Rhaella Targaryen - 1 week later - Near Harrenhal
She and the Royal Family were making their way towards Harrenhal, she wasn't excited to see that old castle. But she was very happy to meet her lost grandson. Elia and Rhaegar looked tense all the time. Aegon, Rhaenys, and Dany had no idea what was happening. They had asked her, many times about the tourney but she didn't answer any of them. Viserys on the other hand looked bored and didn't care.
Since she had known about her secret grandson, she wanted nothing else but to bring him here as soon as possible. According to Varys, half of the Riverlands were loyal to them. Not that she trusted the eunuch, he was a Spider full of Secrets and secrets are worth more than gold and gems.
Thankfully she had her web of spies in Riverlands and knew most of the lords didn't care about Hoster Tully.
She was happy that Rhaegar and Elia accepted the betrothal between Aegon and Margaery that would give them more chances to win if the worse came.
She had met the girl once or twice but she found she didn't like her that much. She pretended all the time, like there's no one else like her and acting like House Tyrell was in charge of Seven Kingdoms.
She instead meets with Lady Olenna, she talked always with a backup plan for whatever they would talk about as she did.
When it came to StormLands. Thankfully Stannis was loyal and not that many lords of StormLands cared about Renly Baratheon, who seemed to have second thoughts about Rhaegar.
She made sure to not tell Rhaegar and Elia how Jon was treated according to Varys, she didn't need to add more wood to the fire but at the same time, she felt guilty. She felt like she wanted the traitors to go away without punishment just because she didn't want a War. She would make sure Lord Stark losses his head for what he did. He deserved that.
Sometimes she wondered how Jaehaerys looked like, she imagined him like Rhaegar when he was a boy but with long dark hair and dark grey eyes. Sadly she didn't know Lyanna that well, so she didn't remember that much from her.
Rhaegar told her about the letter uncle Aemon send to them, she was glad Jaehaerys knew the truth but she hoped, he wouldn't try to confront Lord Stark about the truth. She didn't know what Lord Stark might do.
"We Stop Here, to Rest" Rhaegar ordered and they stopped moving.
She comes out and sees her son with Arthur, possibly talking about the tourney.
She saw as Dany and Rhae were going away somewhere followed by Rhaenys's uncle, Aegon was staying with Ser Barristan and pretending he was a king's guard, which made the old Knight laugh.
Rhaella slowly walk to her son, Arthur noticed her first "Your grace" he said respectfully.
"Rhaegar can we talk alone," Rhaella asked and saw a surprising look from Rhaegar for a second.
He nodded "Of course mother," he said in agreement and they walk away followed by Arthur and Ser Jaime, they were far behind to not be heard by them. She didn't miss the cold look Arthur gave to Jaime.
She hated that the other Kings Guard didn't like Jaime, She still remembered what he told her what happened that day in Kings Landing.
' She was waiting for him to enter, the door opens and Jaime walks inside, when he turns to her, he looked surprised and scared, he looked like a little boy who was caught stealing cake. "Your grace," he said respectfully and bend the knee immediately.
"Rise Ser Jaime, I need to ask you something," She said kindly, Jaime gets up and smiles a little but removes it immediately.
"Anything your grace" He responded and looked to be afraid or sad.
She made a sign with her hand and he sits on a chair which was close to her.
"I wanted to ask you, why, why did he wanted to do it?" She asked kindly and making him look at her.
He sighed and looked like he was reliving the worst day in his life, "I don't know, I don't understand, he looked a bit happy when word came that the king won against Robert, I was happy too but then, the king, his eyes turned complete white for a split second and turned back to normal, I didn't give that much attention but when father came saying he wanted entrance in the city, the old maester Pyrcell said they should open it but the king refused immediately, and when the army of the king came, he wanted to burn down everything, he ordered 'Burn Them All' I don't know, I think he expected to reborn as a Dragon" Jaime stopped talking and there were tears in his eyes.
"You did the right thing, and whoever tells you otherwise is a fool," she said seriously trying to make him feel better, he looks down but she puts her hand on his face and he looks at her and smiles.
"Thank You, your grace," he said honestly.
"You can call me Rhaella in private," she said and Jaime just nodded and looked away.
"I should leave now," she said and gets up and walks towards the door.
"Thank You Rhaella," Jaime said, she turns to him snd smiles "No, Thank You," she said and left the room.'
"What is that you wanted to talk about?" Rhaegar asked looking at her.
"I wanted to ask what are your plans for the north?" She asked.
He sighs and looks at the fields "As much as I would want to put Richard as Warden of The North, I can't, they would never accept him, so I think we should leave the north to Lord Stark's heir Robb Stark" Rhaegar answered honestly.
She just nodded her head in agreement "Will there be punishment for Lady Stark?" She asked and he looked at her a bit confused.
"You think she knew the truth," he asked but she didn't know the answer to that but she wouldn't be surprised if she did. Treating her grandson like garbage, she wouldn't have that.
"I think so" she responded and saw the look of anger in Rhaegar.
"If she did, then she will be sent to Silent Sisters and Eddard Stark will lose his head," Rhaegar said seriously.
"I agree, Rhaegar, I just hope to meet him soon, and hope he will accept us," she said sadly and Rhaegar just looks down.
She knew he didn't want to see him cry, he turns to the other way "I hope the same, he will be the happiest boy in the world" Rhaegar said sadly and with a hint of happiness when he mentioned him.
"Let's return Rhaegar, we are close to Harrenhal," Rhaella said and kissed her son in the cheek, he looked surprised and at that moment he looked like a little boy.
Rhaenys Targaryen
She was with Dany far away from the others, Dany was looking at the flowers and she was more interested in the upcoming Tourney.
She wanted to be in the tourney but her father told her she couldn't be for whatever reason.
Aegon could be but he was only 12 name days and he was still very young.
Viserys on the other hand was no warrior and didn't care to become one.
Uncle Oberyn said he would be in the tourney and crown her Queen of Love and Beauty. She was happy about that but she wanted to be part of the tourney and not just watch.
Uncle Oberyn told her about what the old Tyrell said about Willas Tyrell and she didn't want a betrothal with a Tyrell, Margaery was already very annoying and she didn't want to look just as a baby maker and nothing else. She wanted someone who would see her as a warrior and a smart woman.
She hasn't told anyone except Dany, but she still thought about the boy in her dreams she saw when she was younger, is been years since the last time, she saw him but she felt like she had a connection with him despite not knowing who he was.
"Dany" she called her and she turns to her.
"Yes Rhae" she responded with her childish tone. "Why do you think, we're having this tourney?" She asked.
"I told you, I think is to find, boring lords for us," she said with an annoyed tone.
"I hope not, I don't care to belong to anyone right now" she responded.
"Well, Rhae, I don't think meeting a boy is the end of the world, maybe you will meet him," she said with a little smile.
"Who?" She asked looking at her suspiciously.
Dany instead rolled her eyes "Nevermind" she said.
"How about, we ride, I would like to ride myself to Harrenhal" she suggested and Rhae wanted the same. Both of them liked to ride.
"I would love that, that's why I should be in the joust," she said, and Dany chuckle.
"What's so funny?" She asked looking at her.
"Nothing but you forgot the part where you should hit the one who's coming at you and you don't know how to do that" Dany responded.
"It shouldn't be that hard" she responded and gets up and looks at the sky.
"Have you heard about the rumors of the dragon around StormLands?" She asked looking at the birds flying.
Dany gets up too "Yes, since that day I look at the sky sometimes expecting a dragon to show up," she said with a hint of excitement in her tone.
"Can you imagine it, flying, I would be able to go everywhere around the world, from the Lands of Always Winter to Asshai" she responded imagining how it would feel to fly.
"I don't think, the dragons like the cold" Dany said and Rhae turns to her "What?" She asked.
"You said you want to go beyond the wall but dragons don't like the cold" she responded grinning.
"Still, would be fun to be up there" she responded with a sad tone.
Dany walks to her and grabs her hand "You alright Rhae?" She asked concerned.
"I'm fine Dany, just thinking of impossible things," she said and they start walking back towards the others.
"Maybe that's not impossible Rhae, maybe dragons will return," she said and Rhae smiled "Let's hope so" as they keep walking.
"Have you noticed anything different in my brother Rhae?" Dany asked and she looks at her and thinks.
"Other than them acting different and not telling us anything about the turney" she responded.
"I know but since we left Kings Landing, brother and aunt Elia looks very tense" she answered and Rhae raised her eyebrows.
"Why would they be tense?" She asked Dany who shrugged her shoulders.
Rhaenys thinks about it and thinks that maybe it's because they're close to RiverRun, her mother always told her that Tully and Lannisters cannot be trusted.
"Perhaps that we're close to Riverrun" Rhae answered and Dany just nodded her head.
They returned and saw Egg training with Ser Barristan and her father and mother were looking at Egg as he was sparring.
The sword fell to the ground, and Egg had his hands up in surrender.
"Very good your grace but you should be faster" Ser Barristan advised and Egg nodded with a smile.
"Egg, how about a spar?" She asked moving forward.
Egg looked at her happy "Of course big sister" he said in agreement, she walks forward and unsheathes her sword.
It was made like Dark Sister and she loved her sword and calling it 'Dragon's Eye' she knew it wasn't made of Valyria steel but still was very sharp and she liked using it.
Egg swings at her to her shoulder but Rhae blocks it and moves to her right, she swings at his left but he quickly blocks it with his sword and moves away.
Rhae started moving around him like a snake, she swings at his legs but he blocks it and pushes away her sword.
"Enough now, we need to leave" father ordered and she sighs in disappointment. She puts down her sword "Soon, I will be as good as you sister" Aegon said kindly.
"Keep dreaming, Egg" she responded with a chuckle and so did Egg.
Night
' She was in a large field, but the grass was burning everywhere, she could only see fire, but the fire wasn't burning her despite being very close, she keeps looking around but she couldn't understand where she was.
She looks up and sees a dragon black as night with pure Wildfire eyes, she notices riding him was a man or a boy with Wildfire eyes, he was looking at her with hateful eyes.
She understood it was the man from her dreams. "Who are you?" She asked loudly.
The man wasn't answering, instead, tears roll down his cheek, and were tears of blood. The dragon near him roars.
"Tolvys zaltis (Everyone Must Burn)" she heard him say and the dragon breath wildfire towards her '
She wakes up sweating, she gets up and looks around afraid but she doesn't see anything unusual.
She gets up and looks outside the window, she sees something moving high in the sky, she focuses and notices that looked like a dragon.
Dacey Mormont
She meets with Lord Stark and GreatJon and SmallJon and Lord Howland Reed and sadly with Lord Bolton at White Harbor. She was happy that The North would be in this tourney.
They decided to stay a night in White Harbor before making their way towards Harrenhal.
She like everyone else had heard about how Robb Stark, the heir of Winterfell was spending the whole time with the ironborn.
She couldn't understand what Ned was even thinking, leaving his heir to spend time with the IronBorn. She would never let any of her children to spend time with an Ironborn, let alone the heir.
But she had heard about Jon Snow, the bastard having a Direwolf, a full-grown one. She even heard that Robb Stark attacked his brother from behind and stood with Theon against his brother. She didn't believe these rumors, she knew Ned would never let his heir become like that.
Right now she was looking as the heir was staying with the Greyjoy boy, and not standing with true sons of the North. GreatJon had noticed that and was shooting glares at Robb Stark and Ned Stark.
She was looking around but couldn't see Jon Snow anywhere. Howland was looking at Ned with an angry look. Ned Stark was just eating his food, close to him was the southern woman.
"Ned" she called and he turns to her.
"Yes Lady Mormont" Ned answered quietly but his eyes would often go to his son Robb.
"Where's your son, Jon Snow?" She asked quietly and saw both GreatJon, Lord Reed and Lord Bolton raise their heads and leaning closer to hear what he has to say.
Before Ned could answer, GreatJon interrupted "Yes, where's the lad, I heard he has a Direwolf as big as a horse" GreatJon said laughing already half drunk.
Instead of a smile on Ned's face, he looked like someone had thrown cold water in his face.
"Yes, the direwolf is named Winter, she's larger than any horse" the little girl with dark hair who only could be Arya Stark answered excitedly. GreatJon seemed surprised, he then turns to Ned.
"Where is he?" It was the cold tone of Roose Bolton who asked looking at Ned.
That man always sends shivers in her body, he looked more like a dead man than alive.
If The Others truly existed then Roose Bolton was one of them.
Ned sighed "He's in Winterfell" he answered quietly.
"What? Why?" GreatJon asked disappointed and she was too.
Lord Stark sighed and looks away for a moment and then turns to them, "Because he's a bastard and he doesn't belong here," Lady Southern said with a cold tone, she hated the lad. Lord Reed was looking at them furiously. Dacey was looking at Lady Southern with disgust.
GreatJon looked ready to slap the southern whore.
Dacey looks at Ned and waits for him to say something against what she said but instead, he was just standing there like she said nothing. She couldn't understand why Ned was acting like that.
She knew the South hates bastards but in The North, they were never looked down like in the South.
GreatJon was shooting deadly glares at the southern lady.
"From what I hear, you're jealous, that Jon Snow has a Direwolf and your Trueborn sons don't have," Roose Bolton said coldly.
Lady Southern looked like someone had slapped her in the face. Ned looks at Roose Bolton angry and looked like he wanted to say something.
Dacey didn't want to admit it but she was thinking the same as Lord Bolton and from what she could see GreatJon was thinking the same. Lord Reed was looking at Ned with disappointment all over his face and rage.
She shook her head in disappointment, she couldn't understand why not bring the lad with
him.
"I heard he bested, both the Greyjoy boy and your son Robb, Lord Stark" Lord Reed states with a smirk.
Ned was looking at him angrily but before he could answer "That's true, I was there, Jon is better than anyone" Arya Stark said loudly for everyone in the hall to hear, even lord Manderly looked surprised by that. Dacey was happy that she praised her brother.
"Arya, eat your food," Lady Southern said trying to sound strong. Dacey rolled her eyes at her tone.
She sees little Arya walking to her "Can we spar?" She asked and she smiled.
"Of course little she-wolf" she responded happily thinking that at least one of them seemed to be a true northern.
Sansa Stark looks to be having her head in the clouds she thought. She talked with her when Lord Stark meet with them. She couldn't stop talking about The South and heroes in songs, saying how should make the perfect Queen of The Seven Kingdoms. She couldn't understand how Ned could have left his children to become Southerners.
In the training yard, Arya grabs a wooden sword and raises it towards her.
She raised her sparring sword, she let her swing and she easily blocks them but she was impressed. She wasn't fully clueless at swinging a sword.
It didn't take long and her wooden sword was on the ground.
"Who teaches you to spar?" She asked looking at the she-wolf.
Arya looks at her with awe "Jon, he teaches me, my mom always said I shouldn't learn how to fight but I like it" she responded with a smile.
"Perhaps, after this tourney, you can come to Bear Island, everyone there is like you, we can teach you how to ride and spar," she said and saw Arya's eyes widened.
"Thank You, Thank You," she said and hugs her.
She pulls away and looks down at the ground.
"You alright she-wolf?" She asked putting the sword back in its place.
"I'm fine, is . . . Is just Jon, He wanted to come but father ordered him to stay" she said quietly and to say Dacey was shocked was an understatement.
Order him to not come, Why? She asked herself.
She never expected this, Jon either did something wrong or maybe Ned was just jealous.
"Why?" She asked seriously, little she-wolf put the wooden sword against a tree.
She turns to her "I don't know, father looked very angry, Jon did nothing but it was always like this when it came to Jon" she answered quietly almost afraid.
"What do you mean?" She asked curiously and putting her hand on her shoulder.
"Father never paid attention to him, that's why he left, father abandoned him, that's why he left so many times" she answered crying and trying to remove them.
"Don't worry I will talk with Ned" she responded and hugs the little she-wolf.
Jaehaerys Targaryen
He was in the forest near Harrenhal, he was far enough to not be seen by anyone. He missed Winter but he knew she would come to him as soon as possible. Close to him was Bloodfyre, he was waiting for the others to arrive. He wasn't sure how to even approach his family, Howland told him that they already knew the truth about him but he still wasn't sure how to do it.
One thing was sure he would take revenge for what Lord Stark did, he would make all of them pay. But he still wasn't sure if his real family would love him despite what Lord Reed said about his father and Queen Elia.
But his mind would often go back to what Bloodfyre said when they passed The Neck.
' He was flying and he was still furious with Lord Stark and his precious Lady Stark, they will all burn, I will burn them myself Jae thought and he still felt the fire in his eyes and now close to Bloodfyre, he felt that fire even more than ever.
Lord Stark was willing to go so far and lock him away just to make sure he doesn't see his family, one part of Jae understood him, if they find out the truth, House Stark might lose everything and people always are willing to go very far to protect their family.
"Jaehaerys, I Feel Something," Bloodfyre said and roared
"What do you mean? What do you feel?" He asked concerned looking down at his face.
"A Dragon, I feel a Dragon" Bloodfyre responded, his head looking towards the east, and roared again.
A dragon, Jae was surprised, Bloodraven didn't mention there was any dragon out there except Bloodfyre.
"Is he similar to you or like the dragons 150 years ago?" Jae asked looking in the direction where Bloodfyre was looking but he couldn't see anything except clouds and sky.
"He's not like me but he's neither like them, he doesn't feel like any other dragon I have felt before" Bloodfyre responded excitedly and roared again.
"What do you mean? How can you know?" Jaehearys asked.
"I just . . . Know, I can feel it, I don't know how he's different but he is" Bloodfyre responded and roared again.
"Is he near right now?" Jaehearys asked not knowing if he wanted to see another dragon, especially if he was unfriendly.
"No, Right now he's not, I will tell you if he gets closer to us" Bloodfyre responded and they keep flying towards Harrenhal.
"Do you think he might attack us?" Jaehearys asked not wanting that dragon to attack his family.
"I don't think so, dragons are violent to other people only if they try to get close to their territory or if their rider tells them to be violent" Bloodfyre responded and roared again this time louder.
That didn't make him feel better, he didn't know if the dragon had a rider.
Jaehearys couldn't understand why he was roaring.
"Why are you roaring and can you know if he has a rider?" Jae asked and Bloodfyre roared again.
"I want to know if he can hear me, and I can't know if a dragon has a rider"
Bloodfyre kept roaring for a few more minutes but no dragon shows up.
When he first saw Harrenhal, he was surprised that the castle could even stand without crumbling to the ground.
After 2 Days
More and more people were coming, he saw his family from afar, but he wanted to see what kind of people they are before going to them.
Jae trusted Lord Stark, he thought he loved him but in the end, he was the one who ruined his life and now he knew the truth. Now he wanted to see how House Targaryen was.
Jae was only a kid but even he knew having a dragon was Power, he wanted to know if they will just see him as a power to wield around.
So far he had seen through birds and rats and even dogs to see what they talked about, to see what kind of people they were.
So far he had seen his sister spar with Daenerys Targaryen, who was his aunt.
His brother Aegon or egg as he heard his sister and every one of his family call him.
He found that nickname 'good', Aemon told him that his brother Aegon, had that nickname too.
He still remembered what his uncle told him after he returned from his uncle Brynden.
' "Uncle Aemon" he greeted him as he entered his room. His uncle looks at him with a smile, Jae he liked that smile, it was the smile he always wanted from who he thought was his father, a smile of Love.
"You back my dear boy" uncle Aemon responded happily and spreading his arms and Jae hugs him.
"Where were you?" He asked but from his tone, Jae could tell he already knew.
"Bloodraven" Jae responded and saw his uncle's face twitch.
His uncle looked to be thinking about it "How was he?" He asked after a few moments of silence.
Jae sits on the chair near his uncle "He was . . . Fine, I think" Jae answered.
"How are you, my boy?" He asked with a hint of concern.
"I . . . I Don't know" Jae answered and looking down.
"I feel Very Angry, I just want to go back to Winterfell and make him pay for what I have SUffered," Jae said angrily and closing his fist so hard, turning his knuckles white as snow.
He felt a hand on his shoulder and looks up to see his uncle looking at him with a sad smile.
"I understand my boy, but you should know how to control your anger," his uncle said.
"I heard you have a dragon" his uncle stated.
"Yes, uncle Aemon" he answered.
His uncle seemed to be thinking and his hand go to his hands and holds them.
"My boy, having a dragon gives you power, remember that, people will try to use that power, to be part of that power, you should be careful who you trust but you can always trust your family, after all, We're nothing Without Family," his uncle said.
"Thank You uncle" Jae responded with a tear in his eye. When it came to family, Jaehaerys didn't know what that was.
"Now, how does he look like?" Uncle Aemon asked curiously.
He smiled "He's . . . He's Cannibal, and he's dark as night, with green eyes" Uncle Aemon looked very surprised.
"I have read for him, be careful, he's not like everyone else, he never was," uncle Aemon said with a kind tone. '
A part of him wanted to meet them right now but he decided to wait a little longer.
Rhaegar Targaryen - 6 Days Later
To say he was angry to meet them was an understatement, now they were waiting for The North to come here. The other kingdoms had come and yet he had to meet some of them, like Tywin Lannister or Olenna Tyrell.
He didn't know what Tywin wanted to talk to him about, possibly for a marriage between his worthless nephew and Daenerys.
Ashara had come here too and to his surprise, she brought her son Richard, he didn't know why he came but if he had to guess, Richard wanted to meet his uncle and cousins but Rhaegar knew, all that will go down the drain.
Elia has been very tense since they came to Harrenhal and so was his mother to his surprise. One of the things he didn't understand was the rumors about the dragon.
When they arrived here, some soldiers had reported that they heard loud noises at night, sounding like the screeching of an animal.
He had sent some soldiers to look but so far none of them had seen anything.
The door opens and he sees Lord Stark walking inside along with his family, his eyes looked at who was with him and he couldn't see him anywhere. He didn't see anyone matching his appearance. He swallowed a huge breath and felt his heart beating faster. He looked at the man who stole his son. He was standing there like everything was fine. He was just standing there.
His mind keeps telling him to beat him, to throw him in the dungeons. To kill him.
He noticed Elia was tense too, and he was closing his fist so hard, for a moment he thought he would draw blood.
"Your grace" he greeted and bend the knee and so did his lords and his children.
"Rise" Rhaegar responded with an emotionless tone.
They rise and he looks at the others, a boy with thick red-brown hair and blue eyes steps forward.
"Your grace, this is my heir Robb Stark," he said and Rhaegar looks at the young man.
"This is my lady wife, Catelyn Stark," he said and the woman near Lord Stark bows her head in respect.
"My name is Jon Umber," a giant man said with a northern accent.
"My name is Howland Reed, your grace" the man answered and his eyes went straight to him. He was the other one who was responsible. Rhaegar knew he sends the letter and perhaps he felt guilty for what he did but Rhaegar would punish him too.
The others introduced themselves and left, Rhaegar's whole mind was on his son and he could see he wasn't here. He felt like he's going to cry but he needed to be strong. He was a King.
"In Rhaegar's solar now," His mother said with authority. Rhaegar and Elia turn to her and Dany. Rhaenys and Egg look at her confused but follow her anyway.
They reached his solar and he just dropped himself in his chair "He hasn't come" Elia said with tears in her eyes. He puts his hands on his face.
Before her mother could speak "Who hasn't come Muna?" Rhaenys asked looking at Elia. Egg was more focused on his grandmother.
"It doesn't matter right now, my little girl" his mother looking at Rhaenys with love then she turns to Rhaegar "I had a man to check on them and none of them saw anyone with his appearance" his mother responded angrily and furious.
"What should we do?" Elia asked looking at her mother then to him.
Rhaegar was too deep in his thoughts to answer, he was still very angry to respond to her question.
Is all my fault, We Left Him, we should have Known. WE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN FROM THE VERY BEGINNING Rhaegar thought and tears were coming out but he quickly removed them.
"We can send someone to retrieve him" His mother suggested.
"Retrieve Who?" Egg asked loudly and getting up.
"For who you're talking about?" Aegon asked seriously with a high tone looking at everyone.
"Your Grace" was Arthur who came inside and to his surprise, he didn't knock.
"I'm sorry for interrupting but Lord Howland Reed said he wanted to talk with the King" Ser Arthur said looking at him waiting for his order.
He gets up immediately"Tell him to come here, Arthur you will stay here and tell Ser Barristan to come here" Rhaegar ordered and Arthur left.
"Who is he?" His sister asked looking at him.
"Children, you're going to your rooms," Elia said but Rhaenys turns to her "No, I'm staying here," she said determined and crossing her arms letting them know, she would never move away.
"Let them stay, they will find out, one way or another" His mother said looking at Rhaenys with a smile. Elia sighed heavily and everyone sits in their place.
It didn't take long and Arthur and Ser Barristan comes inside followed by Lord Reed, who was looking at him with guilt and shame.
Arthur and Barristan move close to him, their hands to their swords.
"Well, you know why you're here," his mother said looking at the man like she wanted to burn him.
Lord Reed was keeping his head down and nodded "Yes, your grace, I will tell you everything" he said with a broken tone, and then his eyes go to Rhaegar.
"11 years ago, when you send Lord Stark to retrieve Lyanna Stark, we had our plan to bring her to the North, we thought she would be happy there, Winterfell was her home, not The South, when we reached the tower, Ser Gerold was there with five men, Lord Stark didn't show them your letter to stand down, we fought and in the end, only me, Lord Stark and Ser Gerold were left, he started fighting Lord Stark but I thrust a sword behind his neck" saying that part and Ser Arthur stepped forward "You Coward" he yelled at him but Rhaegar raised his hand to shut him.
Arthur looks at him ready to protest but then he takes a step back.
"Continue" He ordered emotionless but it was taking everything from Rhaegar to not order to cut him down.
"After he was dead, we heard Lyanna scream, Lord Stark went inside running and I waited outside, I was injured and waited, it didn't take long and Lord Stark came outside with a baby boy".
Rhaenys Targaryen
She heard the part about the little boy and her mind went blank.
A Brother, My Little Brother
She thought happy and sad.
I have another brother she thought happily.
She looks to her left and sees Egg looking at the man with furious eyes, Dany was angry too but she was trying to stay calm.
She wanted to ask where was her little brother. She felt good and was happy that Mother Lyanna's child survived.
Rhaenys then understood everything why his father, mother, and grandmother were acting strangely.
Her mind then went back to the boy in her dreams.
Is He?
Aegon Targaryen
He heard that part but still couldn't believe it, his mind kept repeating what the man said about his second mother Lyanna Stark.
Lord Stark came outside with a baby boy.
He felt his anger rise, he wanted to beat the man for hiding his little brother. He looked at his father and saw he was trying to stay calm but his eyes were furious like never before.
He was furious too, but he had a question in his mind Where was He?
Aegon then understood everything why his father, mother, and grandmother were acting strangely.
Daenerys Targaryen
She listened to the man when he said that Lord Stark came out with a baby boy. Her first thought was.
Is he alive and if he is where is he?
She asked herself and felt happy that they had someone else and her good sister's child didn't die. Now it all made sense why the tourney, why his brother and mother and aunt Elia were acting Strangely.
She was happy but at the same time angry, she wanted to meet him and know him.
Elia Martell
"After he returned, we agreed that Lord Stark would raise him as his bastard son Jon Snow, but he promised me, he would raise him like his Trueborn children" Howland was interrupted by her good mother.
"You thought, he would be raised like them, how can you be so stupid," Rhaella said almost screaming. Looking at ready to burn him to ashes.
She couldn't understand how he ever thought that Her son would be treated like Lord Stark's trueborn children.
She puts her hands on her eyes to remove the tears, she then looks back at the man in front of them.
The man had tears in his eyes and looks at them.
"After . . . After The Greyjoy Rebellion, I visited Winterfell, to see him, how he was and . . . And I saw he was suffering" Elia couldn't hold her tears anymore, her anger.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU MONSTER?" She asked screaming at him and she wanted to burn him for what he did.
He swallowed hard and was sweating everywhere "When I saw him, he was going to his room, I asked how he was treated, he didn't answer, he looked scared of me, he thought I would hurt him, I saw he didn't eat the food and I gave him food," he said and takes a deep breath.
"He had very bad clothes, all of them had cuts around and he was freezing, sometimes I even wonder how he survived. It took a week but he opened up to me and told me everything" he said and stopped talking, his tears falling.
"And, what happened?" Rhaegar asked looking at him with pure hatred.
"Your grace I," he said bur Rhaegar raises his hand "I want to know everything he told you" Rhaegar ordered with a tone cold as ice but Elia could see he was close to a breakdown and so she was. Rhaella on the other hand was calmer.
"He told me that, every time he would be good at anything, there was punishment, his food would be very salty, he couldn't eat no matter how hard he tried, he said he would sleep in his bed hungry and cold, there would be no wood in his room, he said that he took food from the kitchen a few times during the night but they caught him and he was locked in his room for two days, no food or water. His room was very small and very far from everyone else.
I told Lord Stark to let me raise him, but he refused, As long as I stayed I gave him better clothes and food, and I promised him to visit him as often as I could" he stopped talking and was breathing heavily.
He swallowed again "That went for 2 years but then he changed," Lord Reed said with a little smile.
"What do you mean?" Rhaegar asked looking at him.
"He started spending more time in Wolfswood than in Winterfell, he started hunting animals, at first I thought he was just very good at hunting but once, I and him went together to hunt, when I visited him that time, he looked more happy and healthy. When we went hunting, he introduced me to his direwolf 'Winter'" he said and Rhaenys asked.
"Direwolf, he has a direwolf?" She asked surprised.
Lord Reed nodded with a smile "Yes, that beast is larger than a horse, and she let Jaehaerys ride her" "Prince Jaehaerys" Rhaegar said looking at him.
Lord Reed nodded "Prince Jaehaerys. He showed me he could warg," he said and Daenerys asked.
"What's warging?" She asked and everyone was interested to know.
"Warging is when you can see through the eyes of an animal, you can control them, Prince Jaehaerys can warg into his direwolf, and from what I saw he could do the same with many other animals" Lord Reed answered and Elia wasn't sure what to think of that.
My son can control animals she thought.
"After that day, He spends less and less time in Winterfell and he looked to not want to stay there anymore, until a month and two weeks ago when he disappeared, but then he returned after 17 days," Lord Reed said happily.
"Where was he?" Rhaegar asked, his eyes full of tears.
"He told, he was at the wall to meet someone, that's all he told me" Lord Reed responded.
"The last time I saw him was over 2 weeks ago, he came to my castle, and wanted an audience with me, he told me he knew everything about what I and Lord Stark did" he stopped talking and looks at Rhaegar.
"He asked me about you and asked if we took him because you didn't love him but I told him the truth and then he started crying," Lord Reed said and tears were rolling down his cheek. Rhaegar couldn't hold it anymore and neither could Elia.
"Then he asked me about Lyanna, to tell him everything I knew about her" Lord Reed stopped talking and lowers his head and looks at the ground.
"Do you Understand What You Have Done?" Rhaegar asked looking at Lord Reed with hateful eyes.
"I Know your grace and I will accept any punishment but please don't hurt my family" he begged.
Elia wanted to say NO, he hurt our family, how does he expect we wouldn't do the same for him.
"You STOLE MY SON" Rhaegar yelled at him and gets up and Elia thought he would beat him.
Lord Reed didn't respond, he just looks down, Rhaegar moves closer.
"Where is he?" It was Rhaella who asked.
"Lord Stark said he left him in Winterfell" Howland responded.
"Take Him Away and don't try to run away Lord Reed. This isn't over" Rhaegar ordered and his tone full of hate.
Ser Barristan and Ser Arthur took Lord Reed away and left them here to think about what he said.
She couldn't stop crying, how much he has suffered, and for what.
Rhaegar was crying too and she now noticed his palm was bleeding. Rhaella was standing close to Dany, Rhae, and Egg.
"Go to your rooms, and don't go anywhere" Rhaella ordered and they leave. Egg was looking very angry, Rhae was looking sadder and Dany was just crying.
I'm sorry, I'm so Sorry Lyanna. I Failed You
She thought and felt Rhaegar hugging her close. She couldn't do anything else right now, only share the grief with him.
Catelyn Tully Stark
She arrived in Harrenhal when she saw Princess Rhaenys and Princess Daenerys. Her mind immediately thought.
One of them could be the perfect bride for My Robb, what better Bride than a Princess.
She thought and decided to ask Ned tonight if he could talk with the king about a betrothal between Princess Rhaenys and Robb or Princess Daenerys and Robb.
Right now she was walking to where the tents of House Tully were, is been a long time since she saw her brother and uncle, and she wanted to see her nephews and niece.
She reaches the tent and the soldiers didn't try to stop her. She walks inside and sees her brother and her uncle standing close.
She looks around but doesn't Cersei Tully or any of her brother's children.
"Edmure" she called and he looks at her and smiles, he gets up and walks towards her, she spreads her arms and hugs him.
"Is been a long time" he said smiling and looking at her face.
"You look happy," he said and she nodded and turns to her uncle.
"Uncle Brynden" she greeted him and he hugs her "How are you, my beautiful niece?" He asked looking at her with a smile.
"I'm fine," she said looking at him then she looks around "I thought Lysa would be here?" She asked looking at her uncle then to Edmure.
Her brother releases a sad sigh "She didn't come, I don't know why, and neither did the old man Frey or any of his many sons" her brother responded with a sad smile and she sighed in disappointment.
"Where's your wife then and my nephews and niece?" She asked wanting to meet them.
"Cersei took them to meet their grandfather, Lord Tywin" he responded with a hint of fear at the end and Catelyn noticed that.
"When can I meet them?" She asked.
"Tomorrow, I'm sure" her brother answered quickly and her uncle was looking at him suspiciously.
"Now, what about your children how are they?" Edmure asked with a smile.
"They're with Ned and They're very well but Rickon is still just a baby, Bran likes to climb, he's already trying to climb on things around his room" she responded with a chuckle and her brother chuckles too.
"Arya, she's wild, or how Ned would call her a 'She-Wolf' " she responded and thinking about her little wild daughter.
"Sansa, she's just like me, a perfect lady" she responded proudly.
"And Robb, he's very good, he's a good warrior and very smart, he will become the best lord of Winterfell" she responded and saw her uncle smile proudly.
She then looks at her brother "What about you? How is Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen?" She asked smiling.
Dacey Mormont
She couldn't believe it, The heir of Winterfell went to a brothel with that Ironborn scum.
No, This can't happen, I don't know if Ned knows but he better teaches him the northern way.
She thought and angry with Ned.
During their travels towards Harrenhal, Robb Stark spend the entire time with the Ironborn, SmallJon tried to get in conversation with him but he said that the boy was cocky and very annoying.
She still remembered what he said about his brother Jon Snow.
"How is Jon Snow at fighting?" GreatJon asked looking at Robb Stark.
He rolled his eyes "He's good but not better than me" he answered with an annoying tone.
"From what I heard, He beat both you and the Greyjoy?" Howland asked with a smirk and getting a cold look from Ned.
Robb turned red from anger "Who cares, he's just a bastard, he will rot at the wall and I will become Lord of Winterfell" he said proudly for himself. '
She couldn't understand why Ned left him to become like that but she would talk to him and stop this nonsense.
Elia Martell - Night
She went inside their bed chamber with Rhaegar, she was still thinking about what Lord Reed said to them.
The last time she remembered she was so sad was when Lya died.
Rhaegar was holding her hands tightly almost afraid to let it go.
She sits on the bed with him, he looks down and his hands on his face. "Rhaegar" she called him quietly and touching his head.
"I Failed Her Elia, I failed both of them," he said crying again. She hugs him close.
"No, you didn't, Jaehaerys will return to us, and he . . . He will be happy with us" Elia said trying hard to not cry with him.
Rhaegar was still looking down "How do you know? Is our fault he was raised like that, I failed, He Will Never Love Us," he said resting his head on her shoulder.
She swallowed hard "He doesn't know what a family is Rhaegar, we will show him love all his life, even if he never forgives us, We will be there For Him Always," she said and a tear roll down her cheek.
Rhaegar pulls away and lays on the bed and she lays near him, she rests her head on his chest.
