Year 280 AC.

King's Landing - Dragonstone

Her wedding had been a grand affair, her father had looked so proud as he walked her down the aisle of Baelor's Sept. She had painted a smile on her for his sake and said her vows dutifully. And at night she had lain with Rhaegar, who had been kind to her and so she decided that her dislike towards him could be put aside, if partly.

She convinced the Dragon Prince to relocate in Dragonstone as soon as possible; he had agreed and she still had ended up bringing her uncle Gerion with her to Dragonstone. The dark fortress creeped her out as she was used to the bright corridors of the Rock, the only thing she enjoyed of the fortress was the beach that reminded her a little bit of home, she enjoyed her long walks with Gerion while Rhaegar attended his lordly duties.

"It would seem dearest niece that you are unhappy with this marriage" said Gerion one day as they walked on the beach, she looked at him and shrugged.

"Father is happy uncle, his happiness makes me happy" she said as she bent down to pick a colored shell, Gerion laughed.

"Only you little lioness would actually marry solely for the happiness of your father, when you had already a loving wolf" he said, she sighed as she looked at the horizon.

"He told me to run away to essos with him, I couldn't do that to father" she said, turning to look at Gerion, unshed tears in her eyes, her uncle pulled her into a hug and pressed a kiss to her brow.

"We only wanted the best for you little lady, I'm sorry" Gerion sounded apologetic, she let go of him and smiled.

"It's okay uncle Gerion, I will be happy someday" she said and somehow Gerion Lannister believed her.

Several months later in the dark fortress Alessandra gave birth to princess Rhaenys Targaryen, according to Alessandra's calculations the new princess had been conceived in the wedding night. Princess Rhaenys was pretty baby, with a golden tuff of hair on her head a violet eyes, Alessandra had fallen in love with her babe since the moment the Maester had placed her in her arms and understood her parents a little better.

Year 281 AC.

Five moons after the birth of the new princess Rhaegar announced that they were to travel to King's landing to present the babe to his parents. While Alessandra didn't really wanted to go to King's Landing she wanted to visit the Rock and pay a visit to her newly married brother Jaime, who had married Princess Elia early in the year. According to her mother the wedding had been a wonderful affair in Dorne, Princess Elia had looked wonderful dressed in a traditional dornish grab and Jaime had looked every inch the knight he was dressed in traditional Lannister colors; According to letters from Elia herself, the new Lady Lannister was enjoying the Rock very much as the smell of the beach and the sound of the waves reminded her of her home, she also thanked Alessandra for the abundance of lemon cakes that the Rock produced as apparently Lady Joanna had shared a certain story with Princess Elia.

Returning to King's Landing was dreadful after being away from the place for more than a year, her father was the first person to greet her and to see his granddaughter, the smile on Tywin's face, even if it was in the privacy of his chambers, could lit the whole kingdom and Alessandra thought that maybe it would all be worth it in the end. When Aerys Targaryen met his granddaughter, the mad king just huffed and refused to hold her, Alessandra thanked the gods for small mercies, the Queen on the other hand looked delighted with the babe and Alessandra's heart went out to her.

"Lord Whent has invited the whole realm to a Tourney in Harrenhal" said Rhaegar as he entered her rooms, she looked up at him from the bed where she was playing with Rhaenys.

"I will assume that we are to go" she said holding her daughter in her arms and sitting on the bed, Rhaegar sat next to her, smiling to Rhaenys who moved to grab his hand.

"We are" he said, then his voice dropped "My father madness grows and we must do something before he decides to kill me" he said before he pressed a kiss to Alessandra's head, she raised an eyebrow at him.

"This game you are playing is dangerous Rhaegar, do remember that" she said, the silver prince smiled sadly at her.

"I do not understand you" he said after a while, she tilted her head in curiosity "You clearly dislike our marriage, probably dislike me too and yet you manage to care" she snorted at his words.

"The fact that I dislike my current situation does not means that I would like to see you dead, after all you have been nothing but kind to me, my prince, I could have ended up worse" she said suddenly thinking about Cersei and her marriage to Robert and the rumors that Robert was still planning to marry Lyanna Stark one day, Rhaegar chuckled.

"Of course, after all being the future Queen of this realm is that bad" he said, she punched his arm "Ouch?" He said causing her to laugh.

"You are truly the idiot that I mostly think you are if you think that I married you so I could be Queen one day" she said, a smile on her lips. He caressed her face with his hand and smiled.

"I still don't understand most of your motives, my princess, but know that I have come to care for you, hopefully in time you'll care for me too" he said softly before pressing a kiss to her lips, she kissed him back suddenly remembering a different pair of lips and a different time.

She had come to like Rhaegar, she truly had, sadly for her plans to work, she needed him to die.

The trip to Harrenhall had been tiring as she had been confined to a wheelhouse with Ashara, apparently princesses were not allowed to ride to her heart's content, and while Ashara had proved to be a great friend, the trip had been too long for her to truly enjoy. Once in Harrenhall the first thing she did was look for the Stark party, of course with Gerion, Ashara and Arthur trailing her, and greet her friends. Brandon was looking as handsome as ever and promptly pulled her into a hug that she returned happily, she then hugged Ned and Lyanna and lastly Benjen, she spent a considerable amount with the Starks exchanging stories, apparently Ned was to meet Catelyn Tully at the tournament. Alessandra had also noticed Brandon looking at Ashara, thing that caused her to stop the Stark from even thinking about it. He had tried to complain but her word had been final.

After her time with the Starks she went to look for her family's banner, she was happy to see Jaime and hugged her favorite sibling before moving to hug a pregnant Elia. Her mother was also in attendance and Alessandra gifted her with a small painted portrait of Princess Rhaenys, who had stayed behind at the capital with Rhaella and Viserys, her mother also had a gift for her, a pendant with her house crest. She also saw her sister who looked very uncomfortable next to Robert Baratheon, but she quickly shrugged her off in favor of talking to Elia, Ashara, her mother and her Aunt Genna, the latter who would join her and Ashara in the capital once they returned.

The Tourney itself happened joyfully, she enjoyed watching as Brandon won to Robert Baratheon in the melee only to loose in the jousts three days later by Rhaegar's hand? Rhaegar also played an emotional rendition on his harp which had many maids crying by the end of his song, Alessandra had only raised an eyebrow at her husband, a cheeky smirk in place. As the final day of the jousts approached Alessandra became anxious, the knight of the laughing tree had made its appearance and no one had caught him, only his shield was returned, Alessandra had observed Lyanna Stark with veiled concern as the Stark girl sat next to Benjen Stark in the stands. Then also the moment that she had been waiting happened as such. Rhaegar won the jousts to Ser Barristan, and he was handed the crown of blue winter roses by his squire, Alessandra bit the insides of her cheeks as he rode past her crowning Lyanna Stark as his queen of love and beauty.

She remembered how the music had stopped, how Brandon stood to glare at Rhaegar, how Lyanna had paled as the crown was placed on her lap. She remembered how her uncle Gerion had tensed next to her almost grabbing his sword, how her mother's smile had been wiped off her face only to be replaced by a grimace. Even thought she knew that it would happen, that was the moment when Rhaegar Targaryen crushed Alessandra's dreams and for it he deserved to die.

"Are you out of your mind?" She hissed once she found herself alone with Rhaegar, he looked like a deer in headlights.

"My princess, I apologize" he started saying but she promptly cut her off.

"It's too late for that Targaryen, did you really thought of what would happen or were you just thinking with your cock only? Do you know just what your actions today meant?" She felt furious, Rhaegar had the decency to turn red at her words, but tried to get out of trouble.

"Why do you care so much? I was under the impression that you didn't like me" he said voice full of venom, she sneered.

"I thought up to this point we at least were friends, the fact that I don't like you as a husband does not means that I actively despise you and how can you ask that? If you like another lady that its fine with me, but don't let the whole realm know that you are as unhappy as I am with our marriage, you disgust me" she said turning her back to him, that seemed to struck a nerve with the prince who walked up to her turning her around and kissing her roughly.

"I dislike you so much" he said in between kisses, she pulled his hair as he ripped of her nightdress.

"I dislike you even more" she said, ripping his tunic, the both fell on the bed and she moved to straddle him.

"This doesn't mean anything to me" he said as he kissed a trail from her neck to her breasts.

"It never has to me" she said in between shaky breaths.

It was probably the best round of 'I hate you' sex that she had ever had in both lifetimes even though next morning she woke up to an empty bed.

Leaving Harrenhall was a dream come true, for the main part. For she was sure that she would miss Brandon, her mother, Elia, Jaime and Oberyn, the latter had sympathized with her after Rhaehar had named Lyanna his queen. She rode past Rhaegar, Gerion close behind her, with a smirk on her face as she remembered how she had slammed Brandon Stark against a wall and had made out with him as if her life depended on it, he was hers, she had told him and the Stark heir had only nodded dumbly.

A few moons after her return to King's Landing she realized that she was pregnant again and approached Rhaegar declaring that her son's name would be Duncan, the Silver prince had tried to argue but she had told him that he owed her that small mercy. Another of Alessandra's deeds was tip off lord Hoster Tully anonymously about Petyr Baelish, which resulted in the death of the young man. She had smiled for days when the story finally reached her. During those moons she urged her father to resign and to return to the Rock, she also sent her aunt Genna back, as she knew that by the time the year ended she would be in dangerous waters.

She also found a new hobby with her uncle Gerion, discovering all possible secret passages of the Red Keep. So far they had found fifteen, including one that led them to the back cells and from the back cells to a sewer that led to Blackwater. The moment that Rhaegar left she knew that he had gone to get Lyanna, that morning she had gone to the Keep's Sept to pray for forgiveness, she also convinced Ashara to visit Elia in The Rock. That left her alone with the Queen and the Queen's ladies in the keep, and Gerion who would not leave her side. When she found out about Lyanna's disappearance the Queen looked at her with something akin to pity, she hated it. During that time she received letters from her father asking if he should travel to the capital, she urged him to stay home and wait for her signal.

Another one of her most memorable deeds was the kidnapping and killing of Varys, as she couldnt let Aerys know that while he was planning to destroy King's Landing with wildfire, she was planning to kill him. Varys' corpse joined the waters of Blackwater soon enough and she promptly gained the control of his web. When Brandon arrived to King's Landing with his band of nobles and was arrested, she sent a letter North promising Lord Rickard that she would save Brandon and his companions and urged him to stay North and communicate with the fathers of the other nobles and to tell them to stay put, she also detailed her plans on having the men replaced as to not arouse suspicion.

She and Gerion replaced the nobles with Lannister loyalists and put them on a ship to Dorne, where Oberyn would hold them until it was safe to travel, Brandon had embraced her and apologized on behalf of his family for Rhaegar's spurning, she had kissed him goodbye and tried to return his sword to him to which he laughed and said that she would need it more than he did, they embraced once more before the ship departed. A fortnight later she received word from Oberyn in code that indicated that the men had arrived safely.

Aerys, seeing as the fathers of the nobles decided not to answer the call, decided to burn the poor things with wildfire, which spurned the North, the Erye and the Riverlands. Ned Stark, who had just married Catelyn Tully took control of the Northern forces, as the farce had to be kept in place and rode north to raise the Banners alongside his father. Alessandra, who was now heavily pregnant, started praying for the birth of her son, who was born three days after the Battles of Summerhall which were won by Robert Baratheon, her son was born two days after. A healthy Targaryen looking boy with green eyes. She had shown Duncan Targaryen to his grandmother who had looked positively happy besides everything that was going on.
