Chapter 18 (Baela VI)
Baela was happy for her sister. Being able to marry her hand Lord Torrhen Manderly was great for the cause. This secured the North and their army should the Reach, Storm Lands, or Westerlands rebel, though they were all still weak. The North however were not war ravaged. The Manderlys were able to strengthen their trade as they were dependable. So marrying the second son of the richest family is the north wasn't a bad idea. Plus her sister would still be in King's Landing as her husband was not the Lord of White Harbor.
Soon after Princess Rhaena Manderly had her first child, whom she named Daemon after her father, as he had the targaryen silver and purple eye look. There was a year apart between Princess Laena and Lord Daemon but they grew close. Lord Daemon had a dragon, a dark blue fierce hatchling. Soon the two cousins (although they could be considered half-siblings for their mothers being twins) would be flying from the time Laena was 7 and Daemon 6.
Queen Baela would soon have another child when Laena was 3, another girl this time named Princess Rhaenys after their grandmother, looking the typical Valyrian look. A little later that year Rhaena had twin sons naming them Corlys and Rodrik, Corlys having Silver hair of Valyria and brown eyes, Rodrik having brown hair and purple eyes. All three would be dragon riders. Princess Rhaenys and her cousin Lord Corlys mimicked their older siblings, whilst Rodrik was not know for keeping attention to any women, always preferring to be with his favorite Lord Darklyn, the fourth son of the House Darklyn a squire.
