A/N: Sorry for not updating, I'm going to be completely honest I forgot I even made this but now that I remember I intend to finish this and lead up to the point in the story where Season 1 of House Of The Dragon ends. (Yes the Dance of the dragons will still happen in this world but it may be slightly different on how and what causes it.)

King Viserys stepped forth at the Small Council's table, "I have decided to take a new wife" he said in a sorrowful voice full of grief & pain. Lord Corlys adjusted himself in his

seat as a response to the Kings statement his lips quivering with anticipation he leaned forward now eager to hear the King finish his announcement, Viserys could feel the

tension in this room he could see the eyes of men wanting to hear the words 'I choose your daughter lord such and such' the politicking of having to choose a wife so soon after

his loves death angered Viserys deeply.

"Great Lords among this table I must sadly say I shall choose none of your daughters here today, not Lady Alicent Hightower, not Lady Laena Velaryon, but I choose my own

Daughter, Lady Rhaenyra Targaryen." He could see the horror in Ser Otto Hightowers eyes but not just the Horror the anger aswell, as the Faith Of The Seven objected to incest

but the Targarayens had been a exception as seen to by the previous King the Old King Jaehaerys. "King Viserys I-" Ser Otto began to squeak, "Ahh, Bup-Bup Ser Otto I would remind you that the Faith Of The Seven has no power over who I marry even if it be my own kin, let me remind you why us Targaryen's marry our kin, our dragons if we were to marry outside our house too much we would lose the ability to bond with our dragons but as long as we have our dragons now we will not be forced to marry outside our house too often. So it will stand I have chosen to marry the noble lady Rhaenyra Targarayen, and I would like it seen to that wedding arrangements begin."

Viserys walked over to Rhaenyra he could see her hand shaking out of fear of how the small council would react he suspected but it mattered not, he extended his own hand

and firmly grasped his newly betrothed's hand tightly, Viserys leaned into Rhaenyras ear and whispered "Worry not lovely daughter as long as I am here you have nothing to

fear" he ended his words with a peck on his betrothed's cheek. Rhaenyras heart was racing a million miles per hour but she could not stop it and she could also not stop the spreading wet spot in her undergarments.

As her new betrothed walked her out of the Small Council they went their separate ways as her betrothed went to his room and Rhaenyra went to her's, where she would find

lady Alicent already waiting "Rhaenyra...I am sorry-" Alicent suddenly felt a blazing warmth of a billion fires on her cheek

"You try to steal my Father my Betrothed! You tried to seduce him to-to further your own Lord Fathers political schemes, Alicent did it ever strike you that you could say no to your Father? Or did you also want to further your house ambitions, as well as your Fathers political schemes! Was our friendship a farce? A means to a end?" the room was silent, Alicent at a lost for words no thoughts could come to mind as to articulate how sorry she was.

Rhaenyra was panting heavily after her spiel of words and anger. Alicent began to speak,

"Rhaenyra I assure you our friendship was not a farce I truly deeply care for you, and as for my I suppose we shall call it attempted betrothal to your Father my Father did indeed tell me what to do but indeed it was my choice in what to do and for that I am sorry I chose the wrong one, although I may not agree with how you have been betrothed to your Father due to my religion I will not treat you any differently if you choose to continue our friendship Rhaenyra, I truly do love you my friend."

With that both women began to tear up and quickly they ran into a embrace of each other

"I'm sorry Alicent but your Father is still a massive cunt"

after a long conversation re-igniting the friendship between the two of them the mid-day turned to night and Alicent went to her room. Rhaenyra prepared for bed and as she finally made her way to bed she broke down into tears although she put on a strong face in front of all she was scared, scared of having to marry her own Father yes the prospect enticed her she still had her doubts but she would not back out of it, and along with her fear she was still mourning the loss of her Mother as she was also going to have to replace her and also...bear her Fathers children..a duty her Mother died in. This truly terrified Rhaenyra.
