, and she has Violet eyes.
They said she was a beautiful and bright young princess. Shame that such a marriage can destroy a person.
"Heh. Well, it seems that you decided to come after all." Aerys chuckled. Rhaenyra didn't show fear only boredom.
"It is time. To bring you into proper bonding between families. Renew our family ties. You will marry Lord Stannis Baratheon."
Rhaenyra inwardly smirked.
'Ah, so you think you got me in the begging mode. Well, too bad. I will be the one to conquer the nation.'
