Chapter Text

Rhaenyra and Laenor spoke alone in the beach when the betrothal was announced. 

They agreed that perhaps the bedding and duty to have heirs would be solved if perhaps Laenor brought Joffrey into the marriage bed to motivate him.

Of course, they inform Joffrey whom agrees to it. He would do anything to help them.

The eventual throuple add Harwin once feelings come to light and the two men sneak into the room where Laenor and Nyra have to consumate the marriage.

They have their fun, Rhaenyra being brought to her peak many times thanks to Harwin, and Joffrey being able to bring Laenor to his peak plenty of times.

The 4 have their fun every 2 days for a month, until Rheanyra is informed she's with child after a month and a half after the wedding.

Months pass and Rhaenyra's belly is much larger than what the court deem appropriate and Alicent whispers that the baby in Rhaenyra is a bastard, surely from her uncle.

But they're wrong when the month they believe the baby was to be born passed.

Rhaenyra went into labor a month early and even then it was shocking because she had been in the throne room, speaking with her father next to the iron throne when her water broke. Laenor and Joffrey rushed to get her midwives as Harwin comforted her.

They could not get her down the steps of the Iron Throne because the labor was persistent and she was in pain.

It was also raining heavily and this is what started the rumors

Jacearys Valeryon was born in the steps of the Iron Throne, making him destined to rule after his mother.

Lucerys Valeryon was born, and as he took his first breath the heavy rained seized and the clouds parted to show the sun. A clear indication he was Laenor's heir for Driftmark.

They were very different, as Fraternal Twins were, Jace had straight black wisps of hair, his skin lighter than Laenor's and he seemed to be bigger than his brother by 2 inches. Luke had curly black hair, his skin was the same as his mother's. 

He was smaller than Jace as well and as Jace was screaming and crying into the world, Luke came deathly quiet, only a small whimper escaped him, but he was a calm baby.

They had freckles as well, but Jace's only had a little on his face and more through his body, Luke had it all over, even his face.

Laenor loved the twins and he couldn't be found without them with his wife and lover beside him.

Alicent had been secretly shocked, she had hoped the baby would be a bastard, they weren't they were fraternal twins.

As they grew it was obvious that they'd be different on height.

And the nobles began to see that Jace looked like his mother whn younger while Luke looked like the dear late Good Queen Aemma.

3 years after them, Joffrey was born and he had thr same coloring as his father, with curly white hair.

Sadly Laena passed after having her and Daemon's son, and during the funeral Laenor and Joffrey ran away without informing anyone.

The boys were more distracted by that and comforting Laena's twins to notice Aemond heading to where Vaghar was.

Aemond lost an eye that day because he had slammed into a jagged rock once Vaghar almost burnt him. The rock jammed into his eye, making him lose the eye.

Alicent had no one to blame other than thr guards

Rhaenyra was devastated once she learned her husband ran away.

A year would pass when Viserys finally annulled Nyra and Laenor's marriage and let her remarry.

To which she did with Daemon, and soon got pregnant again after a month into the wedding. 

They had twins, Viserys and Aegon before many others joined.

Chapter Text

Alicent doesn't know what was wrong, she was 15, she was a maiden when she married the king.

Months have passed from the wedding and every night or so the king would send a servant for her to do her marital duties.

And still she was without a babe in her womb.

Her father would get angry, asking why she didn't quicken with child, she was young and fertile.

What she didn't know was that one of her ladies felt bad for the princess Rhaenyra and decided to make the new Queen suffer.

She was slowly poisoning her food, putting potions into her drinks. Slowly ruining her womb.

A year into the marriage Alicent finally missed her moon blood 2 moons in a row, she was excited, happy even because surely now she was carrying a boy, an heir for her husband. 

She wanted to wait for a bit, to see if it was true or her mind and body playing tricks.

A week passed before her father urged her to tell her husband, but the morning that she was going to was when she awoke to horrible cramps and between her thighs was so much blood she was terrified.

She told no one, but her ladies informed her father who chastised her and demanded to know what she did.

Her husband learned later, but he just sighed and gave her a weak smile, and she flinched internally.

He married her because she was young and fertile, he needed a son. 

And she knew sooner before Rhaenyra was wed and had her own children.

4 moons passed before she was with child again, she felt semi weaker as time passed, but healthy somewhat.

She prayed everyday that it was a boy, she severely hoped it was a boy.

8 moons later she laid in the birthing bed sobbing as she was handed a stillborn boy, the midwives and maester somber and gave her pitying looks.

She hated it, she was not going to be another Aemma.

She was a Hightower and needed to do her duty.

She didn't notice the happy smile between one of her ladies, a midwife and a maester.

She was 18 years old and 4 months pregnant when the 17 year old Crown Princess Rhaenyra wed Ser Harwin Strong after he made an amazing impression on her and courted her for half a year.

They truly looked in love as Harwin gently kissed the young princess.

She hoped and prayed the babe in her was a boy and lived.

Her hope was gone when 2 months later she went to labor once she heard that Rhaenyra was close to two months pregnant. 

She gave birth to a small stillborn little girl who shockingly was deformed, she had scales all over her body and had a hole where her heart should've been.

It did not stop her from crying her heart out as she rocked back and forth in the bed.

She was internally envious when she heard Rhaenyra give birth months later. She picked her nails bloody as she heard the cries of a babe.

Her stomach sank when she learned it was a boy, they named the boy Jacearys. 

The babe had his father's hair color and his mother's eyes and skin tone.

She'd later hear from the nobles that he looked like Rhaenyra when she was younger.

The 18 year old and 27 year old presented their son a few weeks after the birth and Alicent could feel the eyes of her father's fury on her.

She even felt the looks of the other nobles in the court and could hear the whispers.

"Barren"

"No better than Queen Aemma."

The 19 year old had to bear her father's screams on how disappointed he was on her, that their supporters were pulling away because of weak womb.

Alicent was 25 when she finally brought forth the kings first born son.

But the king didn't care to attend the after birth, he was with his firstborn daughter and his 3 grandsons and granddaughter. 

Rhaenyra gave birth to Lucerys Strong 11 months after Jacearys was born, and then to Joffrey and Aemma Strong 14 months after. 

Her stepdaughter was currently pregnant again, her father couldn't do anything since they had gone to Dragonstone to reside there and he couldn't do much now that Daemon was back at the Red Keep with his wife Laena 

So she was alone with the maester and midwives when she heard the screams of a newborn and she sobbed in relief that finally a babe was born alive from her womb. She sobbed as she held her son and she kissed his forehead as she named him Aegon.

But her father's supporters never came back, for they supported Rhaenyra, for she had brought 3 boys and a girl into the world before she reached her late 20s. 

Unlike Alicent whom had miscarriage after miscarriage, stillborn after stillborn. 

She was so happy once she had Aegon, she would be found in his nursery talking and hugging the newborn close.

He was so healthy and lively. 

So it broke her heart that at 6 months she found him in his nursery with no movement or beating from his little heart.

Viserys just looked somber and gave her a sad look as they held his funeral.

She didn't know what she did wrong, she ate her food, she was calm, she was the good queen people needed, why was her boy taken?

When she was 28 she finally brought a little girl into the world, Viserys was ecstatic, he didn't care it was a girl she gave birth to. Surely Rhaenyra would be happy to have a baby sister.

Alicent was quiet as she held her daughter, she didn't notice the smile from her lady in waiting. 

The lady had decided to ease on the poison, she decided to let the young queen bare at least a child. The young princess had her children it was only right to see what the Hightower Queen brought.

Once Aegon had been born she bade her time, she slowly added things into his clothes that she had learned could poison the person through the skin slowly but surely. However, she decided to smother the boy with his pillow as he slept.

And she smiled as the queen gave birth to a little girl whom was named after the queen's mother.

The maester whom was part in her plan deceived the King and Queen that they could try for another child a month after the birth of the princess.

The realm believed the Hightower Queen to be a fool believing she could give the king a male heir, for she died in the birthing bed after 3 days of laboring and she had to be gutted open to bring out twin babes, a boy and a girl, but the boy only lived half a day and the girl was named Aenara and lived. 

The queen died at 29, only giving the king 2 little girls who would later wed the first two sons of their father's heir.

Chapter Text

He had married Alicent because it had been his duty, he had wanted to marry Aemma Arryn, but couldn't. 

He was the heir, he had to marry for duty, Daemon was free from marriage till he needed to marry. 

Daemon could marry for love.

Viserys married for duty.

Alicent was barely 13 and he 18 when they wed and his lady wife gave birth to his firstborn son 9 months after the wedding.

Prince Aegon was his name.

Alicent never told anyone not even after Aegon was born that Viserys moaned Aemma's name each time in their marriage bed.

So she quietly endured.

11 months after came Helaena who loved dearly.

The Realm's Angel

He didn't realize the nicknames for Helaena would become cruel later on.

2 years after the princess was born Aemond came into the world, such a quiet babe that one.

He was born after 2 miscarriages.

And then Daeron came 10 months after Aemond.

He had 3 boys and 1 girl.

He had an heir and his spare, but he knew the realm needed more. 

He needed more boys to keep the Targaryen line able to succeed 

So he kept pushing and pushing.

He didn't care that his young queen had given him an heir and a spare a half decade into their marriage, he needed more children.

He needed more sons.

He ignored the sobs Alicent would cry as she awoke every few months with bedsheets stained with dark red blood.

He ignored her shrieks of grief after another stillborn babe came from her hard labors.

He ignored Otto Hightower as the man tried to persuade him that he didn't need more children, it was shocking to Otto that he had to tell the king this, but he could see his daughter was in pain and becoming weak.

Queen Alicent Hightower, the Green Queen as the 7 Kingdoms called her because she only wore green gowns even if she was supposedly a Targaryen Queen, died a decade into the marriage.

She died at 23 years old after her husband, the King, had ordered the Maester to cut her stomach to bring out their unborn child after 2 days of her laboring.

She was too weak and the Milk of the Poppy did not help at all, so they cut her open to bring out the babe.

He weakly held her hand as she weakly pleaded for him to give her more time that the babe will come out.

He didn't flinch even as she began to scream as they cut her, but that very much was the moment Otto Hightower arrived to see his daughter. 

The man froze as he witnessed his daughter be butchered for a mere small son to come out crying.

A babe that only lived for 3 hours.

Otto would confess later to the rest of the Hightowers he regretted ever accepting to marry off his only daughter so young.

The 4 children of the King Viserys I and Queen Alicent Hightower sat shocked in the seats they sat on watching the tourney as they heard the whispers. 

Their mother was gone, taken by the stranger.

All for a son that only lived for 3 hours.

Their father had their mother butchered and it was all for nothing.

Aegon, the heir of his father, could only sit still, he had to be the perfect image of an heir.

He who didn't weep as they buried his mother into place where the non Targaryen Queens from the past were buried at.

She was no Targaryen so she was not burnt by dragon fire.

He held his sister's hand as Aemond was the only one to loudly weep for their mother.

The children knew their father would have to remarry, he needed more children, but they were hurt that he didn't wait the proper mourning period because not even 6 months had passed of their mother's death when their father announced he was to court a noble woman. 

And the woman was Aemma Arryn, 21 years old, the woman their father had been courting till the betrothal of him and their mother was announced.

They couldn't really hate the woman, she was kind and sweet and had even told Viserys that to wait a year and a half before a wedding so as to respect the mourning period.

A kindness they deemed it that she pushed another half year for the wedding to happen.

So it was 2 years before their father remarried.

The 23 year old married the 28 year old King, now making her Queen Consort, the one he always wanted.

Anyone would be a fool to say the king did not love his new Queen. 

For the new Queen would show her husband how to make love, not just marital duty for an heir.

Confessing that her family spoke about how love and sex could be done in the same time in the marital bed.

Viserys loved and waited for Aemma that he did not care.

They shared giggles as they clumsily made love.

Viserys felt no guilt on how he made his 1st wife endure the marriage bed.

A month after the marriage the realm learned that Queen Aemma was with child.

The king's 4 children felt semi happy that they were going to have a sibling. 

What shocked them was when Prince Daemon, their uncle, came back to the Red Keep.

For as long as they have been alive they've known that their uncle had been gone ever since their father married their mother.

And now he was back.

Everyone knew the Rouge Prince had loved Aemma like a sister and had been happy to hear that she was now married to his brother.

He didn't spare his nephews and niece a glance, he only had eyes for Queen Aemma and cooed as he rubbed her round belly.

Months passed and the new Queen gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

The boy was named Baelon

And the girl was named Rhaenyra 

Their baby sister was nicknamed the Realm's Delight by their uncle.

They then witnessed how the twins were favored over them.

By their father, by their uncle and cousins, Rheanys and her children.

Even a few of the other nobles in court preferred the babes.

As the children of the king's from his first marriage grew, the more they envied the twins.

For they had cradle eggs that hatched unlike them.

And their father dotted on the twins more, he showered the twins with toys, jewelry among other things.

The questioned amongst themselves why his father wasn't having more children. 

Surely he needed more children if that was why he remarried.

It wasn't till 3 years after the twins were born that Aemond eavesdropped on the King and Queen.

"The twins are enough for me my love. I don't need no more children," he heard the gentle tone his father gave to his Aemma. 

He left quickly, he broke things in his room.

He then informed his siblings, only Helaena didn't care.

"He gutted mother for no reason other to get rid of her!" He screamed before Helaena had to reassure that it was the Maester who did it, that their baby brother who died was taking too long.

Not father but the maester which calmed him down.

They did not know that the King had Alicent gutted open at her most weakest to get rid of her to marry his true love.

That he purposely made her weaken her body till the last babe kill her.

So he could finally be with Aemma.

That he did his duty, now he wanted his love.

Chapter Text

Rhaenyra and Laenor didn't know what the problem was.

They did their marital duties twice a week, Laenor had no trouble since he had Joffrey help him and Harwin's help bring Rhaenyra to her peak.

4 years into the marriage and yet Rhaenyra still was without child.

The couple knew and heard the whispers that perhaps Laenor's seed wasn't strong or what if Rhaenyra had a weak womb or was infertile.

The couple were angry and mystified on what the problem was, they have been trying every week, twice a week really when both Joffrey and Harwin had the time.

Other times Laenor brought other men whom Joffrey approved.

Rhaenyra had fun of course trying for a babe, but nothing happened, every month her moon blood came and she was worried.

It wasn't till Daemon visited and had wooed Laenor to be in their bed that he noticed what everyone missed. 

"The hole where his seed is supposed to come out is in the wrong place?" Rhaenyra weakly hissed as Laenor sat rubbing his tired face on their bed.

Daemon sighed and nodded, "I'm deeply sorry sorry dear niece that no maester checked him over. Either I'm wrong or I'm right and you need to try for a babe in a certain position."

Joffrey and Harwin soon learned what Daemon found out and both were curious. They then found the perfect position for thr married couple to try for child and helped them.

They would repeat it twice or three times a weak for a month before finally Rhaenyra was confirmed to be with child.

Alicent didn't know how to react, she had helped spread the rumor that Rhaenyra or Laenor were barren or sterile.

But now here was her 23 year old step daughter pregnant with her first babe.

She tried to think it was a bastard that she was pregnant with until her father told her that surely if it were a bastard then Rhaenyra would've had the child a year into the marriage. To suddenly take a lover and risk a bastard being born when it was known the couple struggled would be foolish.

She wasn't sure if she should count the child trueborn until the birth.

Surely it was a bastard.

She even spread the rumor that surely that the Princess lied about when the child was conceived because Rhaenyra was bigger than expected.

Until the month passed that the rumor speculated for her to go into labor passed and then 2 months later the nobles and servants could hear the Crown Princess's pained screams as she was in labor for what was 8 hours.

Jacearys and Lucerys Valeryon were born 5 minutes apart.

Something Jacearys would tease Lucerys about later on when they were older.

Jacearys had their father's coloring, and their mother's smooth straight platinum blonde hair while Lucerys had their mother's coloring, their aunt Laena's curls and their paternal grandma's black hair.

Rhaenyra's room was overrun by her in-laws the first few months of her and Laenor's twins life.

A year and a half after the twins were born, Joffrey, Aemma, and Daenon Valeryon were born.

Triplets, Joffrey and Daenon had the skintone lighter than their father and their paternal grandmother's hair color.

Aemma's skin tone was that of her father, but she had her mother's hair color but it was curly.

Four boys and one girl, Laenor and Rhaenyra was happy with that, glad that their children could play with Laena and Daemon's twin girls.

The Green Queen looked angry as each babe was born, she was so sure they were bastards, but with how the twins and triplets were born together she couldn't pin their features into another man's. 

A half decade later the queen was frazzled as well as her 4 children had multiple black haired and silver head children run amuck the castle.

Harwin and Joffrey had been able to persuade Laenor and Nyra to have more children just to be safe.

They even helped the couple with the children. 

After the triplets, Rhaenyra had a second pair of twins, both boys whom were named Vaegon and Aethon.

11 months after the twins was a little girl they named Rhaenys after her grandmother.

And 2 years after the princess was twin girls, Visenya and Vissera. Both had their mother's coloring and hair, but their hair was curly and had some black in in it.

Alicent regretted the rumors she spread because now the it seemed like the Crown Princess and her Prince Consort were trying to prove how strong her womb and his seed were.

Because a decade into their marriage they now had almost a dozen children. 

Chapter Text

Viserys, Corlys, Rheanys and Aemma agreed to secretly be in a poly marriage once they all meet and found they had chemistry amongst the 4 of them.

Aemma was believed to be barren since both Corlys and Rheanys advised Viserys to wait a few years to consumate his marriage with Aemma. That she was much too young to be taken to bed

Rheanys and Corlys first had Laenor and Laena before Rheanys had twins girls from Viserys. 

Aemma was 18 when she had Rhaenyra, 5 years after she and Viserys married, but the couple were surprised because Aemma wasn't showing and it was commonly known her moon blood would skip months at a time.

Daemon soon finds out the relationship and advices his brother to let Aemma stay in Dragonstone for her pregnancies.

Which was how the four learned Otto was trying to cause troubles during Aemma's pregnancies.

Otto was sent to be executed after evidence came out among other things.

Months later Aemma gave birth to twin boys that were clearly Corlys's boys.

The Kingdoms wanted answers before Viserys came clean about the 4 being married and already consumated.

People wanted to say something when Viserys also said they married in thr Targaryen way, that any child of Corlys with Aemma or his with Rheanys are both Targaryen and Valeryon and will be dragon riders.

So Rhaenyra grows up with 4 older siblings and many more siblings.

The realm watched as the 2 wives brought up almost a small army of Targaryen-Valeryon children. 

Rheanys had 10 more children after Laena and Laenor, 6 being Corly's and 4 being Viserys's children.

Aemma after having Rhaenyra had 11 more children, 7 from Viserys and 4 from Corlys.

Daemon was just happy that Aemma and Viserys had children that were healthy and good.

Chapter Text

The significant birthmarks is what stopped Rhaenyra from taking Harwin as a lover, 4 months after her marriage.

She needed children, children to secure her claim to the throne.

She had fallen for Harwin, and he her, but what stopped her was that Valeryons had birthmarks that showed they were of Valeryon descent.

She had tried with Laenor, but he was limp and it hurt them both when they did their marital duties.

He was still hurt from Joffrey's death, and she was hurt that she didn't have Daemon close to her, that they both lost someone close to them.

And it hurt her that she couldn't satisfy her husband, she had thought with enough persuasion that things would go well, but 4 months in a row her moons blood has come and gone.

She was getting desperate and she couldn't try with any lover. Her children needed to have those birthmarks.

So once her moon blood has gone she begged Laenor for a solution, she would not disgrace the Valeryons by giving birth to non-Valeryon bastards.

Dragonstone was where she and Laenor had moved to to escape Alicent's hostility month after she asked Laenor to find a solution.

His salutation was to ask his father in private for help.

He was able to persuade his father with a great deal.

If he helped Rhaenyra, then a son of his would he in the throne.

He spent a whole week ravishing and filling Rhaenyra up with his seed, he'd sneak into her room in the morning before her maids came and in the night before she went to sleep.

Jacearys was born before a year into Rhaenyra and Laenor's marriage.

He almost looked like Corlys but slightly lighter skin tone, but had Rhaenyra's hair color and straight hair.

He had a seahorse shaped birthmark on the left side of his neck. 

Not even a year later Lucerys was born in Driftmark on a boat that Laenor and Rhaenyra were relaxing in, it had been raining a bit, it was a bit gloomy till Lucerys took his first breath and the rain stopped and the sun shone.

He had Rhaenyra's coloring, but had his aunt (older sister) Laena's curls. 

His birthmark was that of a starfish, Laenor and Rhaenyra had giggled to themselves as they noticed the birthmark was in his forehead, which could be hidden by his curls.

Joffrey and Aemma were happy little accidents 3 years after Lucerys's birth, Joffrey took her coloring but had a head full of curls, Aemma had skin the same color Laenor and was the only child she had that had the black hair of Baratheon's.

When they heard that Alicent or the court tried to make rumors that their 4 children were bastards, Viserys was not happy and had the people's tongue either cut out or executed for speaking treason.

He had even shouted that his grandchildren were Valeryons because of the birthmarks.

Joffrey's birthmark was of that of a starfish right in his right cheek while Aemma's was on her wrist, it was that of a seahorse.

Alicent lost more support as more and more people began to see she was trying to ruin the Crown Princess's reputation with lies.

Clearly her children were Valeryon Trueborns, they had the birthmarks!

As years passed Laenor had ran away, with rumors that it was with a whore he bad been cheating on his wife Rhaenyra with, causing Viserys to annul the marriage because of Laenor's dishonor.

She was allowed to marry Harwin Strong, she had yurned for Daemon, but he had fallen deeply for Laena and Laena had given him twin girls and twin boys and she felt it in her heart to be happy for him. 

Harwin gave her 3 beautiful dark haired boys and twin girls with his hair as well before the Stranger took him and Laena away.

Laena passed after giving birth to Daemon's forth son after her 5th pregnancy. 

After 2 years of mourning the two finally married and that was when she came clean about the father of her first 4 babes.

Daemon just laughed and called her a proper dragon defending her claim.

And if Daemon secretly invited Corlys to their marriage bed when Rheanys was away no one was the wiser.

The Kingdoms all accepted Rhaenyra Targaryen as their Queen once Viserys died, the large brood of Targaryen-Valeryon princes and princesses lived happily as Rhaenyra sent the Dowager Queen and Aegon to Oldtown with a mear allowance.

Helaena married Jacearys, and Aemond was married to her sweet Aemma.

Lucerys married Rheana when they both were old enough. 

No one knew the truth other than Rhaenyra, Daemon, and Corlys.

And they made sure to keep it that way.

Chapter Text

Laenor was able to convince his father to help them bring forth Trueborn Valeryon children.

Which was how Rhaenyra found herself being seduced by Corlys in her bedchamber as he had her naked on his lap and he whispered filth in her ear as his finger played with her clit and another played with a nipple.

She was quietly panting against his chest as she whimpered as she felt his finger slide into her folds and slid inside her cunt.

Her pussy felt raw and sore as he had taken her in the morning and night.

He had been gentle the first night since he was bigger than Laenor, but once she had gotten used to his size he would make her take his whole length.

It had reduced her to a whimpering and crying mess.

He had fondled and rubbed her intimate areas before taking her on his cock and she would try and stay quiet, biting into her pillow or hiding her face on his chest.

That was what resulted in Jacearys.

It was a dark and rainy night when Lucerys was conceived. 

Laenor had taken them to visit Driftmark as his mother had gone to visit Laena and Daemon with the twins.

Which is how she found herself being taken from behind as she muffled her cries of pleasure with a pillow as Corlys fucked her pussy, her thighs were shaking since he had been fucking her cunt for what felt like hours, her juices dripping down her thighs. Bitemarks were in her inner thighs and hand shaped red marks were in her ass cheeks from him spanking her.

Her clit was swollen and red from his balls smacking it as well as him having rubbed it and sucked it.

She gasps as she was moved to her side, he was on his side as well, her back touching his chest, one of her legs raised and placed on his side before he slid back into her sore and sensitive pussy that was slightly dripping of his cum. 

Her womb felt stuffed and full, which it did look because one he was done her lower belly looked lightly bloated and she was too tired to clean herself up that she fell asleep like that.

She knew her precious Lucerys was conceived that night because that was the only night he spent with her.

And a month later she was confirmed to be with child.

Conceiving the twins was a night that made Rhaenyra shiver as she remembered it.

They had again went to visit Driftmark and Corlys had decided to take his family on a boat to see the ocean. 

Laenor had distracted his mother with tales of when he had been at war alongside with Daemon among other small talk.

Rhaenyra had faked feeling ill.

And here she was, being fucked against the cabin wall as her father-in-law carried most of her weight. She still had her dress on because it was too risky to take anything off and nor could she kiss him or he leave her any marks on her neck.

But he did leave marks on her inner thighs and she bit into a rag as he pounded into her pussy as her clit was rubbed good.

She had tears dripping down her cheeks as she was brought to her peak and she whimpers softly as she felt him fill her with his seed.

She was positive that was when they were conceived because other than that time they had fucked only 3 weeks later in the beach when no one was around, and even then the maester confirmed the conception date.

The last time Corlys was allowed to bed her was before Viserys died and she became Queen.

Daemon had been curious in how his cousin's husband had taken his little dragon and gave her four beautiful children whom he also adored. 

Rhaenyra ended up sore and couldn't walk right, the two men made it a competition to see who can bring her to her peak the fastest and how many times they could.

Her insides even felt sore, but she had loved it.

And she loved how Daemon did not judge her for what she had to do.

Chapter Text

With Joffrey's help Laenor was able to Rhaenyra her heir, spare, and precious last boy from him.

In the span of 4 years, Joffrey helped his true love and his true love's wife be able to conceive and have three boys.

Baelon, Lucerys, and Joffrey were all born almost a year apart of each other. To which Viserys and even Alicent teased the married couple for.

Baelon born 10 months into their marriage. 

Alicent couldn't ruin Rhaenyra's good name with bastardy for her boys when they had Laenor's looks, his hair color, well except Lucerys who took after his paternal grandmother's hair color and his aunt's curls. 

Laenor would hug Rhaenyra before kissing her belly to thank the miracle of him having his own children.

His own 3 boys.

He cherished the boys and loved them, so it crushed her when she woke up one day, the 5th anniversary to their marriage. She was now 23 years old and happy with her 3 boys and platonic soulmate, when suddenly she noticed once she left her bed chambers and went around the halls of thr Red Keep she felt the eyes of nobles and servants looking at her.

She was confused when suddenly her father and Alicent greeted her with a grim look.

"I'm sorry my dear girl, but Laenor is nowhere to be seen."

Laenor's chambers had been stripped bear, only the bed and vanity remained. His clothes and all his belongings were missing.

No one except Joffrey, Laenor's secret lover, witnessed his departure in a boat and Joffrey explained he had believed Laenor needed fresh air.

That he had not noticed how Laenor was able to sneak his belongings out of the Red Keep.

Nor did any of the other servants since Laenor had forbidden them from entering his chambers.

The note he had left was full of lies that she and Joffrey only knew.

That his heart belonged to another woman, that he had been seeing and bedding the woman since before Lucerys was born.

He had faked dishonoring her so as to make Rhaenyra seem like a victim, so that her father can annul their marriage so she can remarry.

And Rhaenyra felt bad as Corlys and Rhaenys had came to the Red Keep to ask Viserys for forgiveness, to not harm their grandchildren.

Her father forgave them but could not forgive Laenor, that Rhaenyra was free to remarry.

Rhaenyra felt it too soon, she wanted to mourn Laenor leaving and after a few moons Joffrey left as well to not raise suspicion.

At 24 years old she found herself catching feelings for her sworn shield, Ser Harwin Strong who courted her for 7 months before Viserys granted them a marriage.

No one was surprised that thr Crown Princess fell pregnant soon into the marriage.

Jacearya was born 8 months after her parents marriage, a month early but a healthy weight.

She had her father's coloring, but her mother's eyes.

Aemmarys was born 11 months after Jacearya, born 2 months early which worried Rhaenyra and Harwin since she was a slightly small babe.

But her lungs were strong which gladdened the parents, and as she was months old the court could see the babe had a head full of black curls. 

Laenya was born 2 years after Aemmarys, her parents tried very much to behave, all their children were less than 10 years old and Jacearya and Aemmarys were less than 4 years old. Especially because Harwin wanted Rhaenyra's body to rest for a while.

Laenya was the only one to have Rhaenyra's hair and eyes, but she too had her father's curls, but they were less curly than Aemmarys's curls.

Rhaenyra was 30 years old when both Laena and Harwin died.

Laena had given birth to the 3rd healthy babe from Daemon, a second son, but she had gotten into the childbed fever.

Laena decided to go out with a dragon rider death, Harwin had seen her get close to Vaghar

He had tried to save her.

Both were consumed by the flames and Rhaenyra felt like she was dying. 

Her 1st husband ran away so she can find true love 

Her 2nd husband died trying to save Laena.

The realm was glad that 2 years later Rhaenyra and Daemon wed the way of their ancestors.

Rhaenyra was pregnant with her first child with Daemon when she became Queen and the realm was joyous when she gave birth to quadruplets.

Two girls and two boys.

Visenya, Rheanys, Viserys and Aegon were not the last babes Rhaenyra had. For she gave birth to another set of twins boys and a little girl a year after. Daema would be her last girl that would come from her last and final pregnancy but Daemon did not care for he cared for her other children like they were from his seed.

He very much favored Lucerys like Rhaenyra did.

But from her girls he favored Aemmarys for she looked just like her namesake except for the curly black hair.

The Targaryen Dynasty was strong, as their little brood of Targaryen-Valeryon children grew and wed their siblings or cousins while a few of the others brought back polygamy and married those of different houses strengthening the 7 Kingdoms. 

Chapter Text

Otto had been ecstatic when Alicent had told him she was with child.

And so soon into her marriage with the king.

He was praying to the Seven that it was a boy and was a true Targaryen. 

His hopes were gone when Alicent gave birth to a boy with her auburn hair and brown eyes.

The child looked like Alicent did as a babe, sure he was pale, but not the Targaryen pale.

Aegon was his name, but Otto felt it wasn't a right name for the boy.

He shrugged it off and pushed for his daughter to do her duty as Queen and give her husband another son.

Alicent gave birth to Helaena a year after Aegon's birth, the stupid babe had her mother's looks, she did have the Targaryen pale skin, but looked more Hightower. 

He had chastised his tired daughter not even a week after her daughter's birth.

Did she not understand that she needed Targaryen looking children?!

2 years after she Helaena she gave birth to her 2nd boy.

With auburn straight hair and brown eyes.

He called her useless and other cruel words as his daughter cried holding the small boy close to her.

That same year Rhaenyra married Ser Laenor Valeryon when Aemond was 6 months old. 

Almost 16 months after the wedding was when Rhaenyra gave birth to Jacearys. 

A boy with black hair and brown eyes.

Alicent knew the boy was a bastard, and surely she knew the court knew as well.

But then the egg placed in his cradle hatched and bonded with the babe not even 3 months after Jace was born.

Lucerys was born 11 months after.

He too had black hair bur it was curly and brown eyes.

Alicent was seething inside, surely the court would know the children of the princess were bastards.

But the egg placed in his cradle also hatched not even 4 months after his birth. 

Alicent had the urge to begin spreading rumors till her father stormed into her chamber.

He was seething, he had heard the rumors and marched over to her to see her. 

"They haven't claimed any dragons have they?"

"Aegon and Helaena? No they have no. Why do you ask father?" she asked confused. 

She didn't see why this was relevant, her children were Targaryen. Surely they'll eventually bond with a dragon.

"....Are they truly Viserys's children?" 

That question felt as if ice was poured into her blood. She began to pick at her nails, she knew her children didn't have the Targaryen, but surely the court wouldn't think ill of her.

"Have you not heard the whispers?!" Her father screamed.

She flinched and shook her head.

She felt her heart stop as he told her what he has heard.

That her children were bastards.

They weren't Viserys's children. 

That they were Ser Criston Cole's bastards.

She made her fingers bloody as she thought things through.

She couldn't speak about Rhaenyra's children because the court would whisper how she was trying to make herself look innocent. 

She reassured her father that her children would bond with dragons when much older.

Years would pass.

Joffrey would be born with the same features his older brothers had.

Her Daeron was born 3 months before Joffrey, with the same Hightower looks.

But Alicent could not say a thing, she saw the sneers and the accusing glances she was given whenever she and the children were with the King.

Rhaenyra could excuse her children's looks by their Baratheon genes.

But what did her children, her sweet Aemond, her precious Helaena, and her first son Aegon recieve? What excuse could she use for her looks?

Sure some of her supporters could say they look like the Queen, their mother, but Helaena's skin tanned a bit when it was summer.

Aegon's skin had a few freckles.

Her Aemond's long hair was a bit wavy, not straight like a Targaryens.

She could see the sneers and glares her children received. 

It didn't help that her children hadn't been able to bond with available dragon in the dragon pit.

At Lady Laena's funeral her poor Aemond was burned by Vaghar. 

Half his body was burned, he laid in a bed with many maesters trying to comfort and heal him.

Alicent was sobbing as she held her 3 other children close.

Her sweet boy tried to claim a dragon.

He tried to get a dragon at 10 years old.

He had been found by 8 year old Jace and 7 year old Luke with Rheana and Beala beside them.

Their screams were what alerted the guards and Criston Cole, who stayed loyal to her side and stayed as her guard, was the one to bring her screaming crying son.

Half his face was burned to almost the muscle, the eye could not be saved.

This incident just made more whispers come in court in how her children were bastards, surely from Criston Cole.

Slowly she lost her supporters. 

Criston Cole, her dearest friend, died a year after Aemond's incident.

He was beheaded in counts of treason.

Someone had brought up false evidence that she had cheated on her husband with Ser Criston and gave him 4 bastards.

Her father was exiled and sent back to Old Town and her marriage annulled because Viserys believed the rumors and Aemond's incident made it harder to ignore and with the evidence it sealed her fate.

Alicent knew she lost supporters after Aemond's incident, her father even told her that there were few people who believed Aegon to be a trueborn Targaryen.

Her marriage was annulled a week after Criston's execution.

Her children declared bastards.

Stripped of their titles.

Their last names now Waters. 

She begged and pleaded the King that they were lies, her children were his.

He didn't listen and so she spent the rest of her life being mocked and shamed in court and around the 7 Kingdoms. 

Aegon, her first son, went on to work at a brothel once he was ten and eight.

Helaena became a Septa.

Aemond became a reclusive and hid away once he fully healed

Daeron, she never saw her boy again once he turned ten and six.

She died of a broken heart and an illness once she was fifty and two.

She did not know a granddaughter of hers would eventually marry the heir of Rheana and Jace.

Their child had wanted the daughter of the bastard Daeron Waters, bastard son of The Green Whore Alicent Hightower, as his wife.

And who were his parents to deny their heir.

Chapter Text

Viserys was extremely happy he was marrying Aemma Arryn, he was marrying the woman he fell in love with.

But she was much too young to consumate the marriage, she was barely 12 years old.

He knew her mother died in childbirth.

That Aemma was a frail babe, and she didn't seem as if her body was ready for babes, so he ignored the maesters who kept telling him it was ok.

Aemma was 18 years old when they consumated the marriage and she was almost 19 when she gave birth to their first babe.

A boy they named Baelon

The babe was loved by both parents and Daemon was ecstatic for the boy.

He very much confessed he didn't want the throne really.

Two years after Aemma delivered twin boys, Aemon and Airem

The only difference with the boys was that Airem had one green eye and the other purple. 

A year and a half later they had Rhaenyra whom had her father wrapped around her finger.

After Rhaenyra, Viserys informs Aemma that they don't need any more children so every time they make love she takes moon tea.

Although when Rhaenyra is 15 years old Aemma gives birth to triplets, 2 boys and a girl when the queen is 37 years old.

The Targaryen Dynasty was strong thanks to Aemma and later on thanks to Rhaenyra Targaryen with her marriage to Harwin Strong and later with her uncle Daemon Targaryen. 

Chapter Text

The Seven Kingdoms knew that The Realm's Delight was able to turn into a dragon since she was a few months old when she had turned to a beautiful white dragon with red scaled wings and golden scales in some parts of her body.

Good Queen Aemma was the only one able to help control her daughter.

Sure she still had Syrax, whom she rode when she felt too tired to transform or when the two wanted to speak, the dragon whom hatched in her cradle was more like a sibling to her.

The Seven Kingdoms accepted her as heir knowing it was best to accept a Woman Heir whom could turn to a dragon in a whim, especially when rumors spread that she could talk with the other dragons in the dragon pit even as a human.

Otto Hightower did not want this, but... well the girl terrified him and he would later regret pushing Viserys to marry Alicent since turns out none of the useless boys his useless daughter had could not turn into a dragon.

No one knew that Aemma's side of the family were witches and that Aemma had been given potions and herbs before her wedding so she would have a strong and healthy babe that could be strong as a dragon. One of her relatives even prayed that the child she would have could be dragon like.

That relative kept that a secret once Rhaenyra's transformations were revealed.

Daemon was never exiled since Queen Aemma asked him to protect Rhaenyra and Viserys preferred his brother to protect his daughter.

Queen Aemma died at 28 years old, from a fever that lasted a week for her.

People would report that Princess Rhaenyra would be found flying around in her time of mourning.

The 14 year old princess would mourn for a year. 

She was 15 when she watched as her dear friend married her father and then was 17 when she married Ser Harwin Strong after he had been able to be a friend to her and courted her when she realized he did not find her terrifying with her ability to turn into a dragon.

She realized he found her absolutely beautiful and he even confessed to her that she looked like a goddess with her ability.

Eight months after the wedding she gave birth to Jacaerys Strong, her heir.

Everyone would learn the babe had dragon like features once presented to the court.

Rhaenyra would learn that her transformation into a dragon during her pregnancy led to her babe taking her dragon like features.

Jacaerys would have small white dragon wings and a small tail on his backside, a few hours later they would see that the babe's eyes looked like that of a dragon, violet slitted pupils.

The skin on his neck and arms even looked to be scales.

The realm saw it as a sign that Rhaenyra was fated to sit in the throne.

Alicent was worried at first and wanted to spread rumors, but her father forbid it. How could his stupid daughter not see that her step-daughter could easily get rid of her and no one would protest it.

The princess had too many supporters, the Hightowers lost supporters when they noticed Aegon did not show signs to being able to transform, and the Queen lost what little support she had when Helaena and Aemond both as well did not transform.

Lucerys Strong was born a year after his brother, Rhaenyra had transformed only a few times, just once a moon she would tell her husband, it helped her relax, but even this did not stop her sweet boy from having dragon features as well.

His brown and white curls would later hide the scales in his forehead but not the ones in his cheeks and chest, he too had the dragon eyes his older brother had and his wings were black and gold. He as well had a tail.

The realm celebrated his birth, how could they not?! The boy was like his older brother, a half dragon with a hatched cradle egg that hatched hours after his birth.

Joffrey soon followed, a year and a half after Lucerys's birth. 

He as well had dragon features, his scales were in his arms and calfs, he had wings that were black, and he too had a tail.

No one learned the three Strong boys could fully turn into dragons when angered when Jace was 3 years old, Luke 2 years old, and Joffrey 6 months old.

They had heard the queen badmouth their mother, and the two eldest began yelling at the Hightower Queen, Rhaenyra tried to calm them down with Joffrey in her arms when they suddenly transformed, and Joffrey as well when he awoke angry from all the noise.

The trigger revealed itself when again a few days later when all three boys became angry for different reasons, no one could find an answer as to why it triggered the princes' so late after their births.

The realm would learn as well and as the princes' grew they tried to keep their temper down well.

The Hightower half breed Aegon acted as he never heard the news of never to anger his nephews.

It was a miracle Aegon wasn't burnt or worse before his tenth name day.

When Joffrey was 7 years old Rhaenyra gave birth to twin girls.

Visenya and Aemma, Visenya had her mother's hair and eyes while Aemma had her father's hair color and curls.

They only had the dragon eyes until hours after the birth when Queen Alicent tried to see them that they sensed their mother's distress and both transformed into dragons causing the queen to shriek in fright,

Alicent may be queen, but she knew she lost any remaining support after a decade as queen after Rhaenyra gave birth to 5 children that could turn to dragons.

Only when angered. but surely theyll eventually be able to control it once older just as Jace and Luke had learned.

The small family went to live in Dragonstone and as Jace was 13, Luke 12 and Joffrey 10 and a half years old they headed to driftmark to meet the new babe Laena had given birth to.

And that was when Lady Rhaena and Baela met their cousins and Daemon and Laena offered a betrothal of their two girls with Jace and Luke.

Luke with Rhaena and Jace with Baela.

Generations to come would show that the children of Queen Alicent would have no descendants as all her children died before they reached their 25th birthday, Helaena's only daugther would only survive until she was 16 years old dying in childbirth as she had married Daemon and Laena's firstborn son who was 22 years old at the time.

The Targaryen Dynasty was strong, the line grew thanks to Rhaenyra's reign.

More Targaryens born with dragon features were born.

But only within those that were descendants of Queen Rhaenyra.

The Mother and Queen of Dragons.

For only those within her line could turn to dragons, even claim and bond with dragons as well.

No one could take the throne or break apart a Targaryen as dragons protected the true heirs of the Iron Throne.

Chapter Text

She dreamt it.

She knew her first pregnancy would be her only one but she didn't know why that would be.

She was 13 and Aegon 14 when they wed and here she was, already 9 months pregnant. 

Not even a year into her marriage.

What surprised her was that her half sister had come from Dragonstone to help take care of her.

She'd comfort her when her back ached and even helped bring her cravings.

She once asked timidly why she was mothering her when they were in the in the birthing chambers with many servants running around attending to the room.

She felt small, carrying her husband-brother's child. She knew the great importance it was that she deliver a boy.

She felt overwhelmed. 

And Rhaenyra gently stroked her hair with a sad smile.

"Well, here you are, surrounded by attendants all focused on the baby. Someone should make sure you yourself are being taken cared of," her sister told her and Helaena felt her heart squeeze from how touched she felt by that.

She felt safe and happy with Rhaenyra around to make sure she rested and ate well, she noticed how tense her mother would become when she visited her and would see Rhaenyra in the room who gave her a slight smile.

Her sister even comforted her that she had brought her midwives who assisted her births with her so as to help out Helaena during her birth.

However, the day Rhaenyra had left the room for a few hours to attend to something was when her water broke and Helaena's heart beat too fast as she was pushed down into her bed, her legs spread so that the maester and midwives checked her over.

"Y...you're not the ones Nyra has brought with her-" she says as she glanced around warily as sweat began to drip down her forehead and she became scared.

The fear left her when the pain hit her so quickly as she felt the babe wanting to come out.

Her mother had made her way to the room and grabbed her hand to which she pulled away as she whimpers at a sharp pain.

She didn't want her mother's touch.

There was too much noise and too many people rushing around the room, none of them looked like the people her sister brought over.

Distant pounding can be heard through the door.

She's given Milk of the Poppy to ease the pain.

Too much of it in fact and she hears, is barely able to hear in fact that her mother is complaining to Maester Mello that she is taking far too long to birth the babe.

It hasn't felt too long, surely the pain was making her forget time.

She felt the affect of the milk of poppy had as she now felt too limp and numb to try and push.

"Your grace it's been only 3 hours since the birthing process has begun-"

"I birthed Aegon in less time, the boy is stuck in her womb. Do it. As your Queen I order it," she heard her mother exclaim and she weakly asks her mother what is happening.

The pounding at the door feels louder, if she focuses she perhaps can hear Nyra's voice among the commotion.

Her vision feels blurry, but she is positive she saw something silver.

She feels her ankles being gripped and her wrists placed above her head and she whimpers at the pain before looking around as her body is pulled further down the bed and she pleads for her mother.

Asking her what is happening as best as her weak body could, as best her sore throat would allow her.

She blinks blurrily at her mother who is softly cooing her as to reassure her.

Reassure her of what confuses her.

"Mother? Mother what is happening?"

Her vision clears up for a moment and that is when she sees a sharp knife being lowered to her belly and she gasps as she shakes her head.

"M...mother no, please no i...I can do it don't-"

Her pleading is cut off by her screams of pain as she is cut open.

The pain was too much for her.

She can faintly hear Nyra's pleas to be let in.

Alicent smiles as she hears the cries of the babe her daughter has delivered, a boy.

She is shocked when another babe is pulled out of her daughter's stomach.

A girl.

Twins

A wife for her grandson then.

Her daughter has done her duty, she will do her duty to give Aegon a spare.

She blinks as she finally is brought back and she hears the room full of the midwives she had gotten for her daughter become silent.

She glances at the bed and her heart freezes.

There is too much blood in the sheets.

A pool of blood stained the bed and Alicent noticed how her daughter wasn't moving, her skin was much too pale.

"Halaena?" She said cautiously before her heart beat faster as she made her way to her daughter's body.

Finally the door was opened, and a midwife rushed into the room, one of the ones her stepdaughter had brought with her.

The midwife rushes to the bed to see if she could assist when she freezes at the sight of the bed before quickly turning around and rushes to the door.

"Princess it is best you do not come in," the woman says, but Princess Rhaenyra still enters with the midwives she brought with her.

Her reply was cut short when she froze upon seeing the sight of her sister's body.

"You butchered her for a son didn't you?" was the broken whisper that left the princess's lips.

Alicent had tears in her eyes when she hears the whisper and glances back at Rhaenyra, she had a retort when she noticed how her former friend was much paler, her breathing ragged when she finally remembers.

Queen Aemma was butchered for a son.

She did the same.

To her own daughter.

"Your grace the boy has stopped breathing."

And even with what all the midwives tried, her grandson did not live nor breathed minutes after his mother.

Both died.

Rhaenyra's screams and wails could be heard by those near the birthing chambers.

Aegon stood frozen as Aemond pleaded to Rhaenyra that she has to be jesting.

But the blood in their half sister's dress and hands, the red in her eyes shows that she is telling the truth.

That Helaena, their sweet sister had died.

The same way Queen Aemma had done so.

Their mother had ordered it, for Helaena to be butchered to bring forth the babe that was in her stomach.

Just because she believed 3 hours was too long for the birthing to take.

Rumors spread that the Princess had clung to their sister till she had to be pulled away from the cold body of Helaena.

They had heard how Rhaenyra had screamed how three hours wasn't too long for the labor to deem it necessary to cut her open. 

Rhaenyra let out a broken laugh and Aemond froze and Aegon felt his body become cold as he was sneered at. 

His half sister was glaring daggers at him.

"13 years.... 13 years old is what you deemed fine to consumate the marriage?"

She had begun to hiss before standing straight and let's out a laugh.

"By Good Gods, she was butchered for a son that didn't live past mere minutes of being born!!! They cut her like they did with my mother!!!" 

"Mother-" 

"My mother was 11 years old when father consumated their marriage, and she became pregnant at 13... Helaena's body was not ready for a pregnancy. Your mother is the reason your dear sister is dead dear brother. The reason why your wife is dead."

The brothers stared at their half sister as she took shaky breath and left.

Rumors spread more after the Princess left, but not after proposing a betrothal between Jaehaera and her Viserys.

How the Green Queen had her daughter butchered for a son. Not letting the midwives her stepdaughter brought over into the room until it was too late.

How the son, Jaehaerys, didn't live mere minutes into the world, that it was all for nothing. The boy was born with his heart outside his body, a hand missing, and an eye missing as well.

Everyone whispered that the Green Queen had given her daughter the same fate as Good Queen Aemma, but that Princess Helaena suffered quickly unlike the late Queen whos suffering lasted a decade and more.

Aegon would not remarry even with all the threatening Otto did and pleading his mother did, he didn't have the heart to remarry.

His sister, his wife suffered to bring his daughter into the world and he would remain a widow for the rest of his life.

Chapter Text

Corlys and Rhaenys had Laena and Laenor when his dear lady wife was 21 years old and he 33 years old.

He was so happy for their twins that he had even told her the two children were enough, he didn't want her to go through the battle of childbirth again.

He would be shocked that two years later after the twins his dear Rhaenys gave birth to another son.

The boy had her black hair that she had because of her Baratheon side and the Targaryen violet eyes but he looked very much like his father.

Laenus Valeryon was his name.

And he was 2 years younger than the twins.

And a year older than his cousin Princess Rhaenyra. 

Years pass, and Good Queen Aemma has passed from from a sickness, her last miscarriage causing her to become ill soon after.

Princess Rhaenyra is 15 years old when her dear mother passes away.

Corlys and Rhaenys want to betroth their daughter to Viserys, but he was in deep mourning for his dear wife that he would deny the talk of remarrying anyone when in council meetings.

Daemon had his marriage finally annulled by his brother, he was happy even and did his best to not cause trouble, he even asked for his niece's hand in marriage until he was surprised before becoming delighted to hear that he was to be betrothed to Lady Laena, who was of marriageable age.

She was 18 years old, but she declined other betrothals because many suitors became frightened when met with her wild energy which attracted him to her.

She was a wild dragon.

But she was enough to calm his inner dragon down was something he learned during the brief time they courted.

Corlys and Rhaenys wanted to betroth their Laenor with Rhaenyra when they heard the rumors of his preferences', and truly they were at first to believe it was a phase until Daemon approached them of not making the betrothal because Ser Laenus had confided in Daemon that he wished to marry Rhaenyra.

Princess Rhaenyra and Ser Laenus Valeryon were wed when they were 16 and 17 respectfully.

After the wedding, King Viserys announced that he was to not remarry for reason being that his heart and love only belonged to his sweet Aemma.

No one spoke against it because Daemon was to marry Lady Laena and Princess Rhaenyra was married now to Ser Laenus Valeryon. 

Princess Rhaenyra and her Prince Consort had 10 children together by a decade into the marriage and before Laenus Valeryon died from a hunt gone wrong.

He left his wife with 7 of their boys and 3 girls.

His sister soon followed after she gave birth to twin boys, she had lost too much blood by the time they came out of her, leaving her husband with 4 children, their twin girls who were 9 years old and their newborn twin boys.

Princess Rhaenyra mourned for her husband for 3 years before remarrying her uncle with Corlys and Rhaenys's acceptance.

They had 6 children together, making their family a blend of 20 children, much to the amusement of Corlys and Daemon there were more princes running around than princesses what with 12 of the children being boys and the rest being girls.

The Targaryan Dynasty was strong but Daemon knows his wife will always miss her first husband just as he would miss Laena.

Chapter Text

Aemma had done her duty for the Realm and her husband.

She had been able to give her husband an heir and a spare while also having a few other children.

Aegon, Helaena, Aemond, and Daeron were the children she had with her dear husband whom began to treat her as if she were made of glass once she had Daeron and declared they had enough children.

She was glad she was 16 years old when they consumated their marriage because now she had her children before she reached her mid 20s, Daeron being born when she was 21 years old.

She loved her children, but she was devastated when she had caught an illness and was informed by a maester that she would not survive the illness.

She was 30 when she passed.

Her Aegon was 14 almost 15, Helaena 14 (she and Viserys were guilty of not waiting another month after the month passed of Aegon's birth), Aemond 12, and Daeron was 11 years old when she passed away.

Aegon and his siblings were saddened and heartbroken by their mother's death, but they knew their father was being harrased by his council to remarry not even a month after their mother's death.

During that time their uncle became betrothed to Lady Laena Valeryon as she was 15 years old but Daemon wanted to marry her once she was much older, around 17 or 18 years old.

The children knew that their father needed to remarry, because just 4 children was not enough from what he was told, sure he had 3 sons and 1 daughter, but he at least needed a few more children from what Otto Hightower informed him.

Which led him to being betrothed to Alicent Hightower.

His daughter's 15 year old lady-in-waiting.

Alicent knew her duty was to marry and give her husband children, specifically heirs and she was ready to do her duty when her moon blood came and made her a woman.

Her father had told her what her duty was as a daughter a long time ago.

Now she was to be Queen Consort to the King.

His 2nd wife and Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.

She was now to marry and had a duty for the realm to give her husband more children.

She knew her old semi friend the Princess Helaena, The Realm's Dreamer, was hurt that it was her that was to marry her father, King Viserys.

But she had to know Alicent didn't really have a say, sure she had gone at night to comfort the king, but she didn't realize herself that this would lead to her marrying him.

She began to pray in her head that her duty is quick, that she bears the king a child soon after their marriage as she lays in their marriage bed and bites back pained whimpers as their marriage is consumated.

Her duty wasn't fufilled till she was 20 years old and had finally had a successful pregnancy.

After the marriage she did her marital duties, but her womb was barren no matter how much she prayed and even tried to bring her husband to bed no matter how much it made her feel dirty.

She became a step grandmother before she even had her first child.

Aegon and Helaena had married when they were 16 years old and the princess had successfully given birth to twins not even a year into the marriage.

She even met her good brother's twin daughters and eventually his son that Laena had not even 2 years into her marriage with Daemon. 

Laena and Daemon wed a week after Laena's 18th birthday and had quickly had their twin girls a year into their marriage, another year passed when she had their son, Baelon.

She was secretly envious of both her step-daughter and good sister, both had babes so quick into the marriage and she had been barren for 4 years, but now she was with child and was excited.

It was a girl.

Her first and only child was a girl.

Rhaenyra Targaryan was the only child that came from Alicent Hightower, the 2nd wife of the King.

She did keep trying, but months would go where her moon blood was gone only for so much blood to cover her thighs when she awoke and no matter how much she prayed nothing happened.

She was 27 when she got pregnant again.

This was her last chance, her husband beginning to become weak with his illness.

Her daughter was 7 years old and had been betrothed to Baelon, her cousin meaning Rhaenyra would be the Lady of Driftmark since Ser Laenor had passed his inheritence to Driftmark to his sister's son once he was born and Prince Daemon had spoken to her husband a mere few days after she birthed Rhaenyra to ask for the betrothal to which he accepted.

She prayed every night that it was a boy, it broke her heart when she heard her darling girl wish it was a girl and it named Visenya.

Her praying was all in her head though, she may have accepted The Fourteen, but her heart was loyal to the Seven.

Her labors began at night, and lasted almost 2 days before the Maester brought forth her husband.

She had became too weak, they had given her too much Milk of Poppy

The babe was taking too long

She couldn't hear much and her tears blurred her vision

And that's when she felt the pain and her weak screams filled the air.

Queen Alicent Hightower died in the birthing bed at 27 years old.

She had given birth to a stillborn boy.

She left behind a daughter who she secretly taught of The Seven, but would grow to become more Targaryan as she aged.

She was not mourned by many, the people saw the young Queen as too weak and barren, not good enough for the King as she had only given him one child unlike his first queen.

Rhaenyra was a delight in the Red Keep.

She loved her family.

Rhaenyra would be the youngest dragonrider a week after her mother's death and grow into her title of "The Realm's Delight" before becoming "Driftmark's Delight" and gave her husband many children, not suffering her mother's issues. 

Chapter Text

Aemma was now 18 years old and has been married to Viserys for almost a decade, and she still was without child even if her marriage with him was consumated when she was 11 years old.

She tried it in different positions and tried many potions from what she's heard from ladies of the court who reassured her that she's still young, that perhaps her body was just waiting for her to become a bit more mature.

However, she knew the issue wasn't her, she had visited Visery's chamber whenever her moon blood was close to coming, and even when it ended.

Nothing came.

She even confessed to Princess Rhaenys that she was positive it was Viserys who was the problem.

She visited Driftmark for a week, having informed her husband she wanted to go to visit their cousin and her husband.

Drinks were shared in a private chamber with the married couple and Aemma.

One thing led to another, and it ended up with their bodies under the covers.

It happened for a whole week where she would sneak into their chambers or they in her room.

Aemma had returned home and made sure to have made love to Viserys the same day she arrived, just like she did before she had left for the trip.

It did the trick because 3 weeks later was when she was given the news that she was with child.

She just hoped the child would come out looking like her.

This was what she prayed for the entirety of her pregnancy, for her child to look like her.

And her prayers were answered because once she delivered her beautiful girl, she saw that she had her skin and hair and looked like a bit like her.

This would help Rhaenyra in the future, she just didn't know it.

Aemma passed when Rhaenyra was 16 years old, she had died of an illness and the 34 year old Queen passed with her daughter and husband by her side.

Rhaenyra of course was hurt when her father remarried not even less than a year after her mother's death, and to her best friend at that.

What semi shocked her was that her father wanted her to marry soon after his marriage with Lady Alicent. From what her mother had said to him before her passing was that she had proposed a betrothal with her and her cousin Ser Laenor Valeryon. 

She knew of her cousin's preference and they spoke about it, that after their duties were met that they were able to be with their respective lovers in private.

Laenor was touched she had told him that with her he would be safe to do as he pleased, but in private.

They married a year later, Alicent's belly still empty and giving her a small pained smile during the wedding and the celebration.

Secretly they both brought Ser Harwin Strong and Joffrey into their chamber when consumating the marriage, however, it was Harwin whom spilled his seed into her womb the entire night.

Laenor tried to do his duty for two weeks, but each time he brought Ser Harwin and it was Ser Harwin who kept the bed warm with her.

So she knew the babe she was with a month after the wedding was Ser Harwin's. 

Her heart was reassured by Laenor that no matter how the babe turned out that they were his.

So it was a shock to her and Laenor when Jacaerys was born with the skin of Laenor's and with violet eyes. The only thing about them that they were certain pointing to Harwin being his true father was the black hair, except he looked like a Valeryon babe.

Rhaenyra didn't know what this meant.

Until Corlys and Rhaenys sat her down to speak her the truth in secret in the birthing room once everyone had left.

They had reassured her that they knew of Laenor's preference, but other than that they told her the truth.

She was shocked, but she wasn't surprised because Alicent was still barren, no child has set in her stomach, and she didn't know when the poor brunette would look for a solution.

Rhaenyra had Lucerys then two sets of twins and a set of triplets before a decade into her marriage with Laenor, but they both knew Harwin was the father, the only child between them that took after Harwin was their youngest daughter Aemma whom had Rhaenyra's skin tone and Harwin's eye color and curled brown hair.

Harwin knew the children were his, and he did not care how they looked like Laenor in some way, but he knew they were his thanks to being told the secret.

A decade into the marriage Alicent finally had a child, but it was a girl named Helaena and she had her mother's looks.

Rhaenyra knew the girl was a bastard, but she didn't want to endanger the girl, but she did give Alicent a look as the Queen had her fingertips bloody from nerves.

That was the only child Alicent had, and accepted the betrothal of Jace and Helaena to keep her daughter safe when she thought of it.

Rhaenyra had 6 more children before she was queen, her uncle was her hand.

Daemon and Laena had proposed a betrothal with Jace and Baela, they had convinced her that Jace could have 2 wives like their ancestor. 

Lucerys was betrothed to Rhaena who would be his lady consort of Driftmark.

As Helaena grew everyone ignored how she she had Dornish features and once grown and older and married, Jace would threaten anyone who called his brunette wife a bastard.

He knew she was from the whispers from his mother and father, but she was not at fault for her mother's actions.

The secret of Rhaenyra's true father would be kept secret from her descendants for ends of time and Strong Blood ran through her descendants.

Chapter Text

Alicent Hightower knew she had a duty to do for the realm.

She was now married to the King, and now a step mother to the 8 year old Princess.

The spoiled little girl made her angry with how the girl acted as if she was owed something just because she was made heir.

She shall do what Aemma Arryn failed at and give her king plenty of sons. She was young and fertile.

Or so she thought.

She was 18 years old when she married the King.

She was now 20 years old and her father arguing with her about how useless her womb was being.

How she was barren or wasn't doing her marital duties correctly.

She insisted that she was doing everything possible to be with child.

However, her moon blood would skip for months before she'd wake up with a lot of blood in her bed sheets and thighs.

She was 24 years old when she finally came with child.

The Princess was 14 and already betrothed to her 16 year old cousin, her father having informed his daughter and council that Rhaenyra would marry once she was 16.

Alicent hoped she had many sons before the brat of a princess had a child of her own.

Her hopes were dashed for her firstborn when she gave birth.

It was a boy yes.

However, the boy was stillborn and even missing a leg.

Years would pass and she either miscarried or her babes came out horrifyingly deformed. Some missing eyes, some missing arms or legs, and other times their heart was outside of their body.

Her body grew weak, her figure even changed after her many pregnancies and she could hear the mocking tones of the ladies and other nobles in court.

The princess had better luck, she had given her husband 4 children by the time she was 20 years old.

Jacaerys, Lucerys, Joffrey and Aemma. The last two babes were twins. Even with the rumors of the princess being more than friends with her sworn shield Harwin Strong her children had their father's coloring and black hair, only Luke and Aemma had their mother's hair.

Alicent prayed that she at least have a chance to have a child that lived.

She was a grandmother before she even had the chance to become a mother and she hated that. 

She was 31 when she passed away in the birthing bed, body too weak and too tired to keep pushing. She screamed in pain as a maester put his hands inside her to pull the child out of her womb.

She felt her breathing slow down and she weakly begged for them to show her babe, but she was denied it and her heart froze in fear as the midwives shrieked upon seeing the babe.

The last thing she heard before she passed was how they described her son.

He had no hands or feet and was missing a part of his skull.

Crown Princess Rhaenyra was the only child of King Viserys.

She was blessed with a powerful womb from what the realm whispered because after the twins she gave her husband 3 more babes before he passed away.

Her uncle Prince Daemon and his wife had 4 more babes after the twins. Three boys and one final girl.

The princess mourned for her husband for two years before she married Ser Harwin Strong with her father's blessing and had five more children. Three dark haired boys and two dark haired girls who took their mother's looks.

The realm thrived once Rhaenyra became queen.

Chapter Text

Aegon sneaks into Nyra's bed chambers and looks around and finds his older half sister's diary and looks through it to see if his sister had any secrets.

All he saw was when she noted when she was most fertile and her teasing remarks of how Harwin got into an accident breaking a limb a month or two before she concieved her brownish black haired children.

Turns out the only intamite thing the two ever did was Harwin just rubbed her sore feet and read to her.

Aegon was surprised to read the innocent interactions the two mostly had and decided to use this as proof.

Even then he read the entry of how Harwin had gotten a few broken fingers and was sick for a week or two, around the same time Joffrey was conceived. The newborn babe having been demanded to be seen by his mother annoyed Aegon.

He changed his mind he was going to demand an audience with his father in the throne room to put a stop to the rumors hurting his sister.

He declared he was sober and was being an ass by sneaking to Nyra's chambers and found a diary proving his nephews were trueborn.

In the end Rheanyra and Laenor are blushing a bit with how Aegon said they did their duties when she was most fertile and likely the two were very drunk. 

Chapter Text

Just Nyra or Aemma making a deal with Sebastian to keep the Targaryen dynasty strong

...Daemon would definitely like Grell

If Aemma made the deal she'd probably have the mark be in her hand while Nyra has it in her eye or tongue

If it was Aemma who did the contract to secure the Targaryen line and have her husband have his heir and spare I definitely see Sebby giving Aemma potions and such unless he preps her meals and drinks personally so no Otto scheming and shit 

With Nyra probably summons him to make sure she stays heir which leads to him helping her have trueborn kiddos with Laenor and such

Chapter Text

Idk I'm just thinking of a scenario where Dean Winchester is sent back jn time or sent to the HOTD world and somehow Rhaenyra falls for him.

Or Lucifer idk

Or Castiel or anything angel or archangel helping Aemma deliver her children 

But I like to imagine children of Dean Winchester and Rhaenyra being more badass 

Chapter Text

Aemma was bedded at 14 years old and was her body was well developed to allow her to be safe in the pregnancy. 

However, a decade after her first pregnancy she has only given birth to girls.

Rhaenyra was the eldest

Aemmarys was born 18 months after Rhaenyra 

Visera and Narys were twins born 2 years after Aemmarys 

Allyson was born a year and a half later

Aegera and Anerys were born 2 years after Allyson 

Daena was born 2 years after the twins.

She had given the realm 8 princesses.

Daemon, her good brother was shockingly happy that she at least had healthy children, not caring that they were girls.

He spoiled each one, even letting his twin boys he had from Rhea Royce interact with the girls.

However, Rhaenyra was almost 10 years old when her husband asks for an annulment because the marriage has only resulted in daughters.

Understandable that she would be angry, she gave 13 years of her life for the marriage, and he wants to push her away just because he wanted a male heir.

It took almost only a month for the annulment to happen and thanks to Daemon, Aemma was able to get a great deal from the divorce.

Her girls were able to keep their royal titles, and Rhaenyra as the eldest daughter was allowed to control who got dragons/eggs from any future children her sisters had in the future as well as her future half siblings.

A month after Rhaenyra's 10th birthday the king remarried the 17-year-old Lady Alicent Hightower which had angered the Valeryons

Aemma would've been annoyed, but she decided to focus on her girls whom she was so glad were willing to part from their father. 

Shockingly it was Daemon whom followed her back to her home.

Two decades later and Aemma Arryn, who was now 44 years old is standing next to her daughters as her cousin Daemon orders his dragon to breathe fire into the pyre that held her ex husband's corpse.

Daemon was now King, he had confessed to her that he didn't want to be King, but Viserys was never able to change who was his heir thanks to Alicent, his 2nd wife, who just gave him more daughters whom he ignored unless it was to arrange them marriages for alliances. 

Dowager Queen Alicent Hightower had only given her husband 4 daughters, and no sons, her daughters were each born 11 months apart, Aemma knew she should have felt bad if it wasn't from the rumors that the Dowager Queen had tried to change the decor of the Red Keep to almost making it as if it were a place to worship The Seven among other things, how she tried to be hostile to Nyra and tried to outrank Rhaenyra during her wedding with Harwin Strong.

Daemon had married Laena Valeryon a few years after his first wife died and he had become intrigued with Laena when she mounted Vaghar.

The now Queen Consort had given Daemon twin girls the same time Rhaenyra had Jace.

Daemon's heir was actually Baela and had asked his niece if she would accept a batrothal between her first born son and his Baela.

Rhaenyra had informed him that once her son was older he would be informed.

The daughters of the Dowager Queen were not that favored by the Realm, Aega was the firstborn of Viserys and Alicent whom was arranged to marry a Lannister.

Aenna Targaryan had been betrothed to Daemon's first son, Maelor Targaryan whom may have taken his mother's looks but had his father's fiery spirit.

Surprisingly to the amusement of King Daemon and the horror of Dowager Queen Alicent the two got along swimmingly even if their age gap was 10 years.

Helaena was betrothed to Rhaenyra's firstborn whom was to inherit Harwin's title once he was of age.

Daena was sent to Old Town to become either a Septa or was to be betrothed to Joffrey, whichever King Daemon believed was best.

As for Aemma's girls they all married for love and at the pace they wanted.

Rhaenyra married Harwin Strong when she was 18 years old.

Aemmarys married Otto Hightower's nephew much to the shock of the family, but Daemon had reassured her that her namesake was pulling the strings of that marriage.

Aemma's daughters married for love.

She was glad she accepted the annulment with Viserys.

Chapter Text

Rhaenyra and Laenor were only married for less than 3 years, and the only children to prove it was Jacearys and Lucerys. 

Although, he did not live long enough to know of Luke since he passed the exact day his son was conceived, to which Rhaenyra was happy her dear sweet boy came from that day, but she was also embarrassed whenever she remembered how he was conceived.

Everyone in the Red Keep knew the day that The Pearl of Driftmark was conceived was also the day where the Prince Consort had passed.

King Viserys, Queen Alicent Hightower, and Ser Criston Cole were walking towards the hallway that held the rooms of the princess and prince consort.

They were walking the halls, a few guards standing where they were ordered to protect the young married couple, Ser Harwin Strong standing in front of the door, he gave them a short nod before a sharp scream came from Rhaenyera's room and Harwin didn't hesitate to rush into the room, as the king and queen rushed in as well, one worried for his daughter and the other curious.

What surprised them was Rhaenyera who had her bed sheets covering her body as she stood away from her bed.

The shocking part was that the Prince Consort Laenor was laying on the bed with no clothes on and not breathing.

After that day some people of the court would whisper that it was a very interesting way to pass, causing the Princess to feel somewhat embarrassed.

More whispers came about when not even a month after her husband's death, a maester confirmed that the princess was with child.

Corlys and Rhaenys came to the Red Keep when they heard of their son's passing and extended their stay once they learned their gooddaughter was with child.

Queen Alicent would've spread rumors if it weren't for the fact that it would've been at bad taste since Rhaenyra's husband just died.

8 Months after Laenor's death, Lucerys Valeryon was born.

The babe was born with the skintone and eye color of his father's with his grandmother's hair color and his aunt's curls.

His older brother, the 2 year old Jacerys Valeryon was held by his grandmother Rhaenys as he met his newborn brother.

As he grew up he was the spitting image of his maternal grandmother with his father's features.

No one dared mention how The Pearl of Driftmark's father passed, but he did find out once he was 15 years old.

He confronted his heavily pregnant mother, whom was pregnant with her 5th child, but 3rd child with Ser Harwin Strong, and she sheepishly admitted that he was conceived the same day his father died.

This is the only thing his uncles can tease him about.

Chapter Text

Just a silly au where Nyra got bored of Cole taking off his armor and ended just going to sleep and leaving Cole locked outside.

Rhaenyra of course is confronted and just confesses what she was going to do, but that she got bored after ten minutes.

Alicent of course is weary

thats all tbh

Chapter Text

Rhaenyra accepted the betrothal that her father pushed forward to her when once she realized Daemon had lied and said that he slept with her.

So, her marriage with Ser Harwin Strong was rushed to protect her reputation.

She was worried of course, but her now Husband reassured her he didn't care that she wasn't a maiden before they wed.

Once a month passed and she was confirmed with child she became worried for who the true father was.

Harwin of course reassured her that he would not care whom fathered the child, he was the father of the child since he was the one going to help her raise them.

Jace Strong was born 8 and a half moons after the wedding, his lungs strong but he was very small.

He had dark black curls and his mother's eyes.

Only 3 people could notice the few Dornish features the heir of The Realm's Delight had.

His mother

Harwin Strong

And Criston Cole

And if that's why the Queen's guard showed slight favoritism to the young dark haired heir other than the Queen's boys than that was no one's business.

The Princess had 7 more children with her husband, 3 of whom were dark haired and the other 4 had their mother's hair color.

The Queen had her suspicions, but she had taken Cole as her guard after the princess had asked for new guard after her wedding occurred.

Everyone believed that Rhaenyra was to be a beta once she presented and would wed an Alpha or Beta, possibly her omega cousin Laenor.

However, her father waited for her to present and wait till she was 16 or 18 to wed her with anyone of her choosing. 

Although, he knew he had to have betroth her to perhaps one of his cousin's children if things were well aligned to clear the air for the transgression he did to them for marrying Alicent Hightower.

However, everyone was shocked when Laena, surprising everyone by being an early bloomer and showed everyone she was an alpha and as if to make things better, Rhaenyra presented as an omega.

Rhaenyra was 16 years old when Laena at 14 presented as an alpha.

So a betrothal was arranged for them to wed once Laena was 16 years old from what Rhaenyra asked of him, Laena's parents were glad the two were betrothed.

Once Laena turned 16 years old she and Rhaenyra wed a week after her birthday.

Not even 9 months into the marriage Rhaenyra had Jace whom took after his mother's skin tone and his sire's mother's hair color.

A year after Jace was born, Luke was born who had his sire's curls and skin tone alongside the hair color of Rhaenys. As he grew up he would hear the whispers that he was Aemma reborn with how he looked similar to her.

Two years after Luke, Rhaenyra had given birth to their twin girls who looked almost identical to Laena, Rhaena and Baela.

During that time Daemon had wed Laenor after the omega had run off to help him in the stepstone after making sure to take suppressant potions.

They had twin girls not even a year into their marriage, Leanara and Rhaenar.

Laena also made sure to show Alicent that she was going to do her best to protect Nyra when the Queen had tried to demand seeing Lucerys minutes after his birth.

Laena and Rhaenyra had a total of 10 children before Viserys passed and Aegon II usurped Rhaenyra.

Laenor and Daemon had 6 children.

Laena had been the one to bring hell to King's Landing by burning it with her goodbrother Daemon had caused everyone to accept her wife as Queen.

Chapter Text

Basically Rhaenyra is still the oldest of the twins, but sometimes the realm have difficulty telling them apart unless the other, Rheanna, has her hair up to show off her birthmark.

It is her who is in Rhaenyra's chambers and sees Daemon's note to meet Nyra and she makes sure her birthmark is covered so Daemon doesn't suspect it's not Nyra.

However, he does and people in thr Keep know Nyra is not out because she's in public with Criston Cole whom she sends away for the night since she likes to spend time with Aegon and Helaena. 

It is Rheanna whom Criston sleeps with and he realizes his mistake.

A drunk Daemon confesses to his brother it was Rhaeanna whom he deflowered and Otto knows it may be true because Rhaenyra was seen with Criston Cole in public before spending the night with her half siblings.

Viserys betrothes his 2nd daughter with Laenor and Rhaenyra with Harwin Strong after some talking with Nyra.

Criston confesses to Rhaenyra about him sleeping with her sister and idk how yall want her to react.

Probably hostile idk but both are still friends and loyal to each other but do secretly criticize Rhaeanna for her blatant bastards who are born with auburn hair.

Nyra and Harwin have 7 children by thr 10 yr time skip, the boys with their father's curls and mothers hair color and the girls with brown curls

Chapter Text

Viserys never wanted to remarry after his Aemma died, but his council kept pushing. 

However, he decided only to marry for companionship, he wished to marry only for friendship, to have someone to bring him comfort in his broken heart.

And he could not do that to Lady Laena Valeryon, she was no more than 12 years old.

And she deserved a better man to be her husband.

And the woman who would be his wife he decided it to be Alicent Hightower. 

His daughter's friend.

The girl was 16 years old and from what he knew no lord or any other suitor was brought forth for Otto's daughter. 

Surely she was fine with being his wife.

Especially when she wouldn't be Queen. 

She had visited him for many months, giving him comfort and listening to his stories that he knew she could not understand.

But first he had to speak with his daughter first before he voiced his decision to his council.

Rhaenyra had been shocked that her father had asked to speak with just her, but she knew it must've been important and had gone to meet him.

She was shocked and saddened when she heard who her father was to marry, however she was shocked to hear that he just wanted companionship in the marriage, and that the marriage would never be consumated because he couldn't bear to touch any other woman who wasn't Aemma.

Rhaenyra was somewhat glad, she knew her friend would not have to bear the fear of having children.

As years pass after her marriage with Viserys, Lady Alicent Hightower had at first been nervous knowing she had a duty to give the king children, but then she felt immense relief once as soon as they had wed that he declared the marriage was that of companionship.

He just wanted someone to keep him company and so that he wasn't alone.

Then she and the realm had been shocked when he says he was abdicating the throne and declaring Rhaenyra as Queen and that the coronation was to take place a week after their wedding.

More shocking when it was declared that Daemon and Rhaenyra would be betrothed till Rhaenyra was of age.

Her father had raged, feeling humiliated and angry at the turn of events. 

That he now would not have any of his blood in the throne in the near future.

She was semi resentful once Rhaenyra and Daemon began to have children when Nyra was 18 years old.

The Queen and King Consort had 8 children by the time a decade passed in their marriage and into 14 years of her reign.

Alicent had understood her marriage was just that of close companionship and everyone knew it, but she became curious of what love making could be.

Eventually she began to have an affair with Ser Criston Cole after The Queen had changed for him to guard Alicent.

The two became close friends and then it led to more which led to the affair that they tried their best to be discreet about.

By the time Viserys passed, Queen Rhaenyra and King Consort Daemon had a total of 14 children and the court and even the royal couple turned a blind eye when the widowed Alicent and Ser Criston married not even 6 months after Viserys passed.

Sadly not even a year into the marriage she passed away in childbirth, she gave birth to a girl named Rhae Cole.

She suffered complications and Criston died after she did of a sickness.

Rhaenyra and Daemon made sure that no one in the Hightower house tried to take the babe and ended up betrothing Rhae with their youngest son, Daenor Targaryan.

The babe was given the title Lady Rhae Cole who had black curls and her father's skin tone and her mother's eyes.

Sure Hightower blood mixed with Targaryan blood, but the eventual children the couple would have would be too far down in the line of succession, their children would either be septas or maesters or be married off to low nobles.

Chapter Text

Chapter Text

Imagine if you will in this au where the children are trueborn Valeryon, but out of curiosity Rhaenyra and Laenor make a little poster with all the family members and houses their blood contains because of the marriages such as how Rhaenys is still a Baratheon and how Nyra has Arryn blood in her

They make a few guesses how their first child may look genetic wise and Harwin is with them.

One thing leads to another and suddenly its public knowledge that that the Crown Princess and her Prince Consort were making bets in what part of the family tree the child would look like.

Eventually many in the realm got curious and made bets, even the Valeryons.

Once Jace is born of course the whispers begin before people are reminded that the babe has his grandmother's Baratheon black hair that perhaps he took his mother's skin tone

It's not till he's a few months old that they see the starfish birthmark on his neck that they know his trueborn and the cycle continues for each child they have.

Chapter Text

Idk why but there was a telenovela I watched a year ago where one of the side characters, who's a female, her female line on her family idk which side is cursed so that any man who sleeps with any of the female family member dies after a day or two after sleeping with them.

I'm just imagining either Aemma's family curse having that or the female Targaryen line. 

So yes Viserys does die after bedding Aemma, but she still has Rhaenyra whom as she grows up her mother, dowager princess Aemma tells her daughter of the female line curse.

Even warns Rhaenys and Corlys.

Daemon heeds her warning and makes sure that Rhea Royce still conceives his children, the loophole being he fills a cup with his seed and helps her get it in her.

Eventually Rhaenyra and Laenor marry and yep rhey do the same and both are very glad they only have boys

Chapter Text

I believe someone said that Aemma had black hair, or that even the Arryn line had black hair so imagine if you will that Rhaenyra had been born with long black straight hair.

Aemma would joke to Rhaenys that she and Rhaenyra were almost like twins, but she heard the whispers that her little girl was more Arryn than Targaryan even if she did have a dragon.

Rhaenyra would proudly have her hair down with a few flowers, she had many ladies in waiting, all with black hair other than Alicent Hightower.

Daemon was still the King's heir and even Viserys heard the whispers that his daughter wasn't his child, but he knew that wasn't true at all.

When Aemma passed because of an illness and he soon wed Alicent much to the heartbreak of his daughter and she was at least glad that she now had siblings, she was even fascinated that they had the silver white hair and the purple eyes.

Even after Alicent gave him sons Viserys still didn't change who his heir was.

Tbh idk yall can make something from this tbh

Chapter Text

Chapter Text

The Realm were happy when Princess Helaena "The Dragon Dreamer" when it was announced that she was with child so soon after her marriage with her brother the firstborn son, Aegon.

Especially the Greens because they knew that if Helaena gave her husband trueborn children, then it was a better chance to get Aegon into the throne.

It went down the drain when the 13 year old went into labor and delivered twins.

Twins, a boy named Jaehaerys and a girl named Jaehaera.

The babes were bald, yet when they opened their eyes were not that of what was expected of Targaryens.

Alicent had frozen when she was handed over her grandchildren, they didn't seem like Targaryen like her own children. She frowned as she noticed the babes had brown eyes as well.

She shook her head as if to shake away any bad thoughts, her dear sweet girl just gave birth, she was too tired and sore to be disciplined about her newborn twins.

However, Otto was brave enough to rudely tell his granddaughter that she gave Aegon his heir, but he needed a spare. A spare that she needed to have sooner since she was still very young and fertile.

Helaena sat there on the bed with sweaty skin and tired eyes before nodding as if accepting whatever her grandsire had told her.

Once the twins were a week old and after Princess Helaena had slightly healed from the birth, they were presented to the court.

Rhaenyra had come with her husband Laenor and their 3 boys, they had arrived a day after the birth. However, they had been a bit busy to check up on the new mother and the babes.

The court was silent however when the twins were presented and Viserys loudly spoke about the twins lovely dark hair. 

Rhaenyra had decided that her family would stay for a few months before going back to Dragonstone.

Funnily enough, 2 months after having the twins it was announced that both Helaena and Rhaenyra were with child again.

Alicent remembered how she couldn't try again to spread rumors about Rhaenyra birthing bastards since the boys had the Valeryon birthmarks in very noticeable places.

She remembered how Viserys had ordered the execution of those who spread the rumors that she made. The only thing her and her father could do was keep pushing that as the firstborn son, that Aegon should now be the heir.

8 months after she announced she was with child, Helaena gave birth to Maelor, the babe having noticeable black hair.

A month later Rhaenyra gave birth to twin girls, they had their father's skin color and aunt's curly hair with their mother's hair color. 

Visera and Vaema were their names that their mother had given them.

The twins and Maelor were almost 2 years old and 1 year old when the whispers began.

"They're bastards."

"They're not full Targaryen."

"Surely she wasn't satisfied with her husband and took a lover."

"Odd, the babes came very early after the wedding, surely she wasn't a maiden as they wed."

The whispers had began once they noticed that the twins and Maelor's hair and eyes didn't match either of their parents.

Rhaenyra's twin girls were proof that their older brothers' looks were because both their parents were very different in looks.

No one doubted the parentage of Rhaenyra's boys after Viserys loudly exclaimed how his grandsons birthmarks were in very noticeable areas.

Jace had his in neck in the left side, Luke's was in his forehead under his curls, and Joffrey had it in his wrist to which Corlys and Rhaenys both gifted their grandsons with jewelry that showcased the birthmarks, even Vaemond did as well when he realized that they were trueborn Valeryons.

But now it seemed as if the Gods were punishing her daughter for the slight she did to Rhaenyra and her sons.

Her grandchildren were cursed with dark hair, and dark eyes.

She heard the whispers, she saw the sneers the court gave her daughter and her grandchildren.

"The Dragon Whore," were one of the cruel names they gave her sweet girl.

Cruel whispers were thrown at her sweet girl and her grandchildren.

Surprisingly it was Aegon that was defending his sister/wife's honor by having Ser Criston almost attack anyone who he heard say the rumors.

Unsurprisingly, their father ignored the rumors and spent more time around Rhaenyra and her children and even with Corlys and Rhaenys.

Helaena's children were 4 and 3 years old when their world were turned upside down.

Much to Queen Alicent and Otto's shock and horror, a major number of their supporters dropped their cause once they heard the rumors of Helaena's children being bastards.

More shocking was when out of nowhere Viserys raged and publicly humiliated Helaena by speaking how he was given evidence that her children were indeed bastards and not of Aegon. That she had begun an affair with a nobleman who fathered all three of her children and not Aegon.

Helaena was stunned before desperately trying to defend herself and deny the accusations, but she was screamed at.

She was told that her three children were to be declared bastards and she had need to try and make trueborn children, not bastards.

Aegon tried to defend his wife and children but was threatened that he and Helaena were to be stripped of their royal titles if they tried anything.

The couple could do nothing but accept the words of their father.

Chapter Text

Corlys and Rhaenys had a mind to storm up to Viserys, the man had demanded that his 3rd grandson whom had just been born be sent to him to examine not even mere minutes of being born.

It resulted in a shaky Rhaenyra who had blood dripping down her thighs and into the floor to be in his chambers with her husband, Laenor, and a lady in waiting of Rhaenyra's.

Viserys took one look of Joffrey and had glared at his clearly tired daughter and warned her with an icy tone that she was in thin ice if she kept disrespecting her duties.

The couple had walked in when they heard that.

"Father, our boys are Laenor's h-"

She was cut off with her father handing her back the newborn and he pointed to her face that she had one more chance to not embarrass her husband and give him a trueborn child.

They even noticed the Queen Consort, Alicent Hightower, eyeing the new babe with slight interest.

"He has his nose," she said a bit softly as she could semi see a few features that the babe may have shared with its father.

Viserys glared at his wife whom began to pick at her nails and he left the room, eventually Rhaenys and Corlys helped their gooddaughter and son go back to her chambers with the newborn. Only Queen Alicent stayed and she was thinking in her mind that perhaps this one was not a bastard.

Rumors had spread through the Realm soon after Rhaenyra had her first babe, how the king was being a tyrant to his firstborn, how he was calling her a harlot for her children taking her coloring and having dark hair using that as proof that the babes were not her husband's.

They had been shocked at the rumors that Harwin was being named as the true father of her sons when it was well known that Harwin was away from the Red Keep for a month or two when each of the boys were conceived.

More alarming was when once Joffrey was 6 months old, Jace was 4 years old, and Luke was 2 years old the princess was disinherited and her half brother, the 8 year old Aegon was made heir.

What Viserys didn't know was that everyone believed Aegon was unworthy, they weren't stupid, they knew the new Crown Prince was a bastard, having been born 8 months after his parents marriage. Sure they had been told that he was born much too early, rumors spread among midwives that Queen Alicent's pregnancy was full term.

Aegon Targaryan was a bastard and it was pretty much an open secret around the Realm that the Royal could believed was well hidden.

Otto Hightower believed he succeeded in his plot to place his blood in the throne, but he was very much wrong.

Eventually his allies slowly pulled away once they had done the math and looked at the facts and began to see that Rhaenyra was the rightful heir.

Rhaenyra and her little family left for Driftmark soon after Joffrey turne 1 year old, and they resided there for a decade.

By then it was too late for Viserys to make it up to his daughter and brother whom went to live with their cousin in Driftmark with his wife Laena.

When the entire Valeryan family came Viserys saw his mistake.

Because in each of the boys skin it showed proof they were of Valeryon descent.

They had the birthmark and it would seem as if their grandparents had gifted them jewelry to show it off.

Jace's birthmark was in the middle of his neck, the high collar clothes he had worn back then prevented him from seeing the mark, and it was shown off thanks to the jeweled choker his grandsire had gifted him.

Luke had his in his forehead, under his curls that were shown off thanks to the pearl crown his grandsire had ordered for him to wear to show off the birthmark.

Joffrey had it under his left ear, he had pearl earrings on.

And to Viserys's surprise Rhaenyra and Laenro had twin girls whom were 9 years old.

Aemma and Amaela Valeryon who birthmarks were on their eyelids but on the opposite eye.

What with how his cousin's husband had used money to show off the birthmarks it showed the realm how wrong he was about his daughter's sons.

What he didn't know was that this was what caused the rebellion to begin, being gathered up by Daemon.

His brother who made his allies and other kingdoms see how much of a fool his brother was for disinheriting his own daughter just because her children did not look a bit like their father except for the birthmarks he was too blind to see.

Chapter Text

Criston confesses to Rhaenyra that he plans to pretend to not be her sword shield anymore so that Alicent can make him hers so that he could gain all the secrets he needed to help her stay as heir.

He warms Rhaenyra's bed at night whenever Alicent dismisses him for the night and he very much is the father of Jace, Luke, and Joffrey, but everyone in the Red Keep believes Harwin to be their true father since the 3 boys were pale skinned like their mother.

He made sure to be seen as harsh to Nyra's boys and made it seem as if he didn't want to train them, having Harwin train them while he trained Aegon and Aemond, but not so well as he made them promise their mother and grandsire.

He secretly trained his 3 boys at night.

He played his part and killed Otto the night of the dinner that his Rhaenyra attended with her children and with Daemon.

He even did a good job poisoning Aegon and Aemond slowly through the years, their bones weak among other well hidden health conditions.

Helaena was saved from bearing a child for her husband/brother since Criston had been able to get a potion that ruined Aegon's fertility so everyone suspected that either Helaena was barren or that Aegon was not doing his duty. 

So once it was known that Viserys had passed and Rhaenyra had no difficulties coming back to the Red Keep that's when he set his plan in motion.

He had Aegon and Aemond killed quickly by poison in their drinks before they went to sleep.

Alicent was found in her room drenched in her own blood holding a knife, she had harmed herself out of fear of what her step-daughter was to do.

The only child left of the Green Queen was Helaena whom was left alone to mourn the death of her family for a year by her older half sister.

Rhaenyra was made Queen soon after her return, the realm having to accept it once it was well known that neither of the Green Queen's son were alive and it had come out that an illness had swept up most of the Hightowers so no more scheming could be done especially when majority of the houses that were siding with the Greens were also struck by death and illness leaving the houses down by small numbers.

Queen Rhaenyra, to bring her family together, declared Princess Helaena to betrothed with her eldest son, Jace and with Lady Baela, which was accepted when Helaena declared and swore that her marriage with Prince Aegon to be unconsumated since her brother had been much too weak to make them a true married couple.

Before the wedding occured for the 3 royals, Rhaenyra had her 3 first boys meet her in her chambers and all 3 were shocked when Ser Criston Cole confessed to what his plan had been.

Even more shocked when they learned that he was their true father.

Chapter Text

Just a random au where Rhaenyra is allergic to seamen which is very much an actual thing so its just a funny idea tbh.

Just the idea of Nyra having no reaction with Cole because he probably didn't cum inside her, but yeah she has a bad reaction every time with Laenor. 

Chapter Text

An au where Harwin and Nyra have successfully switched all three of their babes with stillborn babes that his bastard sisters has had and they're secretly raised hidden away knowing that they were princes.

Viserys eventually annuls the marriage of Rhaenyra and Laenor since he believes no children were born healthy and live in the marriage.

Rhaenyra and Harwin marry of course and have more children, they secretly exchange letters with his sister to see how their boys are doing and once the war begins they send their children to hide away where his sister has them.

They survive of course after Aegon and Aemond are poisoned by whom they believed were their supporters, Daeron was found to be beaten bloody and his insides torn out of him.

This was the moment that Queen Rhaenyra and King Consort Harwin brought their first 3 sons back home finally, publicly announcing them and legitimizing them.

Helaena was the only one to survive she had been unable to give Aegon a child, so Queen Rhaenyra betrothed her with Jace.

Jace was made Crown Prince once he was legitimized, his younger siblings understood that he was the firstborn meaning he was their mother's heir.

Chapter Text

Dowager Queen Alicent Hightower stood there frozen, her hands resting in front of her fighting the urge to pick at the skin of her nails, without flinching as her father was executed in front of her, his head was cut off.

For treason they said.

He was a danger to the throne, to the Targaryen royal family.

He and every person that supported the Hightowers were being executed for treason.

The same day Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen became Queen Regnant with her husband Harwin Strong becoming King Consort after King Viserys I passed after being ill for so long.

She was the only one accepted as the next ruler since Prince Daemon and Lady Laena Valeryon declared they prefered to not become King and Queen Consort.

There was no one the realm can really choose since the Dowager Queen failed at the task she was meant to do once she became Queen after marrying King Viserys when she was barely 14 years old.

She never gave her husband any children.

Well... any child that survived the birth.

All her babes were born stillborn, and she never got a chance to hold them.

The pregnancies were so bad for her that she and Viserys had been advised to not try for any more children despite her young age and good fertility.

All the blame went to her though, because everyone knew that once it was pointed out that she was unwell and unfit to be able to carry anymore babes, Viserys began to have mistresses and flaunt them around court.

He even proved that he wasn't the issue when many of them gave him many children, sure they were bastards, but even Rhaenyra encouraged her father to give them royal titles.

Nothing big, just acknowledging them as his children.

He had many bastard children, he just never legitimized them or placed them in the line of succession, all of the Seven Kingdoms knew they preferred the legitimate firstborn daughter to a bastard as heir to the throne.

And everyone knew how far Prince Daemon would go to keep his niece in the throne.

So no, none of King Viserys's bastards were legitamized, they were acknowledged more as if they were Crown Princess Rhaenyra's cousins with the way the king acted and called them his nieces and nephews, forever placing them below his trueborn daughter.

Sure, some were married off to other houses once old enough to make alliances, not caring if the other houses internally felt it disrespectful to their heirs or daughters being married off to bastards, but at least they were reassured by the Crown Princess that since they were technically Targaryans that once she became Queen, she'd try and see if they could gain a dragon.

Her first babe was a boy from what she had been told, but she had been so exhausted and in pain when she was birthing her babe.

The pregnancy had been difficult from the beginning with how severely sick she had been throughout and the anxiety of hoping it was a boy to secure her husband's line for the succession.

It did not help the whispers and rumors of her whoring herself out to the King before Good Queen Aemma had even died.

The rumors stressed her more.

She had been in labor for almost 2 days and she had become so tired and week once the 2nd day began and she had to be ordered to push once they finally saw the head.

However, she was much too weak to push and she forced herself with all her strength to push, with one last scream of agony she pushed and after a few seconds her head felt dizzy and she closed her eyes as she fell unconscious. She never noticed the maester and midwives glancing at her and the babe.

She had woken up to her father seething and telling her she failed her duty as queen.

She had been asleep for 2 days, her babe had been stillborn.

It had been a boy who never awoke.

He had her hair color.

They had already burned the body after half a day after his birth.

She had mourned for her child in secret because she knew the court was full of people that looked for weakness.

She got pregnant again soon after 2 months after she birthed her stillborn son.

However, she had gone into labor 2 months too early. She had gone into labor because she was getting anxious and had witnessed Crown Princess Rhaenyra and Ser Harwin Strong strolling in the gardens. She had heard that Rhaenyra had accepted a betrothal with Ser Criston Cole and had promised Princess Rhaenys that any child she had would be betrothed to any child that Laena or Laenor had.

She had known sooner or later that Rhaenyra would marry someone and then had to start a family to produce and heir.

And she was scared for how her stepdaughter would do if she ever became Queen, what would she do to her siblings.

Her labors had lasted two days as well, and she had fallen unconscious again as soon as she felt her womb was empty.

She woke up again to her father seething and announcing that she had birthed a useless dead girl.

To do better and try again because he has been noticing the King having been eyeing other noble women, that he could discard her for failing in her duties. That she needs to do her wifely and queen duties, especially as a Hightower.

And she failed two more times.

Both times she went to early labor because both times she caught Viserys with a noble lady in a room fucking.

The court mocked her because she couldn't control her emotions.

Crown Princess Rhaenyra had already married Ser Harwin Strong, her prince consort when she was in her 3rd pregnancy. 

It had been announced that the princess was with child not even two months after the wedding which led to her getting more stressed and anxious.

Everyone in court knew she was failing in her duties as Queen and mocked her, some noble women even gossiped about how the King needed a new queen, one who was fertile and could do her wifely duties and help the realm deliver a son.

After she had delivered her 4th stillborn child, the maester confirmed to the King and Queen that her womb was much too ruined after her deliveries that there was no chance of her being able to try for another babe, otherwise it would kill her surely.

After that she felt the stares of disappointment from her father and of the people at court whenever the Crown Princess presented her twin boys, Jacaerys and Baelon Strong in court when the boys were a year old and the King wanted a large celebration for his grandsons birthday.

Queen Alicent starred at the small swell in the Princess's belly, she was with child again, it had been announced when the twins were 6 months old. 

She had felt a stab of jealousy when she had heard the news of the princess delivering healthy twin boys and now, she was pregnant again. 

Years would pass and she endured seeing him openly flirt with noble women and take mistresses, and making a declaration that his seed was strong since his mistress or multiple of them became pregnant.

He flaunted his bastard children sure, but thanks to Daemon he never legitimized them, and betrothed them to other houses.

Alicent had to endure the mockery that was her marriage to the King, she was now just his wife, whom he never made do her marriage duties after her fourth child passed, and everyone knew it thanks to the gossiping staff and spies Daemon had around the castle.

Viserys flaunted his mistresses and made sure they were well taken cared for after each affair ended and they'd gave him a bastard or two.

He even went after her ladies-in-waiting who were her relatives, and she knew well that a few of them felt guilty, but he was their King, and they couldn't do anything about it, but after the gifts they turned a blind side in how she was suffering.

After they became pregnant, they were tossed aside and married off to any lord fine with having the King's discarded mistress whom she gave bastard children to.

None of her ladies-in-waiting were able to avoid his advances other than those that were already married.

It was only once after 2 decades of their marriage passed was when he stopped having mistresses, but that was because he had begun to feel weak.

By then Rhaenyra and her prince consort had had 10 children since almost her 5 previous pregnancies led to twins.

Jacaerys and Baelon were 

Lucerys and Aegon

Viserra and Aemond

Helae and Joffrey

Aemma and Daema

Jace Strong was married to his cousin Baela Targaryen, his great uncle's daughter with the Lady Laena Valeryon. Meaning once it was his time to take the throne he would have his cousin as his wife and Queen Consort. Baela was currently 6 months pregnant with their first child.

Baelon was his father's heir to Harrenhal whom was married to a Baratheon lady. He spent most of his time in the court at the Red Keep, and his wife was currently 2 months pregnant. 

Lucerys married Rhaena his cousin and twin sister of Baela, both liked each other's company and liked to either study or ride his dragon.

Aegon was still not married but they were sure he was to wed any person he wanted when his parents reassured that he was free to marry whomever he wanted. He however, had an eye for one of his bastard aunts that was a year younger than him. 

Viserra was betrothed to her cousin Laenus Targaryen, the firstborn son and heir to Driftmark of her great uncle Daemon Targaryen and Lady Laena Valeryon. She loved the water and being adrift in the ocean after her great uncle and aunt-in-law offered a betrothal to her and their son and Princess Rhaenys adored her and Luke.

Aemond was training to become a knight and join the Queensguard when he was old enough, but everyone noticed how he eyed his mother's youngest lady-in-waiting Hayli Strong, a cousin of his father's that had been legitimized after her parents were finally allowed to marry.

The younger 4 children were more focused in their studies since their parents wanted them to focus on still having a childhood and free from a betrothal.

Now her husband was dead because he had become sick and had passed quickly after he became bed ridden.

And now here she was, a Dowager Queen, with no children, just a stepdaughter and step grandchildren whom openly mocked her with no consequences since her power as queen was reduced after she commented on Rhaenyra's children's looks.

She glanced at Rhaenyra's slightly swollen belly, she was 3 months pregnant when they crowned her Queen and felt a stab of envy.

She never knew her children had been stolen and hidden away in the Vale being raised by thr late Good Queen Aemma's family, being raised as if they were bastard children.

Chapter Text

Only Daemon knew what truly happened to the Cuntower's spawn after she birthed them.

Well, him and many of his loyal spies and the other people that worked for him.

After Aemma died and he heard that Viserys was to marry that cunt of a hand's daughter, his mind was made up.

He would work hard to keep Rhaenyra as heir, even if he had to destroy and cause the Cuntower's womb to be ruined beyond repair.

All to keep and allow Rhaenyra the chance to become the first ruling Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.

First his spies were able to pull a few strings to make a few of Alicent's ladies-in-waiting be those that worked for him and his spies.

One of the ladies made sure to serve a tea to the Mistress Cuntower, the tea was to lower her fertility, it still allowed her to get pregnant of course, but the tea was served to her mistress during the majority of her first pregnancy that it wasn't a surprise her firstborn was weak.

Ares Stone was given to a one of late Queen Aemma's cousins, she was married to a lord, both of them and the majority that was the late Queen's relatives agreed to work with Daemon. He promised them to pay them a large sum for caring for the bastard child, to raise him as if he were her husband's bastard child.

The bastard child was weak as a child, but eventually became a bit healthier, however at 13 years old they disowned him when it came to light he was trying to assault one of the ladies that lived near them.

He was castrated and then disowned, Daemon had congratulated them in a letter and reassured that they were still going to send them money as long as they allow anyone to treat the boy anyway they deemed fit.

Ares Stone was 15 years old when his lord father forced him to work at a brothel, where he was used, abused, and treated the same way as any bastard of the Vale was treated except worse from what the people heard about him.

He died at 18 years old after a client had been left unsatisfied and attacked him to get back their money, his stomach was cut open from crotch to sternum. 

The Fake Queen's 2nd pregnancy resulted in a little girl.

Daemon was more surprised at the fact that the Cuntower went into labor 2 months early and found it hilarious from what his spies informed him.

She got worried over his niece finally marrying and eventually having her heirs.

The girl was born early because of the stress and the poisonous drink that the Fake Queen was drinking.

A midwife who actually worked in the Vale had been the one to take the newborn girl and lied to her her family that it was her babe after 2 months passed of her birth. 

She had been able to successfully lie to her family that she had been hiding her pregnancy while she cared for the The "Queen" since it was important for her to work there, which they bought.

Aria Stone was 14 years old and was learning to become a midwife and was betrothed to a cousin of hers whom was 10 years older than her whom already had an heir and a spare. 

The betrothal was set up after Daemon paid them a hefty sum to do what they wanted with the Fake Queen's Spawn.

The girl's "mother" did care for Aria, but acted cold to her to keep her in line.

Aria Stone was a well brought up girl, but she knew she was a bastard from the sneers and taunts throne at her, knew her mother didn't care for her that much.

She did fear about marriage, she was much too fragile and easily got sick, but she was already of marriageable age, and she was already a woman since her moon blood arrived when she was 12 years old.

Aria Stone died at 15 years old in childbed after she had given birth to twins, she had gotten too weak, and she was losing too much blood before they decided they had to take action and get the babe out.

Her stomach was cut open as well to take out the babes.

The 3rd and 4th child of the Fake Queen ended up not living that long after their birth, the poison that the Fake Queen kept drinking had slowly ruined had ruined her womb and left her body unable to fully function and carry the babes to full term.

The midwives that were paid to take the babes away had taken them home after the Fake Queen gave birth, but the babes weren't strong enough to keep fighting to survive as their system were full of the poison. 

The babes grew weaker and weaker before they finally died 2 week after their births.

The Rogue Prince had been satisfied when had gotten the letters, and even was delighted when rumors went about that the Hightower Queen was barren and that it was her fault that the king still didn't have legitimate children other than his firstborn daughter from his first wife. 

He didn't care that his brother had bastard children from women from brothels to those of noble ladies as long as it ruined the image of the Cunttower.

And as almost 2 decades passed and he was given a letter to tell him what happened to the firstborn bastard and firstborn girl he was overjoyed.

He now had information that would destroy the Dowager Queen.

A week after Queen Rhaenyra had her coronation news broke out that the Dowager Queen Alicent Hightower had thrown herself out a window and had been found impaled by sharp rocks.

The Seven Kingdoms didn't mourn for the Green Queen that much, she was a mockery of a queen what with how her duty to the realm was never completed and how even her late husband mocked her for being useless and barren by having multiple mistresses. 

The Targaryan line was strong thanks to Queen Rhaenyra and her King Consort Harwin Strong and Prince Daemon and his wife Lady Laena Valeryon.

Chapter Text

Dowager Queen Alicent Hightower strolled the Red Keep, a hand placed in her flat stomach as she thought of her past and how the past two decades amounted to nothing, how her marriage to the king was pointless since she did worse than Good Queen Aemma Arryn and had not delivered any healthy babe unlike her predecessor. She gave a weak smile as both her step grandsons, Jace and Baelon's wives passed by her with their ladies, her nails dug to the palm of her hand as she heard the mocking snickers and the beginning of mocking whispers as they passed her.

"False queen"

"Barren, she couldn't even compare to Good Queen Aemma, at least she had Queen Rhaenyra."

"No Hightower spawns from her at least that's a good thing."

"Barren."

"What a useless Queen. Her cunt useless that the king stopped doing his marital duties with her and got so many mistresses."

The group let out a loud laugh, Alicent's chest tightened and her stomach began to hurt, her eyes stinging as she listened to them mock her knowing that she couldn't do much since Queen Rhaenyra had stripped her of any rights of power she used to have when she was Queen Consort. The reason for it was punishment for when she had tried to stir up rumors how Rhaenyra's boys were bastards because of their hair when it was impossible for them to be bastards since Daemon spent most of his time with his wife and children, while the Crown princess and her husband couldn't keep their hands away from each other.

However, she was used to it, she had to endure the sneers and jeers thrown at her after it was revealed to the court that she was barren after her 4th pregnancy ruined her womb. She was almost 18 years old and for the next decade and a half she had to endure the sneers and taunts thrown at her when the court watched her husband flaunt his mistresses. His main one, The Royal Mistress, Lady Ariana Hightower, was the main stab in the heart, she was her cousin who originally was her lady-in-waiting who had been 15 years old when she arrived at court. Alicent had been 24 years old and this was 6 years after she was declared barren when her cousin came to court.

Her husband had taken an interest in her, which once she noticed it made ice form in her stomach as she realized another family member caught her husband's interest.

Only this time it was a cousin of hers that was the same age she was when she married him.

She was in his chambers, trying to make him see reason, she tried to stop her husband from trying to make her cousin his mistress, but all her pleading led to her being struck and yelled at.

Screamed at that she was no queen of his since she failed her duty and wasted his time with a 2nd marriage with her since him marrying her caused so much trouble for him among the Seven Kingdoms when he could've married another princess or noble lady that was from a lord. That she was a useless daughter of a 2nd son.

That he had a right as King to take anyone as his mistress.

And he very much did that as Ariana was made his mistress a month after she arrived, her father and her other relatives had stern words to give to her cousin, but she had scoffed and declared she was honored. That surely, she was the proper Hightower that would give him a child unlike the useless Hightower Queen he was stuck with.

The Hightower clan would've been angered and done more if it weren't for the fact that a month into becoming his mistress, Lady Ariana became with child so soon which she flaunted to her cousin, the Queen, whenever they were in the same room. She couldn't be punished since she was made The Royal Mistress by the King when he heard she was with child.

It still hurt what he had said when he learned that.

"It would seem at least Hightower knows how to do her duties."

Indeed, he had many other mistresses, but this was different. Ariana was a Hightower, and Viserys was beginning to believe all Hightower women were barren, mostly because her other cousins who became his mistress either took Moon Tea after each time they fucked or because from what they said he used a different hole. 

So, Lady Ariana Hightower became The Royal Mistress to King Viserys I Targaryan, and kept that title till Viserys became too ill to continue their affair. He left his Royal Mistress with 5 children, all who were adopted by the husband he chose for her a year after she became his mistress so that she wouldn't be "dishonored".

The man had been honored, sure he was being cucked by his own wife and King, but he already had an heir and a spare from his late wife, and it wasn't as if it were uncommon for the King to secure his past mistresses a proper marriage. 

He only did that with those that were of noble families unlike the women he left with child that were from brothels.

Lady Ariana was well respected by those at court, sure everyone knew she was the King's Royal Mistress, but she was a Hightower, and had given the king 5 children not even before a decade passed into the affair. She didn't flaunt the powers she had gained as his mistress, she used it wisely.

She befriended Rhaenyra, the two growing close and Alicent never was able to learn how they could get along.

She even gained favor with the nobles and was basically called the King's Mistress Consort behind closed doors as she helped Viserys with his ruling which Rhaenyra would thank her later.

Ariana had 3 boys and 2 girls, all of whom were the ages between 8-3 years old, the children were given a good enough education that their mother could persuade Viserys to let them have and thankfully their "father" happily agreed to pay.

That affair that lasted almost a decade and a half was the longest her husband kept a mistress, and it seemed both people benefited greatly from it.

Her cousin was also the only mistress that gave her husband more than just one bastard.

She was shown as a useless Hightower Queen by her husband by having a Hightower as a mistress who gave him 5 bastard children. While he benefited from Ariana helping rule a little better.

So yes, she was used to being mocked for failing her royal duties.

Even the mockery of her becoming a step-grandmother and almost a step-great grandmother without ever becoming a mother herself hurt once Rhaenyra became pregnant and had her children. She never got to experience motherhood, her failure as queen haunted her the moment that she was declared barren and her womb too ruined to continue trying for a child.

She stopped near a window, she rubbed a hand against her stomach, imagining how things would have worked out if she had been able to give her husband a child, an heir and spare.

Or at least a daughter to make a proper alliance marriage.

"Well, if it isn't little Alicent Hightower, The Barren Useless Hightower Queen," a mocking voice spoke and she almost flinched as she turned to see the Rogue Prince, Daemon.

The prince was staying in the Red Keep for a while before heading back to Driftmark to be with his wife and their small bundle of children.

Children that she vehemently believed he didn't deserve.

She hated that title, she hadn't been mocked so soon after the reveal to the court that she was barren, but eventually she began to hear the mocking nicknames the people gave her.

Barren Useless Hightower Queen was a favorite.

The Cuckolded Hightower Queen was another favorite.

There were many others.

She was despised for wasting King Viserys's time with a 2nd marriage to her when he could've married any other noble lady of a higher station unlike her who was a daughter of a 2nd son.

"Hello Daemon," she bit out politely and gave him a strained smile.

They stood there in silence, she glanced at the window and saw the ocean, the waves gently splashing against the rocks.

"Such a waste marrying you, wasn't it? He needed more children and married a whore Hightower whose womb was barren and unfit to carry a child. He could've married any respectable noble woman who would've given him many children," he said nonchalantly with a smirk, and she quickly turned her head to glare at him.

"How dare-"

"You know it's true, he could've married any of those noble ladies whom he took as mistresses and gave him a bastard child. Surely Ariana would've made a better queen with how she was able to pull strings and influence him better than his own boring wife," he sneered at her before smirking.

She raised a hand to slap him. for the disrespect he was givig her.

For being a wonderful husband to Lady Laena and a wonderful father to his children.

Something that he never deserved.

"How dare you say that I did my best to do my duty," she weakly hissed out as she stared at his eyes.

"Ah yes duty, something that dear Queen Rhaenyra had been able to accomplish with her 10 children and one more child in the way."

She hissed out weakly a retort that she knew her stepdaughter was a harlot.

"She was a maiden when she went into her marriage bed, unlike a Hightower that's in front of me. Perhaps that's why your womb was useless, your Gods were punishing you for sleeping with Viserys before his mourning period was finished," he taunted knowing her faith to her Gods would strike something if he blamed them for her infertility.

He knew Alicent believed Nyra wasn't a maiden when she married Harwin, but Harwin presented the bed sheets the day after they consummated the marriage and Nyra had bragged about being able to take her husband's cock as a maiden to her ladies in waiting in her chambers.

"I was a maiden! I did my prayers. I did my marital duties and took care of myself to be able to give my husband children," she said with her voice shaky as she felt her eyes sting.

"But did you really take care of yourself?" he asked with a smirk.

She pulled her hand away from his hold and let out a weak strained smile, "yes I very much did take care of myself-"

"Yet it was so easy to do it all," he said interrupting her and she glanced back at him and furrows her brows.

"What?"

"You made an enemy of so many people, from the nobles that believed their daughters were of higher status. Which mind you, they were better than that of a daughter of a second son, so they deserved to be given a chance to wed Viserys, to all the servants who took care of Good Queen Aemma and witnessed you seduce their mourning king and become his whore whom he had to marry to rescue face even if his mourning period was yet over."

"I don't understand what you are saying," she whispers softly as she rubbed a hand on her stomach as she stared at his eyes.

He gave her a feral smile.

"So many people despised you, it was so easy to hire people to be a midwife and a maester too for your births. Even your ladies-in-waiting despised you if they were willing to poison your womb," he said nonchalantly.

She felt herself freeze, she was poisoned?

Her womb was poisoned.

Was that why she couldn't accomplish her duty as queen and wife to the king?

"That tea you drank every day from the moment you announced your 1st pregnancy was what slowly ruined and poisoned your womb. You didn't drink it that much during your first pregnancy, but you were so desperate for your pregnancy to go well and paranoid about your own stepdaughter you upped the amount you drank, then again I just paid them to serve you the tea whenever you asked for it. By the 4th pregnancy the poison had ruined your fertility and sure you can blame the stress and the heartbreak you felt when witnessing Viserys fucking a lady in his chambers, but really all that is from me."

Her breathing became shaky and she had tears streaming down her cheeks.

He had ruined her chances to do her duty.

He ruined her womb and ruined her chance to prove her worth as Queen.

"You want to know something else? Your babes weren't stillborn, they were weak, but they indeed were alive when they were born. I even paid any of the midwife that would sneak the babe away to raise them in secret."

Her mind froze as she heard that and she turned to look at him with wide eyes.

"My babies are alive? Where are they you bastard?!" she shrieked as she got closer to him and pulled him by the collar to lower him so he can see her bloodshot eyes.

She would tear anything, even torture Daemon to get the information she needed to know where her children were at.

"I never said they're alive," he said calmly.

She froze and she felt her heart stop beating and she pulled away covering her mouth and stomach as she could faintly remember the movements of her lost babes in her poisoned womb.

"Your firstborn son was raised as a bastard in the Vale, actually both your firstborn son and firstborn daughter were raised in the Vale as bastards by different families. Your boy was a bastard and well he became a whore who worked at a brothel when he died. Your cunt of a daughter died in childbirth. The same way Queen Aemma passed actually, her babes much too big to come out of the womb with no help. Worthless since the twins died less than a month later," he said nonchalantly, the last part a lie. Aria's husband cared for the children, sure he never loved his bastard wife but the twins resembled him more that he loved them than he did their mother.

Alicent began to sob and was about to try to hit him again when she was grabbed and pulled to his chest harshly as he hissed near her ear.

"And those two last boys you had? Worthless to take them away from since they didn't live long past 2 weeks, such weak children you had. No surprise since their mother was a worthless Queen who would've tried to harm the rightful heir."

Alicent was sobbing against his chest, her heart, soul, and mind hurting from the news that she could've been a mother if it hadn't been for Daemon, but she knew it was because she had betrayed Rhaenyra and became Queen. She had gone above her station and reached for too much power.

She didn't feel when she was picked up, she did however notice when she was placed on the window ledge and she quickly began to protest before shrieking as she was pushed out the window.

Dowager Queen Alicent Hightower was found by a knight 20 minutes later dead pierced by the sharp rocks.

No one would learn that she had just learned the horrible truth about her pregnancies and what had happened to her 4 children.

Prince Daemon Targaryan made sure to keep everything top secret.

Chapter Text

Viserys was at the age where he should already be betrothed and or married and bringing heirs or many children to the Targaryan line. His grandmother was the one to inform him of who would be his bride. The person she chose for him to wed was a shock to him and Daemon.

"Alicent... Alicent Hightower? Grandmother she is just a child-"

She is Otto Hightower's daughter surely you should honor your friend by marrying his daughter. He's the Hand of the King, marrying his daughter would be an honor, either way, you're a man. Men's seed are still strong for many years while women's fertility can only lase for a few decades," their grandmother said and then informed Daemon that he was betrothed to Rhea Royce.

His little brother glanced at him, the 12-year-old bit back his anger since he knew that his bride was from the Vale, at least she was a year younger than him.

They waited a few years for Alicent to get a bit older, but her moon blood came about when she was 11 years old and that was when The King approved of the wedding between her and the 21-year-old Prince Viserys to occur. A year after Prince Daemon and Lady Rhea Royce were wed actually. 

They had done their duty and fallen pregnant quickly. Twin babes born 10 months after the wedding. A boy with her curls and hair color named Rhaenor and a girl that resembled her father named Visena who were 2 months old at the time the wedding took place.

Daemon preferred to know he did his duty for the Crown and the Vale by having children when he was certain that surely his brother would have to wait long for his bride to grow older to get pregnant. He had done his duty more and gotten his wife pregnant again soon a month after the twins were born. Not out of duty, but because he had confessed to his wife that he found her utterly beautiful as she was full of his child.

So there everyone who attended the wedding ceremony watched as 11-year-old Alicent Hightower, the only daughter to Otto Hightower, marrying the 21-year-old Prince Viserys Hightower. 

There was plenty dancing and drinking before everyone watched the married couple leave the ballroom and head to what they believed to be their separate bed chambers.

Until those that were walking along the halls that held the bedroom for the married couple heard the pained cries and screams. 

They didn't do anything when they knew it was the married couple consummating the marriage.

The next morning everyone gave Viserys a strained smile when he presented the bedsheets that were from their marital bed, the clear dry bloodstain smearing a small area of the sheet. His now wife, Princess Consort Alicent Hightower standing beside him with a week smile, her eyes red from what they could guess was from the crying.

No one said anything, how could they, he was the prince, and he had a royal line to continue, just like his brother was doing.

No on noticed the strained smile Otto Hightower gave his friend before giving him a hug to congratulate his friend.

Anyone would've believed Otto may have looked happy, how could he not? His daughter was now the future Queen Consort of the Seven Kingdoms and future mother of the heir she would have with her husband, making him the father of the future Queen and grandfather of the future King.

But he was secretly horrified and now regretting accepting the betrothal for his young daughter and his friend.

For the next few weeks servants would cower when they heard the pained cries of the Princess Consort coming from her chambers as her husband made them do their marital duties, there were few servants that would be gentle and kind to the Princess Consort as they bathed her, she would be sitting in the tub sobbing.

However, one got tired of her sobbing after weeks of enduring it.

"Shut it, you're a royal now. You are the Princess Consort and need to do your duties. Once that belly fills with a babe he will leave you alone. Do not be such a weak girl. You're not a lady anymore, you're the future Queen Consort," they hissed to her and many of the servants froze before relaxing as they saw the Princess Consort hiccup and nod as she realized she had a duty to accomplish now.

A month after the wedding it was found out that Princess Consort Alicent Hightower was pregnant, shocking everyone.

Only a few were worried for the young mother to be.

It was an open secret that the nobles in the court at the Red Keep were disturbed whenever they saw the Princess Consort walk around the castle, her small frame and then the round belly she had as she was carrying the heir her husband needed making them worry for her health. However, that worry would go away when they remembered she was a woman grown when getting married and she had to be doing her royal duties.

She had many ladies-in-waiting attending her, especially the 16-year-old cousin of her husband and good brother, Aemma Arryn. She was a Targaryan from her mother's side, she was faithful to her mistress. She helped the young mother to be to walk her to where she went and attended to her when she got much too tired.

The Princess Consort was 8 months along when her water broke.

It was a nightmare for the young princess and the maesters and midwives who attended to her would be disturbed for how things went.

Later on, they would regret not forcing the young Alicent to take Moon Tea after her first pregnancy.

She labored for almost 3 days, her hips much too small and not wide enough to let the babe come out of her womb.

She was losing too much blood so one of the midwives were forced to slide their hands inside her and pull out the babe, everyone outside the birthing chambers could hear the pained shrieks of the princess consort and her screams for them to stop. They could hear her pained begging for the child to come out.

She sobbed in relief as she heard it was a boy, he had a full set of hair, sadly her babe had her curls and reddish-brown hair.

Viserys visited his wife and had congratulated her before embracing his firstborn son.

Alicent gave her husband a pained smile before glancing at the door of the birthing chamber and saw her father who gave her a strained smile.

"Your grace, may we speak with you?" a maester walked up to her husband who handed his newborn son to his very tired wife.

He nodded and walked away.

"You did good, sweet daughter of mine," her father said, and she gave him a strained smile as her newborn son wailed in her arms. 

He gave her a strained smile back, knowing her duty wasn't done yet.

Strained cries and pained whimpers were the only sounds coming from the princess's consorts bed chambers as her husband forced her to perform her marital duties 2 months after their firstborn was born, her husband's hips slamming into her. His panting and moaning being the noises she most despised and she just hoped she got with child again so that he wouldn't touch her.

He groaned before covering her mouth with his hand and began to thrust into her more harshly and quickly.

Once he was done, he walked out of her chambers and left her there sobbing as she curled up into a ball. 

She begged The Seven that she got with child quickly as before.

A week later the court were informed that the 12-year-old Princess Consort was with child again, many nobles glanced at each other shocked at what they heard.

However, when she was 5 months pregnant, the court was informed that Prince Viserys was made heir to the Iron Throne, not his cousin Rhaenys. The auburn-haired princess gave her husband a strained smile as he had smiled at her and rubbed her swollen stomach. She glanced back at her good brother and good sister, they looked straight ahead to their king, whom was her good grandfather. 

The 16-year-old Lady of Runestone and her 17-year-old husband Lord Consort of Runestone stood there with their 3 children, the twins 1 and a half year old Rheanor and Visena, and the 4-month-old Daenor, their secondborn son. 

She looked away quickly and politely clapped as her husband was declared heir and she knew that her duty to the kingdom was to now have spares for the kingdom.

A week later, however, she woke up to pain in her stomach and blood dripping down her thighs as she began scream for help and her bedchambers were filled with maesters and midwives. She sobs as her her ladies did their best to calm down and she was forced to swallow a tea which eased the pain and after a bit her stomach and womb stopped hurting.

She was so close to losing her babe from what she was told, her body much too weak and still in need to heal from Aegon's birth that it had started to reject her 2nd pregnancy.

Otto slammed his fist into the wall when he was informed on what his daughter almost suffered, but he was angrier when he had heard from the maester that had originally spoke with Viserys.

His daughter's womb was harmed after Aegon's birth and she had needed months to heal, but his selfish friend had ignored the maester and went ahead and got Alicent pregnant again so soon.

3 months after the incident Aemond Targaryan was born a month early as well. The babe was much too quiet that it had scared several of the midwives before they heard his piercing cry which surprised them with how small he was, his birth was a little bit easier in the 12-year-old, only lasting a day of labor and only needing a bit of encouragement to be able to push.

However, the young mother could not walk for almost a month after his birth, her hips almost tore from their sockets as they performed the action, they did for Aegon occured again.

Her husband praised her for giving him an heir but informed her that they soon needed to try for a girl so that their sons had to have sisters or closer relatives to wed.

All Alicent could do was shakily agree in silence.

The kingdom watched as the young Princess Consort became Queen Consort with King Viserys, and they watched as her health declined rapidly as her husband kept impregnating her so soon after each stillbirth or miscarriage, a decade into the marriage and she had only 3 successful pregnancies. 

The only children they currently have were Aegon, Aemond, and Helaena. Both the boys were 9 and 8 while Helaena was 4 years old.

Their uncle Daemon and aunt Rhea had plenty of children, their 10-year-old firstborn twins, 9-year-old Daenor, and then 4 more children.

Aegon and Aemond never knew their mother that well other than knowing she was always ill because of the constant pregnancies. They both snuck into her chambers to share their days with her.

Queen Consort Alicent Hightower was 24 years old when she finally passed after catching an illness after her last miscarriage.

She left behind her 12-year-old Aegon, 11-year-old Aemond, and 7-year-old Helaena.

Chapter Text

Aemma was betrothed to and married one of the Lannister brothers when she was 17 years old then married a week after she turned 18 years old, and had their first child, the heir the Lannisters needed, a boy named Darious Lannister, before 2 years later they had a little girl who had Aemma's looks named Rhaenyra who was betrothed to one of the sons of the Lady of Runestone and her Lord husband Prince Daemon's. 

Daemon and Rhea had a total of 7 children, 3 girls and 4 boys.

13 year old Rhaenor and Visena the only twins, 12 year old Daenor who was a 11 months younger than the twins,  10 year old Allyson who was 2 years younger than Daenor then the triplets, Rhaena, Vistoris, and Baelon who were 8 years old when Queen Consort Alicent passed away.

The youngest son of theirs, Baelon was a year younger than her so both sets of parents were not worried about any sort of age gap.

They didn't want what happened to Alicent happen to their children.

Both sets of parents declined to betroth any of their children to Viserys's sons. Daemon had to inform his brother that he would gladly betroth Helaena to Vistoris since the two were close to the same age.

Viserys would've declined and betrothed Aegon and Helaena together if it hadn't been a Baratheon Lord who offered one of his daughters, a 14 year old teen named Alliah. He was offered a ton of gold and a bit of the Baratheon army to which made him gladly agree to the betrothal.

Otto bit back his anger as not even a year passed after his daughter passed when the council began to prod Viserys to remarry stating that just 3 children are not enough to keep the Targaryan line going.

Otto just hoped the 2nd wife they choose for his old Friend was an appropriate age.

Viserys was 34 years old when his wife passed and 36 years old when he remarried a Baratheon lady who was 19 years old. Aegon was 14 years old when he witnessed his father remarry.

Many in the kingdom were still uncomfortable with the age of his new bride, but considered it better than Good Queen Alicent's age when she married.

Thankfully, Jane Baratheon gave birth to twins soon after the marriage around the same time Viserys got into an accident that left him unable to move his legs no more, preventing him from trying to order his new wife to perform her marital duties after she gave birth to twin boys.

Aegon married his betroth when he was 17 and Alliah was 19 years old, they had been exchanging letters to talk and get to know each other well, both shared their anxieties to the marriage which Aegon reassured her he would not pressure her into anything. Everyone at court could see they truly loved each other, and that it was Alliah whom searched for her husband and wanted the intimacy. Their trueborn first child was born 11 months after the wedding and many would follow every 2 years or so.

Aegon became King when King Viserys passed when he was 50 years old, leaving behind his heir, the 28 year old Aegon Targaryan as the new King of the Seven Kingdoms and his 30 year old Queen Consort Alliah Baratheon whom had given him 5 children and was currently pregnant with their 6th child.

Dowager Queen Jane Baratheon, whom was 35 years old mostly focused on helping her step grandchildren with their education as well as her twin sons.

The Targaryan line stayed strong thanks to the descendants of Queen Alicent Hightower's children wedding people of proper age and being gentle or not pressured to having children, same with the descendants of Prince Daemon and his lady wife Rhea, and the descendants of Aemma Arryn.

Chapter Text

Daemon happily agrees to a betrothal to his cousin Aemma Arryn since they were similar in age, him being 12 years old and her 11 years old while his grandmother betrothed his 16 year old brother to Alicent Hightower, the 6 year old daughter of Otto Hightower in the promise that it would honor the Hightowers for being the Hand of the King, he just hoped his brother waited till the young daughter was the proper age to bed her.

They'd both be horrified as they were 17 and 16 years old witnessing the marriage of the 11-year-old Alicent to the 21-year-old Viserys just because her moon blood came a week after her 11th birthday.

Daemon and Aemma were wed a month after Aemma turned 16 years old, but Daemon was waiting till she was a bit older to fully consumate the marriage.

The were a bit glad that Viserys was willing to wait for his bride to age a little more from what they were told.

The Rogue Prince and his wife were 18 and 19 when they brought to the world their firstborn daughter Rhaenyra Targaryan, who was the image of her mother with her father's attitude as they noticed she would be a hot head as her father and just as fiercely overprotective of her family.

When they were 19 and 20 years old when they learned that they were with child again when they got the news that Viserys finally consummated his marriage with the 14-year-old Alicent Hightower, they were a bit put off with it since it was known Alicent's mother passed after she gave birth to Alicent's younger brother.

They, however, knew that since Visery's was a prince and closer to the throne due to the succession that eventually he was going to have to worry about the need for more Targaryen children for the Targaryan line.

When Aemma was 6 months pregnant it was revealed to the court that Lady Alicent Hightower was with child after months of the married couple finally consummated the marriage. However, when a month passed after Aemma delivered her and Daemon's second child, their firstborn son named Baelon it was announced that the Lady Alicent suffered a miscarriage, but it came to light that this was her 2nd miscarriage as she had suffered a miscarriage when she was 2 months along.

They visited the Red Keep when Baelon was 6 months old, and Rhaenyra was almost 2 years old. 

Once they were there they noticed that Alicent's stomach had a small bulge that was noticeable, it was then when they learned that The King had announced that Prince Viserys was to be his heir, not Princess Rhaenys.

This now made Lady Alicent become Princess Consort to her husband Crown Prince Viserys and everyone knew now it was important for her to give her husband a son for an heir.

5 months later the Princess Consort Alicent Hightower gave birth to a weak babe who was born a month too early, the poor princess consort having labored for almost 3 days, Viserys and Alicent's firstborn son was named Aemond Targryan, the firstborn son to Crown Prince Viserys Targaryan. Both Daemon and Aemma were there for Alicent for comfort as she was ignored for the young babe whom everyone at court whispered and prayed on to live so that there was an heir to the Iron Throne after Viserys. No one paid any mind to the young mother.

After 3 months passed and Aemond showed signs of getting stronger that was when he was announced to being the heir to Crown Prince Viserys Targaryan.

Viserys was happy, but he still pushed for more children telling his young wife that they had a duty to produce many royal children, ignoring that his brother and good sister were with 2 children and one currently in Aemma's belly.

A decade later the 31 year old and 32 year old Prince Daemon Targaryen and Lady Aemma Arryn watched as a weeping Crown Prince Aemond Targaryen ordered his dragon to burn the body of his dead baby sister and his mother Good Queen Alicent Hightower, the 10 year old prince gripped his aunt's hand as she gently squeezed his hand to bring him comfort.

He was the only surviving child of Queen Alicent Hightower.

Queen Alicent passed after she birthed her child, a baby girl that would've been his sister bride when she was of age if the little girl had survived.

It was well known the Queen had suffered from stillbirths and miscarriages after she had birthed Aemond, no pregnancy after him went well and no one could tell why other than the Maesters saying she had been bedded much too young and since Aemond had been born too early and how long she labored her womb was harmed and too weak to be able to carry more children.

Not even a year after the Queen's death, King Viserys married a Lannister lady whom sadly would be hated by the kingdom and many rumors would go that she was his mistress before the Queen died.

So it was no surprise when no one supported the Lannister Queen and her father when they tried to take the throne from the 30 year old Crown Prince Aemond after the king died of an illness and the Prince was residing in Dragonstone with his wife, Rhaenyra Targaryen whom was his cousin and 2 years older than him and had been pregnant with their 5th child at the time.

Prince Daemon was able to help fight the throne for his nephew and he and his wife witnessed his daughter become Queen Consort with King Aemond I, their reign being long and successful. 

Chapter Text

Just Rhaenyra declaring that she would gladly give up being heir if Alicent gave Viserys the same amount of children her mother lost in the womb, after Aegon's 2nd birthday of course so makes a deal that she'd give up being heir if Alicent had more children. 

So of course now Alicent has to endure more pregnancies and after her 6th pregnancy results in another healthy child, Rhaenyra happily lets Aegon be declared heir and she, Laenor and Harwin happily leave the Red Keep and grow a happy big family

idk just a concept

Chapter Text

Baelon was born after a grueling day of labor after Rhaenyra and her children made the trip to where Laena and Daemon resided in with the twins, Harwin close behind them and both of them comforted Daemon as he paced around the room that his wife was giving birth in. Eventually Rhaenyra had asked if she could try and help Laena by picking her up and soon as she stood Baelon slid out of her womb with no problem, the Maester catching the babe quickly and the room was filled by the strong cries of their firstborn son.

Daemon was entrance by his newborn son that he laid beside Laena as she rested and cared for the newborn.

That's when it became clear in his mind, he was tired of wating for Viserys to acknowledge him and he knew that eventually that those Hightower Targaryen bastards were going to do something to prevent his wife from becoming the Queen she deserved.

That's when he voiced his thoughts, that the land where he had been at war alongside Corlys and Laenor was still free for the taking and there was more land around it to make their own kingdom, that he and Laena shall reign as King and Queen, that Rhaenyra, could rule alongside them as a consort alongside Harwin.

There was some talking to which they agreed that Daemon and Laena would of course rule alongside each other as King and Queen, Rhaenyra would be The Hand of the King and Harwin was comfortable as a guard but he would be his wife and the other two's protector.

Months after Baelon was born was when Viserys and the rest of the Kingdom learned of the new Kingdom made from the deserted battlefield Daemon and the others got victory in.

Daemon Targaryen was now Emperor of the Stepstones and the Narrow Sea alongside his wife Laena Valeryon, Empress of the Stepstones and the Narrow Sea

Their heir was Baela Targaryen and her betrothed was Jacaerys Strong who had been his mother's heir to the Iron Throne.

Rhaenrya Targaryen was made The Hand of the Emperor after it was revealed that she and her husband married both Daemon and Laena. Harwin was made their knight and protected the other three.

Centuries later historians would declare that the Stepstones Kingdom was better ruled than that of King Viserys and his descendants that came from his firstborn son Aegon II whom didn't rule any longer than 3 years only to die and then his younger brother ruled after him and married his sister Helaena, making her Queen twice over.

Helaena's twins ruled after their mother and step father passed, but there was so many problems that the Targaryen royal in Seven Kingdoms dwindled while the Targaryan-Valeryon in thrived in the Stepstones Kingdom decades after Daemon made a kingdom for his wife and his niece to rule with him.

However evidence acknowledges that Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen was more of the ruler from notes that were found that showed both Princess Rhaenyra and Empress Laena were the ones to rule the kingdom while their husband Emperor Daemon was more of a rule enforcer.

Chapter Text

Otto had been positive that Alicent would've been healthy and young enough to be able to give King Viserys an heir and many other children, but she was now 18 years old and still no child comes from her womb, sure she had gotten quick with child after the wedding, but that pregnancy did not last.

It was as if she was cursed to not be able to carry a babe.

But, now it was too late since was now deemed barren.

She had gotten pregnant so soon after the wedding which was no surprise since she was 15 years old. She was young and fertile, but she lost the babe 2 months into the pregnancy after she had fallen down the stairs since they were so narrow and her shoes far too slippery for her. She had ended up at the bottom of the stairs and noticed the feeling of blood running down her thighs.

She had sobbed for days and screamed in anguish, she had been so careful and all because of some stupid shoes is how she lost her babe.

Her 2nd pregnancy came when she and Viserys were already married for almost 3 years. She was 5 months along when her husband decided to host a hunt, to which most of the court and Princess Rhaenyra attend.

Everything was going so well, she was being attended by her ladies as her stomach was upsetting her when everyone gasped and became quiet in the large camp.

Alicent became confused before looking up and gasped seeing Rhaenyra walking back to the camp with blood smeared on her skin and clothes, a corpse of an animal being carried behind her by her horse. She moved closer to be able to see Rhaenyra better before a commotion began and her father shouted her name and she blinked as she was startled before she gasps seeing a horse was panicking and since their distance was close had been able to kick her in the stomach.

Hard enough that she was tossed into a table.

The hunt ended horribly as Queen Alicent Hightower lost her 2nd child.

It was a little girl that had broken bones thanks to the horse that hit her by accident.

She had sobbed for a week as she was bedridden because her body ached from being kicked and thrown into the wooden table.

She knew her father was angry that she still had not delivered a child, but she was just having accidents that no one could blame her for.

10 months later she watched as Crown Princess Rhaenyra marry Ser Harwin Strong after a short courting which Viserys was happy with, both Rhaenyra and Daemon realized that their feelings were not strong and prefered to be with other people.

Her hand was on the small swell of her stomach as she rubbed it due to anxiety knowing that soon Rhaenyra would have children, making her a step grandmother before she even had a chance to become a mother. She was 2 months along and she hoped this babe would see the warmth of the world unlike its two siblings, she just hoped it was a boy, she needed a boy to secure her position as Queen since she knew her husband was beginning to tire of her.

There were whispers amongst the court that he was eyeing the noble women.

She made the mistake of deciding to join a dance, she had just wanted to relax and it was her brother, her sweet brother Gwayne whom asked her to dance with him.

But a fight broke out against Ser Criston Cole and Prince Daemon because of Cole's jealousy and hatred for the Rogue Prince boiled over and soon the dance floor was full of people fighting, the bride safely taken to safety by her husband while Alicent and her brother struggled to find a way out.

Then it happened.

She was harshly knocked into the ground, the guests forgetting the Queen was there so they weren't as careful. Gwayne lost sight of her and as she tried to get off the floor that's when it happened.

A foot connected into her stomach and pressed down harshly and she screamed in pain as eventually multiple people stepped over her.

It only happened for a minute, and soon guards were able to get her and bring her back to the main table, but the damage was done, she felt blood dripping down her thighs hours after the wedding celebrations ended. Her bedsheets were covered in her blood and the tiny body of her babe.

The news was given a week after the Princess and her Prince Consort's wedding, but the court knew already thanks to the gossip of the staff.

Alicent was then given the news at 18 years old, that her womb was too damaged due to all the accidents that she was deemed barren.

The maester gave the news to her with her being in the same room, his hand gently squeezing her hand as if to give her comfort. Her husband just nodded and gave her a weak smile and comforted her, but didn't speak, he's had much more experience than her when it came to lost babes.

She truly thought she would do better than Good Queen Aemma.

However, she was worse, no babe reached nine moons in her womb, they didn't even at least the 7 months. She was experiencing what her predecessor dud, but at least Good Queen Aemma delivered a few of the babes even though only one survived. 

So it was no surprise that his kindness did not last long, gone was his patience for her to do her duty, gone was the man whom persuaded her to try again soon after each loss.

That was when she learned that the rumors were true of him having been eyeing the noble ladies of the court as he began to flaunt his mistresses around in court a week after it was declared to the court that their queen was barren.

Daily would the court see that their King had another woman in his arm, he had multiple knowledge mistresses, and some that were rumored.

It did not come to a surprise to the court that he soon presented his first illegitimate son whom was born 4 months after the declaration that the Queen was barren, the bastard of course was was given the common bastard surname but was indeed given a Targaryen like name.

It would seem that he had a secret mistress hidden away before his wife was deemed barren.

With this it proved to the court that it was his wife whom was the problem and not him for why no children came from their marriage. 

Many mistresses came and left, most after giving their King an illegitimate child before being married off to someone in the court.

Once she was 24 years old her husband took a mistress that made her heart ache from betrayal.

Her husband took her young cousin, the 15 year old Lady Ariana Hightower whom was her lady in waiting and made her his mistress. However, unlike the previous mistresses he kept their affair going, yes he married her off to a lord whom already had an heir and spare, but he kept her around for a decade and a half and giving Ariana much power in the court.

Eventually she was declared his Official Royal Mistress as she became the main mistress he would seek out. 

Surprisingly she was friends with the Princess Rhaenyra, only after the girl promised Nyra that with her influence that Alicent and the other Hightowers would go down before she ascended the throne and Nyra also began to make it known to the court that Lady Ariana was a good person to ask for advice as it became known she had more influence to the King than his Hand.

That's when people began to mock Otto Hightower. That it must have been needed for a Hightower with a cunt to be able to make the King rule much better than before since indeed the Realm began to improve once he took his mistress's advice.

So it wasn't a surprise to the court that the woman gave him 5 bastards, nor was it surprising that he declared that his illegitimate children with Lady Ariana would have better marriage prospects than the other children he had with the noble ladies. He did betroth those bastards with heirs or daughters of other lords and sure the lords were internally angry and such, but they believed that least surely any child from the bastards were to have a place in the succession.

She was mocked openly and in secret even among her ladies in waiting, everything was loud, everything was wrong. She had failed her duties and was cuckolded by her husband whom now had many bastards.

It was no surprise to anyone that the 39 year old Queen Alicent The Useless Queen Hightower was found outside of her chambers in the sand, for she had jumped to end her life. She had been impaled by a broken wooden fence and people watched as the Queen choked on her own blood.

King Viserys did not mourn his second wife as was expected by everyone as he lost his love for her long ago and married his 30 year old Royal Mistress Lady Ariana Hightower who became a widow 2 years ago who accepted the condition that their children were not to be legitimized since they of course were born out of wedlock. Their marriage was that of comfort and friendship.

The Hightowers indeed were angry, but they didn't have much to worry about since soon enough they were wiped out after Ariana's 14 year old son Aeros commanded his dragon in secret to burn down Oldtown and anyone that suppoerted the Hightowers, it was easy for no one to find anyone at fault since it was not public knowledge that some of the bastards were allowed to have dragon eggs since Nyra and Daemon knew that more dragons were better than just leaving the eggs there wit no one to claim them.

Rhaenyra became Queen months after her father married Ariana and eventually died of illness.

The Queen made sure her bastard siblings had at least a few privileges which they were grateful for.

Chapter Text

The reason why Rhaenys's son was not made heir was that he had presented as an omega before the Great Council occurred. Both Rhaenys and Corlys at least hoped that Laena was at least an alpha for she could've been perhaps made heir or if she was an alpha at least a child of hers would have a chance of being heir to the throne or in the line of succession. 

Sadly the decision of who would be the next ruler of the Seven Kingdoms fell to her cousin Viserys whom only had one daughter so far with his wife Aemma, and she had yet to present and Aemma had yet to give birth to a son.

However, Viserys would not be getting his long awaited heir with his beloved Aemma as she soon died in the childbed when Rhaenyra was 14 years old after complications occurred in the delivery. 

Not even half a year of his mourning period occurred when Viserys announced that he was to remarry which she understood since he had to have an heir, and more children to regrow the Targaryen line and make sure their line continued. Except, she believed theat it was so soon since he still had yet to have a proper mourning period. It shocked her when she heard from Corlys whom he was to remarry because she couldn't believe who it was, the problem was that it wasn't any kind of noble lady of the court that would bring things to the crown, but he was to marry his daughter's omega lady in waiting Alicent Hightower. 

The daughter of a second son from a small House that were only loyal to the Seven.

She could understand why when she met with Rhaenyra she was angry at her father. He stole her friend who dressed and attended and now the same girl was going to have a higher role than her and she noticed many of their omega friends and her ladies were trying to get in Alicent's favor just because she was to become Queen Consort.

However the wedding was postponed as it was soon revealed to the court as Rhaenyra had presented as an alpha during a council meeting and both Corlys and Rhaenys were so happy when Rhaenyra proposed a betrothal between her and Laenor and that their wedding would happen first before the Lady Alicent and King Viserys's wedding to which her father had agreed upon.

The only problem they never told Rhaenyra was that Laenor preferred male alphas, not female ones.

However, Rhaenyra was aware of this and she had been able to write to her uncle, who was at the moment back in the Vale attending the funeral of his wife whom died of drowning in the water after she had gone for a swim and something attacked her, to come back to court to attend her upcoming wedding and to have a talk with him. He of course, arrived weeks before the wedding.

She then made a proposal that he was to bed Laenor, explaining that she did not want to force their cousin to bed with her to make heirs since she was not what he preferred, that if Daemon helped than it was his child that would be heir to the throne, but he had to understand he could not claim said child.

Daemon, of course, was shocked at the proposal and more so when he learned that Laenor even agreed to the arrangement, but he couldn't let an opportunity come to pass, this was the closest he could get to having his blood in the throne and the more closer he could get to be with his niece.

So he agreed and promised he would help them have many children to which both would flush and agree. Corlys needed an heir to Driftmark and both knew it was important to extend the Targaryen line.

The bedding ceremony was left with only Ser Joffrey and Prince Daemon to watch over to prove the marriage was consumated.

Joffrey understood that his beloved Omega needed to have legitimate Targaryen children, it was now his duty as Prince Consort and future King Consort to give Rhaenyra and heir and his father an heir to Driftmark.

A month later Daemon stayed for the wedding of his brother to the Lady Alicent Hightower. He glanced back at Laenor and Rhaenyra, a week ago the Maester had declared that Laenor was with child and based by a few things the babe was conceived a week after they wed. However, Daemon was positive he had gotten Laenor with child the exact night of the wedding.

A 2 months later Daemon married Laena, and the same proposal was made with Rhaenyra after Laena told Daemon she preferred female Alphas and both pairs agreed to keep secret of the arrangement. They too got the news that Laena was with child a few weeks after the wedding

Nine months after the wedding Laenor gave birth to twin girls in the steps of the Iron Throne as he had ignored the Maesters and Nyra's insistence that he had to be placed in in the birthing chambers to rest during the last month of his pregnancy, he had declared that he was fine and continued with his business walking around and such before visiting his wife and Goodfather.

The screams coming from the Throne Room got everyone of the Court's attention as they heard from the whispers that the Prince Consort had began his labors in the Throne Room and after almost 5 hours of laboring everyone heard the cries of twins, and that's when the whispers began that Rhaenyra truly was destined to be the first Queen Alpha of the Seven Kingdoms and her firstborn daughter with her Consort was her destined heir.

Beala and Rhaena Valeryon were born in the steps of the Iron Throne and on a stormy day that stopped once Rhaena took her first breath and cry, the rain went away and the sun came out. This would show Vaemond that his nephew's daughter was perhaps the rightful heir to Driftmark.

Good news came to the court 3 months after the Crown Princess and Prince Consort's twins were born that Lady Laena Valeryon gave birth to twin boys, Jacaerys and Lucerys Targaryen, however there were a few whispers that her sons didn't look quite like Daemon and looked more a bit like the Crown Princess thanks to a few of the midwives somewhat gossiping about it until the King had roared that what they were speaking about was treason and that since she and the Princess were cousins and she wed Rhaenyra's uncle then the children were just getting the features of their other family members. The twins had their grandmother's hair color and their father's mother's eyes whom wept when he saw them in the privacy of their bedroom.

Rhaenyra did send a letter to apologize for the whispers, but Laena didn't mind them. She could make the excuse that they had more of the Targaryen looks.

Once Nyra and Laenor's twins were 6 months along they went ahead and visited Daemona and Laena to see their 3 month old twin boys.

They spent a week there before heading back to the Red Keep, 2 weeks later both pairs received the news that they were with child again.

The Queen Consort's firstborn was born a year after Laenor's twins, something her father would be angry about since it seemed that Alicent was the one to struggle to get with child. Her firstborn was a boy named Aegon, but no one cared from how she noticed the court fawn over the children of the Crown Princess and her consort.

The visit to Driftmark to visit Daemon and Laena bore fruit Laenor was the first one of the two to give birth, he had been lucky this time as he had been in his chambers taking a nap when his labors began and 3 hours after he gave birth to their firstborn son whom Rhaenyra sobbed as she saw her son, he looked almost like her little brother Baelon. 

Except, for the eyes, they were different colored and the babe had his Sire's skin tone, but Nyra could see their skin tone almost the same shade as Daemon. She named the babe Aemond

Laena gave birth 3 days after Laenor and had another boy whom was named Baelon whom took after his mother in coloring of his skin and hair color.

The Queen had her 2nd child a year after the Crown Princess's firstborn son was born, meaning it took her almost 2 years to get with child again, this was causing great stress to Alicent because she was visiting her husband almost nightly, and she knew she needed more children, specifically for at least one of them to be an alpha to be able to be made heir.

Nothing Otto had planned went as planned as Alicent only gave the King four children 3 boys and 1 girl and all whom he ignored other than to discuss their betrothals in the span of a decade and a half of their marriage

They were all omegas from what he and the Maesters could deduce.

While the Crown Princess had almost 8 children, 6 girls and 2 boys and her husband was currently pregnant, and some signs showed her children may be alphas. The same went with Prince Daemon and his wife Lady Laena whom has given birth to 7 children whom were boys and she too was currently pregnant whom the couple wished was a girl.

Both couples had a few sets of twins and it was surprising that the siblings were able to survive having them. Especially Laenor whom had a pregnancy resulting in triplets.

Everyone knew about the Valeryon siblings preference, but no one could prove that the children were bastards and no rumor could be shared since it was known that King Viserys was to cut out people's tongue or execute them for trying to speak treason about his grandchildren being bastards as well as his nieces and nephews.

Especially when it was a rare occurrence that either couple visited each other so there wouldn't be a chance to see the other pair, the people not realizing that Rhaenyra or Daemon secretly were able to have their spouse see the other, their children of course were almost born close at the same time, a few days apart or like the first twins months apart. However their youngest babes were actually 2 years apart, only because Daemon was injured during the visit Rhaenyra and Laenor had done.

Laenor was currently 5 months pregnant while Laena was 8 months along and Viserys had announced a tournament to celebrate the birth of his Goodsister's birth planning it to occcur a month after her birth, something that struck and humiliated the Hightower House as Viserys never announced a tournament for any of the births of Queen Alicent, only for his daughter's children or on the rare occasion those of his brother's.

The current children of Rhaenyra and Laenor were;

Baela and Rhaena their only pair of twins

Aemond their firstborn son

Visenya, Viseria, and Aemma were their first triplets

Joffrey whom actually was the pup of Joffrey, Daemon and Laenor shared a night with Joffrey and the only birth that worried Laenor especially when the Queen had made a face when seeing how his newborn looked, Rhaenyra had reassured him that since Joffrey was very much way down in the succession no one would talk badly about their pup.

Rhaella was their youngest daughter

As for Daemon and Laena they only had boys much to their amusement;

Jace and Luke their first pair of twins

Baelon their 3rd son that does not have a twin whom he does get somewhat jealous of

Viserys (II) and Aegon (III) was their 2nd pair of twins

Corlys whom was named after his grandfather and was somewhat spoiled by his grandfather because he was his namesake

Daeros was their current youngest son.

The oldest of both pairs of children had already presented as Alphas and much to the anger of Otto, Viserys had announced a betrothal of Aegon with his daughter's heir and with Daemon's eldest son. Both Rhaena and Jace were alphas and Omegas amongst the Targaryen were supposed to stick within the family which he knew and was ok to accept but he did truly hope that Helaena would've at least been an Alpha or Beta, but no she was an Omega whom much to his annoyance was then betrothed to Rhaena and Lucerys as both were up to being the heirs to Driftmark and the two marrying was a smart move that Corlys Sr. had accepted and since they needed an Omega so they could have heirs all eyes had gone to Helaena whom accepted happily.

Only the older children were given betrothals and truly Otto hated it, but knew he had to accept it, they were Alphas and his two eldest grandchildren were Omegas.

If only Alicent had done her duty well and good and had at least one Alpha child, or at least a son whom was an Alpha but the Queen had struggled to get with child all the while the Prince Consort had a very fertile womb.

Now his plans were ruined.

Chapter Text

The whispers began when she had tried to protest the King of declaring that his daughter was to wed first before he and Alicent did so, she knew it was good that the King has his daughter marry first before he did, but she believed it should've been them who wed first.

She believed Nyra was far too young to marry, she was 14 years old and Laenor was 17 years old. Alicent herself was 15 years old, but she believed that was a perfect age to be married.

The reason for why is because she knew the whispers that were to occur due to the condition she was currently in and she wanted the wedding very soon before anyone really suspected anything. The wedding of the Princess and her future Prince Consort were to happen a 3 weeks after the announcement. Thankfully the King had delivered the news two weeks before announcing the wedding, although thankfully both Nyra and Laenor knew that the upcoming wedding was theirs.

Thankfully their wedding was planned to happen 2 weeks of that of the princess. So thankfully the wedding was soon even if she understood the court would be worried about the events happening so close together and so to her horrified worries King Viserys changed the date of the wedding to happen a month after that of his daughter's. 

So now she had to ask her ladies to keep silent of her condition and thankfully they were paid by her father, but now her father knew of her condition, but since he learned about her condition 2 weeks before her wedding with the King he mistakenly believed she was a week or two along with her pregnancy of the child of that of the King.

He was wrong.

Very much, but she was too scared to tell him the truth of how long her condition was going on. She somewhat understood that he would've been ecstatic, but also angry as he would've ordered the King to marry her sooner. 

The wedding was to happen soon, and that's when she began to hear the rumors.

"The Lady Alicent is surely with child that's why the wedding is so soon."

"She warmed the King's bed before the Queen even passed, such a harlot."

"Harlot, she befriended the princess to seduce the King surely."

"She surely began to sleep with the King while the Good Queen was pregnant."

So many rumors were thrown about and since the King wasn't putting a stop to them just made everyone believe they were correct even if her father tried to tell people she was still a maiden. Thankfully she had asked her ladies to tighten her corset tight so as to appear thin still, even if she was she was too scared to not wear her corset tightly.

The wedding happened a month after the Crown Princess's and her husband Ser Laenor Valeryon, the Princess having announced she was with child 2 weeks after the wedding which shocked Alicent and Otto, mostly Otto since the man knew Ser Laenor preffered men.

Joffrey was of course a great help to the newlyweds as he and Daemon did their best to help Laenor bed Rhaenyra and complete inside her the many times they tried for a child. So it was no surprise that the Crown Princess was with child so soon into the marriage.

Daemom stayed for the wedding that followed a month after the Crown Princess's and watched with a frown as his brother married the Lady Alicent.

"Harlot."

"Surely the child that comes soon is a bastard, it will never sit in the throne even if it were a son that thw king needs."

"She has a bastard in her belly that's why the wedding is so soon and why the dress is very flowy."

He didn't add much to the rumors other than placing a bet in how soon they were to have the new Queen pop out a child after the wedding. He noticed how nervous she seemed and many could think it was just wedding nerves, but he knew it had to be something else.

She was worried of what was to happen to her once she began to show. The reason why she panicked for when she heard that the wedding with Viserys was postponed so that the Crown Princess could be the first one to marry and to show Valeryons favor, was because she was already with child thanks to the many nights she had allowed herself to bed her King.

She had made the mistake of not taking moon tea like how she heard her father tell her many times before when he told her to comfort the King. She of course did so, but she had been so nervous about Rhaenyra learning the truth that the last few times she bedded the King she forgot to take Moon Tea after and she didn't realize her mistake till it was far too late.

Her corsets were set to be tight around her stomach the first month of her marriage, she instructed and begged her ladies to not inform her father even if some of them cautioned her to not continue to do so once they understood her condition and learned how far along, she was.

Two weeks after the wedding is when she informed her husband that she was with child and after that the whole court learned she was with child.

The rumors still kept being heard among the rest and she wasn't sure how things would go.

This babe would very much be considered a bastard, and she didn't know how her father would feel about this, he had everything planned, but things had gotten out of control thanks to her not taking the Moon Tea like she had been told to do until it was proper to stop doing so. 

The Crown Princess was 7 months pregnant, and the court were to believe that the new Queen was 6 months along, but the way they eyed her huge belly that was far too big to be 6 months along many rumors still went around.

"Whore."

"Harlot."

"Perhaps it's more than one babe."

"Oh no she's far too big to be 6 months along with a babe, she was with child during the wedding I can assure you the babe in her belly is a bastard."

"Whore"

"She was a mistress first and now is a Queen, any child of hers is a bastard no matter what the King or her father says."

Princess Rhaenys and Lord Corlys were in the Red Keep to help their Good Daughter and son because of how difficult things were getting for Rhaenyra, she too was a bit big, but after some checking of a maester they were informed that she was having more than one babe. Sure Princess Rhaenys had advised the couple to not consummate the marriage so soon since they were still young, but Rhaenyra understood it was their duty to bring forth a child, an heir of hers to the throne and eventually an heir to Driftmark.

At least Joffrey helped Laenor and made the bedding be pleasant.

Queen Alicent was envious about the excuse the Princess could use for why she seemed so big, she was nervous and worried, she still had yet to be truthful to her father. 

Everything was ruined the moment she was in the garden with her ladies-in-waiting and a few of the noble ladies when her labors began.

"Get the maesters! She's miscarrying! She's far too early to give birth!" 

"She's in labor?" many astonished gasps came from the noble ladies, and most would've shown worry for her since they truly believed she wasn't that far along.

Some of the nosy noble ladies stayed to watch as the Maesters scrambled around the Queen and the labor was progressing much too quick to be able to take her to the birthing chamber, even a midwife they barely found informed them that it was far too late to move the Queen.

After 3 hours of laboring the Queen delivered a little boy and the maesters and noble ladies commented how big he was to be 3 months early which caused the midwife to frown and glance at the newborn.

Alicent laid panting and taking deep shaky breaths, and from her blurry vision she could see her husband, Rhaenyra and her father being in the garden behind the measters, Nyra's belly being rubbed by the princess and her father giving her a worried look since he too believed the babe was far too early.

Much to her horror that was when the midwife spoke what she feared many would discover.

"The babe isn't 6 months, he's perfectly healthy for he's a healthy weight for being 8 months in her Grace's belly."

She could see the fury in her father's face and the many gasps from whomever heard the midwife and she heard the laughter whom she could tell was Prince Daemon who had returned a few months after his niece's wedding presenting her gifts for her babes and just wanting to stay a while. It seemed he had returned to the Red Keep at the right time for he was now here to witness the new Queen Consort be declared a whore and his nephew a bastard.

"The boy is a bastard! A bastard! He shall never sit in the throne!" was what was screamed as she was helped up and taken away to her chambers and she began to sob as even her father screamed at her.

"Whore! A disgrace!" was what her father yelled towards her, because he could excuse if the child was born 7 or 8 months after the wedding, but 6 months? There was no excuse, there was no way he could lie and preserve the image of her surely being a maiden during the wedding. Surely, she couldn't have taken Moon Tea when the babe declared to be in her belly.

As much as it pained Alicent, the first child she gave her husband was declared a bastard by her own husband after some consideration, for he had been conceived when she was still an unmarried lady, and not even her father came to her defense as he was soon sent back to Oldtown and his title as Hand of the King was taken away and was given to Viserys's cousin Princess Rhaenys. No one protested and not even those that had become allies with the Hightowers sent protests to not declare the boy a bastard, for that's what the boy was since he was conceived before they were wed and born much too early to what many believed would be a weak attempt to pass him off as a premature child.

Surely, she would have another chance to give her husband another son, a legitimate one. She and her father could not afford to lose their allies that did not want Princess Rhaenyra as Queen.

Two months after the birth of the Queen's bastard, the Crown Princess gave birth to twin boys, Jacaerys and Lucerys, and much to Alicent's horror, Rhaenyra gave birth in the steps of the Iron Throne in a rainy day and when her little Luke came out of her the rain instantly stopped.

An heir to the heir and an heir to Driftmark. Both had done their duty and both boys took after their mother's looks from what Viserys and Rhaenys said as they held the babes, and both got their paternal grandmother's hair color and their father's skin tone, but Luke's skin was a bit lighter.

Their birth was celebrated with a tournament, something that Alicent deemed unfair internally because her Aegon was never celebrated, but internally she understood it was because he was considered a bastard, her poor boy wasn't even given the surname of his father for he was given the surname that went with bastards which had struck Alicent. 

Her little boy was now Aegon Waters, Bastard son of King Viserys and Whore Queen Alicent Hightower from what many said in mocking whispers.

But she had no one else to blame, but herself, and now even she was not given the proper respect as Queen for they called her many things and many of the court ignored her whenever she was in their presence. So, it was no surprise that her husband gave Rhaenyra the duties and roles that went to the Queen.

Princess Rhaenyra now controlled her household, the way the money was handled among the royal family and many other things that Alicent was supposed to do originally as Queen Consort.

Eventually her household was changed, her ladies-in-waiting were dismissed, and she only received one lady back who was a Valeryon who didn't bother to hide her disdain to the new Queen Consort for she was too harsh when dressing her or helping her with anything. She couldn't complain to her husband for it was Rhaenyra who controlled and assigned her ladies.

It took almost 3 years for her to become with child and have her child after having Aegon since it seemed like The Crown Princess was keeping her father busy with Princess Rhaenys showing him the many ways he needed to fix where the Smallfolk were living in and showing the many projects that his late wife wanted to implement to which were handed to Rhaenyra whom was beautifully showing she could do her duties as future Queen while tending to her twin babes.

So, it was a surprise that the Princess had gotten pregnant 6 months after her twin boys, although it indeed was for the married couple since the two and Joffrey had gotten drunk and shared the bed of the princess resulting in breaking the bed.

The princess welcomed a dark-haired pale skinned boy 9 months later and Alicent truly didn't mean to insinuate anything of the babe, for his skin was not the same as the princess and his hair was a dark brown and not black how she expected the grandchild of that of a grandmother who was half Baratheon.

"Do tell how you believe my son is a bastard your grace. For he is sired by my husband. Unlike that of Aegon Waters the true bastard in this family for he was born much too early to be deemed proper for a married couple," the Princess coldly told her and the Queen Consort felt as if she was punched in the stomach.

Her husband did not even try to defend her for he ignored her and asked to hold his new grandson that was named Joffrey for it was Ser Joffrey whom helped the princess deliver her child since they had been walking around the Red Keep to keep her distracted from a bit of soreness.

She didn't mean to insult the princess, but this resulted in the Queen Consort to not be able to attend a small get together with a few noble ladies or a few other events that Viserys or Rhaenyra planned.

More rumors kept going around in how she couldn't even keep her husband's attention with how it looked she wasn't getting with child so soon after she had her bastard son.

So Jace, and Luke were 3 years old with Aegon being 2 months older than them, Joffrey was almost 2 years old in 3 months time when Queen Alicent gave birth to her firstborn daughter which at first disappointed her for she had hoped for a son so as to secure her station since her firstborn son was considered a bastard and soon she understood that he was going to have to learn what that meant for him.

So her firstborn daughter was named Helaena and much to her horror was betrothed to Rhaenyra's firstborn son for he was the heir to the throne after his mother. His newborn daughter was betrothed to her nephew.

"I do not want that boy legitimized by marrying my sweet sister father, he is a bastard and no matter what your wife tries he is never going to be seen as anything other than a bastard and no one wants a new Targaryen Princess to marry a bastard son no matter if he is her brother," she eavesdropped when she came close to the Throne Room that only held her husband and the other members of the Council.

"Do not worry my sweet, Aegon shall remain a bastard no matter what, the succession follows only you and your boys," Viserys said reassuring his daughter, he truly did not feel bad that his long awaited son was a bastard for he was not the son he always wanted with Aemma and really he truly believed Alicent should've known better to drink Moon Tea after each time they shared a bed before they wed.

The children he had with Alicent were children that he would've rather had with Aemma and even then they would've been named differently, his sweet Nyra understood this, but she would in secret try her best to have her father think about the other children he was to have with Alicent.

That night Queen Alicent laid on the floor of her chambers sobbing as she realized she ruined all her father's planning and she had no one to blame, but herself.

Her third child was born a year after Rhaenyra had her 4th son, Rhaenyra having had another son 10 months after Helaena was born and Alicent stayed silent as she saw the dark brown curls of the babe. Funny enough, the boy was a trueborn son of Laenor and both of them were surprised by the color of his hair.

His name was Laeros.

Funnily enough Rhaenyra was pregnant again at the same time as Alicent got pregnant for the 3rd time.

Sadly her 3rd child was a girl whom was named Allysa, and she was embarrassed when she realized hours after birthing her child she had cried in anguish for she had begged for a boy, a boy that was legitimate and perhaps even become the new heir, but no she had another girl. A girl whom not even a day on the earth was announced to be betrothed to Lucerys Valeryon, the heir to Driftmark much to her horror, but she knew she really couldn't really do much, for her husband has stopped listening to her long ago and just asked for her when he wanted to bed her. She was just Queen in name since the Crown Princess was still doing the duties that were supposed to fall into the Queen Consort's and everyone at court and the rest of the kingdom knew thanks to the gossip.

So as expected no one respected the Queen Consort for after a half decade into the marriage with the King she still had not given him a legitimate son nor was she trusted to handle the duties of that of a Queen Consort.

Two months after Allysa was born, Rhaenyra gave birth to another set of twin boys whom she named Viserys and Daemon for she loved her father and uncle greatly and wanted to name her boys after them.

Now Alicent knew that the Hightowers lost any kind of support they had to try and have a Hightower on the throne for she has given her husband a bastard son, and 2 girls while the Crown Princess has had 6 sons in quick succession.

Alicent eyed her step-daughter's sons and felt a stab of envy for the Princess had succeeded in having her hair and her husband's heir to Driftmark while having more sons, yet she knew Rhaenys and Corlys teased their son that perhaps they should try for a girl to which Rhaenyra would laugh about it.

Alicent desperately wanted to give her husband a son, but her husband had began to stop asking for her to do her wifely duties and she was fearing the rumors of her husband having a mistress, she had barely begun to hear about them, but what she didn't know was that her husband indeed did have a mistress, but many of them he kept secret other than Rhaenyra and Daemon knowing about them.

She had noticed how her only lady-in-waiting that Rhaenyra had assigned her would smirk in her direction whenever they were in the throne room or after she had tried to speak with her husband.

And that was when it happened, she had her final babe a decade into her marriage, a month after Rhaenyra had her first and secondborn girls who were twins. She was not there to see that the babes had curly dark hair and brown eyes to which both Corlys and Rhaenys ignored for they understood that Nyra and Laenor had did their duty and more that there was no need for them to continue bedding each other. They however, did turn a blind eye when they noticed the curls of the girls for they resembled Aemma a bit when she was a babe from what Rhaenys had remembered Aemma's father described his daughter when she was younger.

Aemma and Visaea was what they were named, and the way to tell them apart was that Aemma had curlier hair and had a birthmark behind her ear while Visaea had a birthmark under her lip in the right side of her lip.

Once Alicent had her babe, after an excruciating 3 days of laboring she had her child and she had sobbed as she was informed that it was a girl and denied herself from looking at her newborn daughter to whom was handed to the king after he was informed that she finally delivered his 4 child from her.

She had begged the Seven to help her deliver a boy, but it seemed her sin was so great from having Aegon as a bastard that she was being punished by being given girls, and a week after having Daerah she was informed that her womb had been harmed greatly when having her 3rd daughter that it seemed as if her womb was no longer able to have more children and her husband was there as well and had somewhat looked displeased.

After that announcement, it was then spread around the Court that the Queen was now deemed barren and her womb ruined after not even giving her husband a legitimate son, and that's when she had to witness her husband parade around with his mistresses and even felt the sneers and taunts of the court as it was later announced his mistresses had given birth to a son or daughter as if declaring that she was the problem for the king not having a son from her.

Sure they were never legitimized, but she understood that this proved to everyone that her sin was so great. 

Sure she did have a son, but Aegon was seen as a bastard and it was beginning to get hard to not let him see why he was treated differently than his sisters.

She had sheltered her son so greatly, but once he began to be able to wander alone around the Keep it became harder for her to not let him see the truth, he did know he was not a prince, it was just that she did not allow anyone to explain the reason as to why even if he was the eldest of his younger sisters.

It was when he was 7 years old when he learned the harsh truth as to why he was not considered a royal even if his father was the King.

The Rough Prince and his wife Lady Laena had visited to meet Rhaenyra's twin girls, bringing along their twin girls and twin boys, the boys being younger than their sisters by 3 years, and she felt dread when she noticed her Good Brother sneer as her dear boy came into his view.

Aegon had been so excited to meet his uncle Daemon for the last few times Daemon visited Aegon had been far too busy to see him or his mother prevented him from seeing him.

Aegon had excitedly rushed over to go see his uncle and once he stood in front of him when he frowned as he noticed Daemon sneer at him.

And that's when everything went wrong.

He had been told the truth, and what had went wrong was that Rhaenyra's twin boys were standing behind their uncle and had tried to defend Aegon till Daemon convinced them that their dear Queen, their step-grandmother was a whore and schemer whom trapped their grandfather to marry her because she was 2 months along with Aegon when they had wed. Declaring loudly that their Queen was a whore and sinner and that their uncle Aegon was a bastard, that that's why his surname was Waters and not the same as his sisters.

After that day her son was quiet and had even asked his mother why she had sinned before she was wed, to which broke her heart and even then he begged for a dragon, something that was denied for him and the many bastards Viserys had with his mistresses.

Allysa had been able to hatch a dragon egg, Helaena bonded with a dragon when she was 5 years old, and Daerah as well had a dragon egg that hatched.

So Aegon grew envious and hateful when he realized his younger sisters were allowed dragons while he was not and his mother tried to reassure him that he did not need a dragon.

"I'M NOT ALLOWED A DRAGON MOTHER BECAUSE I AM A BASTARD! I AM NOT A PROPER TARGARYEN! I WILL NEVER OWN ANYTHING BECAUSE I WAS BORN FROM SIN!" he had screamed at her with tears in his eyes, he was 10 years old and had gotten tired of his nephews ignoring him and pranking him badly.

Eventually Allysa joined their pranks for even if she was 5 years younger than him, she adored her older nephews and followed them around as did Joffrey.

However, it was when the Valeryons and the royal family had gone to Driftmark to attend a celebration of Laena delivering a healthy boy when it went all wrong.

Aegon, who was now 12 years old had rushed to where the dragons were kept to just see them, he was in front of Vaghar when he heard Laena and Daemon's twin daughters, his sister's first twin boys and the light voice of Allysa who had decided to take a glance at the dragons. Not too close, but close to greet their mother's dragon.

"Ah the bastard is here, never mind let's return in the morning when the stink of bastard has left."

He didn't realize who said it but there had been much yelling and eventually had grabbed Jace's small blade that had dropped to the sand when the older children rushed away, only leaving the 7 year old Allysa whom begun to feel a bit bad for her brother when she rushed over to his turned back to give him a little bit of comfort.

However, what happened next was that out of anger and also being startled Aegon accidentally sliced his sister's face whom screamed loud enough to alert the guards and much to his horror Allysa pointed at him when Ser Criston Cole picked her up and the man threw a sneer at him and rushed out to get a maester for Allysa.

His mother was restrained by Princess's Rhaenyra's guards as she begged and sobbed for her husband to stop as King Viserys was whipping his bastard son's back bloody after just hearing Princess Alyssa say he caused the slash in her eye, for he had come close to cutting out her eye, her face cut from the bottom of her chin to her eyebrow and it was deep enough that she did indeed need stitches.

It was no secret that King Viserys showed favor with his daughters, from his oldest with Aemma to the three he had with Alicent after Rhaenyra had made him have moments to see and talk with them which resulted in them bonding with them.

No one other than the younger daughters of the King and perhaps the much younger children of the Crown Princess had flinched as Aegon's screams died down to sobs and whimpers and even then the King did not stop till his back was bloody and some skin hanged a bit. The louder sobs and begs of the Queen Consort were ignored as the Princess Alyssa was attended to and Viserys declared that any harm to his daughters or any of his grandchildren were to be punished, including any harm that would dare harm his nieces and nephews of Prince Daemon.

The 35 year old Dowager Queen watched as Rhaenyra was crowned Queen Regnant of the Seven Kingdoms, her King Consort Laenor Valeryon standing beside her with their children beside her looking proud at their mother who was currently pregnant, this being her 5th pregnancy.

She turned her head a bit to see her daughters glancing at their older sister with happiness and pride, she glanced down at Helaena's small swell of her stomach, her sweet girl having married Prince Jacaerys when her sweet girl was 16 years old, a year older than she had wed herself and Jace did not consummate the marriage till she turned 17. Her other daughter Allysa was set to wed Prince Lucerys after her 16th birthday, but she could see how much she loved Luke, her nephew for the young man was kind to her and reassured her when she got nervous about being a proper betrothal for him. And then her Daerah was still so young, but to her horror and what had been Rhaenyra's amusement her dear sweet young daughter was attached to her nephew Joffrey. Her young daughter acting jealous and improper when she was with him and it did not help that she had declared that she would wed him when she was older.

She glanced back at her father who did not look at her, for thanks to her foolishness no son of hers would sit the throne because the only son she had was a bastard and even then... her sweet Aegon had became too much of a problem after the Driftmark incident that he stayed locked in his chambers and it seemed the Seven were punishing her son for her sin because trouble would find him and he would be punished severely. His back stayed badly scarred and he now walked with a limp for her had been attacked when he was 15 years old and his leg was hurt so badly he had a permanent limp and as if punishment or revenge for what he did to Allysa his left eye had been cut out, not slashed. Her poor boy hid behind a half mask.

Sure her daughter was married to the Crown Prince and would give her grandchildren, meaning a grandchild with Hightower blood may sit on the throne, but she feared her daughter would not be able to give Jace an heir as she feared her sin would be passed down to her daughters.

She kneeled down to show respect to her old friend, and that's when she heard the pained wince of her poor son.

Aegon Waters the Green Whore's Bastard

That was the title many had thrown around once he was old enough for everyone deemed fit to throw the harsh names publicly knowing they could get away with it. She watched as her son place his bad leg down to kneel and his haggard breathing was shaky as he bowed his head.

"Rhaenyra Targaryen, First of her name..."

Alicent knew that everything was ruined, no son of hers were to sit the throne due to him being a bastard and who knew if a grandchild of hers would truly sit the throne, all because she forgot to take Moon Tea.

Chapter Text

Alicent sobbed and begged Daemon to allow a maester or midwife to attend to her, her womb aching and feeling like it was being ripped open.

Daemon glanced at his young wife and rolled his eyes at her as she took shaky breaths and groans sobbing arching her back off the bed from the cold bedchamber, he had forced her to occupy.

He chastised her to keep quiet and to deliver his child, to which he did not care for the sex, for he did not care for if it was a boy or not, he'd raise the child to be a proper Targaryen and not be a sniveling Hightower like his wife. A wife he did not want after his brother freed him from Rhea Royce.

He had heard that Otto had tried to pimp out Alicent to be his brother's mistress, but the girl kept finding the Queen with her husband that the two decided to marry her off to Daemon as what Aemma had confessed to Daemon was punishment to Otto for trying to pimp out Alicent. At first, he wanted to be angry with his brother and good sister, but really the only person he could blame was Otto because the man dared to marry off his daughter to Viserys after trying to brainwash Viserys to anull his marriage with Aemma.

Sure Alicent was innocent, but she was a Hightower, a spawn of the house he hated and despised that he had to touch her to consummate the marriage, but he understood he had to have children to strengthen the Targaryen royal line for Aemma had only been able to have Rhaenyra and Baelon and people feared the babe would not see his 2nd name day, but he was getting strong from what his niece had written to him.

He could've been cruel and tossed her outside to birth his child in the open nature and allow the elements possibly take his wife, but he could lie and inform his family that Alicent had not been truthful or was unaware of her actual due date as they've been married for almost a year and a half, Alicent having gotten with child 7 months into the marriage. For it truly took a while for Daemon to truly touch and then bed his young wife.

She had gotten round very quickly, and he taunted her and sneered that perhaps she bedded another man because she was tired of him to bed her, to which she had glared but looked at him with an offended look as if she felt hurt at what he said.

Some servants loyal to him kept coming around to bring towels to which he just tossed to his wife who's cries he ignored.

Two days was how long she had labored and even then, he didn't bring her a midwife until after a servant told him his children were born.

She had delivered twins, a boy and girl, the boy being born first to which he did not care, but what he was glad for was that the babes were a bit small.

Small enough to pass them off as being born too early because he knew he had to eventually tell his family that Alicent delivered their children, and he was thankful for lying and telling them she was with child when she was 2 months along.

He made his way to Alicent's room that was filled with his servants and a midwife who informed him Alicent was well, just having a slight fever and had also said that her womb seemed a bit hurt, but with proper time to heal she'd most likely be able to be with child again in half a year or so.

He made his way to look at his children and paused when looking at them, the boy had small curls in his head that was platinum blonde and his daughter as well had a few curls. He gently placed a hand in their heads promising they would be raised the proper Targaryen way, and deciding to see if he could have his brother betroth Baelon with his daughter.

Alicent was pale and was weakly breathing as she starred at her husband admiring the babes she suffered alone to deliver them.

"Aemond and Allysa is what they shall be named. I'll have someone send a letter to my brother to inform you've had the babes, do not dare to inform your father the truth of what occurred or I'll deny you from seeing our children."

His eyes bore down on her and she took a shaky breath before nodding.

Once the court were informed of the "premature" birth of the twins there was some commotion of people being worried for the young mother, especially Rhaenyra, however, Otto was seething and tried to see reason with Viserys that the twins were not premature because his daughter had informed him when she became with child.

It would seem as Daemon had thought of it all as he had quickly replied back and informed Viserys that Alicent had miscarried before getting pregnant with the twins as soon as her body healed from the loss.

Otto wanted to deny and seethed, but he had not been able to argue more for he had crossed Aemma too much with his attitude and had been able to convince her husband to exile Otto back to Oldtown and take away his role as his Hand.

Three months had passed when Alicent and Daemon had gone back to court to introduce their twins, their twins having unruly curls and both surprisingly had their paternal grandmother's two colored eyes. 

Alicent had a small smile and seemed so small next to her husband who was carrying the twins by a cloth that his mother placed him in when she took him to ride her dragon after she had him.

The now 16 and a half year old was mentally tired for she was still shook from how her husband treated her during her pregnancy and her laboring.

Her dear friend rushed over to her and gave her a hug, many had secretly thought that the princess would've been angry at her friend marrying her uncle for many believed she had wanted to marry him herself, but the princess seemed to have her eyes on Ser Harwin Strong and it was rumored that a betrothal was soon to be announced with how the two were seen interacting often.

She was glad that her old friend decided to take them to walk in the garden for that was when she decided to confess to her about what happened.

What shocked her was that Nyra froze before her eyes hardened and gave her a glare before informing her to not lie to her, that the twins were indeed premature. That surely her mind was still affected from the loss of her first pregnancy.

Alicent wanted to cry and beg her old friend to listen to her, but she understood that Daemon took further steps to cover how he hurt her.

Alicent and her husband stayed for a few more weeks and were there when the betrothal between Princess Rhaenyra and Ser Harwin Strong was announced, the 15 year old princess was to marry a month after her 16th birthday wasn't so far as Rhaenyra's birthday was a month after Alicent's own.

So it wasn't until a month after the wedding of the princess's wedding when news broke out that she was with child, and so was Alicent who endured the nights of her husband sneaking into her room and taking her for his own pleasure, declaring he wanted more children and hoped they'd come out with Targaryen looks.

The princess had twin boys with dark curls while Alicent delivered another boy whom Daemon scoffed at as he could see the babe had her hair color.

"I shall raise them to be proper Targaryens despite their Hightower looks, and the many more children I'll have your womb be filled with."

Oh how Alicent grew to hate her father for his plans have caused her to suffer it seemed.

Lady Alicent Targaryen nee Hightower passed when she was 25 years old, a decade after her marriage with the Rogue Prince.

She had died in childbirth as she had lost too much blood after delivering a 3rd set of twins.

She left behind 6 boys and 2 girls, and what she did not know was that her children would be raised to despise their maternal family and the Seven for they would be heard declaring them false gods.

Her Allysa was betrothed to her cousin Baelon and her Helaena was betrothed to Rhaenyra's firstborn son Jacaerys who was the heir to his father Ser Harwin Strong. Her Aemond was betrothed to Laena's firstborn girl Baela.

What she also didn't know was that her children would be raised to despise their own mother as Daemon would allow anyone who worked for him to talk badly about her and the tutors he got for them would badmouth the Hightowers and their religion.

Nor how her oldest son would wipe out the Hightower line when he grew older and became a man and his heart hardened due to the rumors that followed his mother and his parents rushed marriage, as well as the rumors of her family line being the cause of the Good Queen's difficult and almost fatal pregnancies. 

There were so many things she did not know of her children, as her husband forbid her from interacting with them once they turned 2 years old, deeming it necessary for she would ruin them from being proper Targaryens. 

Chapter Text

When Rhaenar Targaryen was younger, before his mother passed away, many in the court believed that he would've been betrothed to the youngest lady-in-waiting his mother had, the Lady Alicent Hightower.

The only daughter of Lord Otto Hightower whom was the Hand of the King. 

She was just two years older than him, but of course he was always taller than her.

Both children would always be seen playing around with one another when younger and the Crown Prince was always seen to choose her to dance with whenever their was an event or ball the King threw. Sometimes the court would see the loving glances he gave her and then the small trinkets he gave her as gifts.

Except, the court would be shocked for what happened once they were older.

Everything went wrong when Rhaenar was 15 years old, the Crown Prince ran away to help his uncle to fight in the Stepstones, but not before sneaking into Alicent's bed chamber and declaring he wanted to make love to her before he escaped to help in the war, that she had his heart.

So the two made love and Alicent awoke to being alone in her chambers, her ladies informing her father in how they found the young lady in bed which left him angered and he struck her before berating her for giving up her maidenhood to the Prince because who knew if he survived the war, they were not married so she wouldn't even be Lady Mother of the Heir she had for Rhaenar, she would be having a bastard if he left her with child.

He tried to push for a betrothal between her and any other house that would accept it, even thankful when Queen Aemma announced she would look for a husband for his daughter for she was her lady, but nothing came from her arrangements because Alicent got ill a month after Rhaenor left and Queen Aemma quickly understood what was going on for a maester did confirm Otto's fear.

Alicent was with child for she had lied to her father that Rhaenor did not spill his seed inside her nor did she drink the Moon Tea that one of her friends had given to her in secret because she somewhat believed she wouldn't be with child so easily from one time of them bedding.

However, she wasn't the only one for both the Princess Rhaenys and Lord Corlys came to court because it seemed that Rhaenar didn't just bed Alicent.

He bedded his cousin Laena Valeryon and not just her either for he bedded Hanna Strong, the daughter of Lyonel Strong.

Both ladies being ladies-in-waiting for the Queen and both were actually 2 months pregnant by Prince Rhaenar.

They were a month further than Alicent and it wasn't just that he bedded them, but he had married them the Targaryen way the day after he left to join the war, both women following him for it was no secret that Laena had liked to train with swords as did Lady Hanna whom would always be found in the training yard practicing or training under Prince Daemon's watchful eye.

So now both girls were married to the Crown Prince and fighting alongside him in the Stepstones and the King and Queen were worried for they only had 5 daughters, Rhaenar was their eldest son and their youngest daughter was 6 years old. It was well known that the Good Queen Aemma struggled during her pregnancies, having had consummated the marriage when she was 15 years old and Rhaenor had been a struggle during her labor for their only boy took 2 days before he was born and then her pregnancies later on resulted in her babes being born a month early if she wasn't careful enough or not in bed rest.

The 31-year-old Queen was sick with worry for her eldest child and now she had 3 parents worried with her about their two daughters that were now the wife of the prince.

However, 6 months after Rhaenar ran away, it was announced to the court that both Prince Daemon and Rhaenar won the war and were to return.

The court were there in the Throne Room when both uncle and nephew entered, however who they saw with them shocked them and any hope Alicent had that she would be able to be with Rhaenar for she had guiltily prayed to the Seven that Laena and Hanna passed during the war.

Next to Prince Rhaenar were both Lady Laena and Lady Hanna wearing armor that was designed for them and kept in mind their pregnant bellies for their armor showed off their bellies.

The Court erupted into applause as they watched both men and women kneel before the king and declare they brought the crown of the Stepstones and such.

After a few days it was announced that a celebration was going to happen for the marriage of the Crown Prince with Lady Laena Valeryon and Lady Hanna Strong, everyone of course was attending and Alicent could feel the stares from the few people of the court.

Alicent nor Otto could not get a moment to speak with either Viserys or Rhaenor so both watched internally worried as the court and other guests celebrated the marriage of the prince and two ladies who were now his Princess Consorts.

Otto was worried on what now was to happen to his Alicent, for she was now 7 months pregnant with Prince Rhaenar's offspring and there hadn't been any call for them to be spoken to or given an audience so they could see what they could get from the royal family for the transgression the heir did to his mother's lady-in-waiting,

The prince now was married and had two future Queen Consorts, and he had gotten Alicent pregnant and nothing was yet spoken about it.

To the shock and horror of the Hightowers, King Viserys made an announcement that since the Lady Alicent was with child of Prince Rhaenar, that she was now his Royal Mistress and that any babe from her womb was to be a bastard. This was announced in front of the court a week after the celebration of the marriage of the prince and his two wives, Alicent stood there in front of the King and her heart sank at the announcement.

Prince Rhaenar stood next to his father when the announcement was made and all he did was nod and smile at Alicent as if he did not just ruin her and their future child's lives.

As if he did not just ruin her prospects and future by declaring her to be his whore.

"What did she expect? She's the daughter of a second son of course he had eyes on his cousin and a descendant of the First Men. They're a better option for the heir to the Iron Throne."

"Well, her house is small of course he'd choose a proper wife as his future Queen."

"Whore."

"Harlot, did she really think those small trinkets were worth that of a future Queen?"

There were many rumors thrown around about her, how Rhaenar was seduced by her, and he got tired of her cunt so he decided to choose his proper bride, how she was was reaching for the future title of Queen Consort that she surely whored herself to him so she could be married off to him.

The Hightowers however, hoped that Alicent at least had a son or that the prince's two wives gave him girls and if Alicent had a girl then surely, he'd try to bed her again so that he could grow the Targaryen line. They hoped in secret that Alicent had a boy.

Two months later all the hoping and praying that the Hightowers had were pointless and they were left with disappointment for Alicent had given the Crown Prince a baby girl, although it was pointless to be disappointed since both Laena and Hanna had given their husband boys, and not just one.

Princess Consort Laena had given Rhaenar twin boys, Baelon and Rhaes, both boys had their mother's looks, but Baelon had platinum blond curls while Rhaes had silver blond locks, with Bealon having his paternal great grandmother's dufferent colored eyes. Princess Consort Hanna as well gave her husband twin boys, Jacaerys and Lucerys, both boys having taken their mothers looks other than their eyes which they got from their father as well as their pale skin.

Both sets of twins were born 2 days apart and after Hanna had given birth, King Viserys announced a celebration to which many would see the Queen Aemma cooing and fawning over her grandsons alongside Princess Rhaenys.

Lady Alicent Hightower sat next to her father, and both flinched as Gwayne was struck and killed by Prince Daemon who took off his helmet and got a huge cheer from the crowd.

"It would seem the whore's brother is dead now."

"Prince Daemon killed him for trying to smear the Princess' Consorts by saying they were the true whores, that Alicent was the true lady the Crown Prince should've wed."

Alicent felt her stomach begin to hurt and she felt tears drip down her eyes as she heard the many rumors, how she was stupid and naïve to believe that she was a better option as a bride for Prince Rhaenar, how delusional Ser Gwayne was to declare publicly that the Crown Prince married the wrong woman.

Both however knew that the prince wouldn't be punished at all for the kill since it was common for deaths to happen during a tournament.

So of course, the two sets of twins were born when Alicent was 8 months pregnant and that last month was filled with anxiety for Alicent because she hoped she was having a son, sure it was pointless since Rhaenor had 4 sons, but she truly believed that if she had a son then surely, he would legitimize the babe despite what his father said.

Her hopes were dashed a month later when she labored for 2 days and finally a little girl was born from her labors.

Halaena Waters was the firstborn daughter of Crown Prince Rhaenar Targaryen with his mistress Alicent Hightower, born from a royal father, but was a bastard that the prince would spoil till he eventually had his own trueborn daughters. 

The Princess Consorts gave the Crown Prince 4 more sons each before finally giving him each a girl less than a decade into the marriage. 

Princess Consort Laena had another set of twins, Aemond and Laeros, 2 years after her first set a month after Hanna had her 3rd boy, Joffrey who again took after his mother's looks other his eyes and skintone. Laena had her 5th son, Raelor 3 years after the 2nd set of twins three months after Hanna gave birth to triplet boys. Two, Haerwin and Viselos of whom had their father's looks and their mother's curls and the 3rd, Daerious, had their mother's looks. Laena then had her 6th boy, Aeros 2 years later a month after Hanna gave their husband their first trueborn daughter who much to their father's delight had their mother's looks whom was named Aemma.

After Aemma was born it seemed as the Princess Consorts luck changed and they began to have girls for both gave Rhaenar girls before The Crown Prince became King of the Seven Kingdoms.

Hanna had Jocelyn, Allysa, Visara, and Aegara in quick succession after Aemma was born, Jocelyn and Allysa twins born a year after Aemma while Visa and Aeggie were born 2 years apart from each other. 

Laena had Baela, Rhaena, Rhaenyra, and Aemanna in quick succession after Aeros for the twins Bae and Rhae were born a year and a half after Aeros while Nyra and Aem's were born 3 years apart while Nyra was born 2 years after the twins.

So  Laena had given her husband 10 healthy children, and Hanna had 11 healthy children something which the Realm would say that their wombs were blessed by the gods for each of the Consorts gave the realm many princes and princess before they reached their 30s.

Their daughters births were celebrated with tournaments that were made to seem as grand and glorious to show off the young Consorts fertile wombs that had given the realm a good amount of royal children.

As the decade passed, the court secretly mocked the Lady Alicent for after her status was declared to be the Royal Mistress of the Crown Prince she was sneered at each time they saw her close to Rhaenar and scrutinized her when her belly grew with a new bastard.

"It'll be another girl just you see, she's cursed her womb to give her only girls since she whored herself out to the prince."

To which was true for she gave Rhaenor 3 more girls through the decade, and none were legitimized nor celebrated, all of which Alicent understood because her daughters were bastards for she was the mistress of a married man whom was to be King and he already had his heirs and had no use for her.

And her hope to give him a son were dashed when he visited her chambers 2 months after she birthed her 4th daughter and bedded her before forcing her to drink moon tea before threatening her with harm if she got with child. That no child of his that bore the blood of Hightower would be in the line of succession. 

At 35 years old years Rhaenar Targaryen became King Rhaenar the First of his name with his Queen Consorts Laena Valeryon and Hanna Strong after his father passed away from an illness.

His six younger sisters stood in front of the crowd with their husbands and children, while his children with his wives were standing alongside their aunts and cousins.

The royal throuple had a total of 27 children, Queen Laena having had 13 children, multiple twins and one set of triplets. Queen Hanna had 14 children, multiple twins and 2 of triplets.

Queen Consort Hanna had 10 sons and 4 girls and was currently 4 months pregnant.

Queen Consort Laena had 7 sons and 6 girls and a month along in her current pregnancy.

The youngest babes of each one was 3 and 2 years old, the Queen Consorts fertility strong even after 2 decades into the marriage.

Alicent felt the somber looks of her five girls, to which hurt her because she understood as bastards they were not respected even if they were daughters of the now King, they were still bastards, and from a Lady of House Hightower they were mocked more for a Hightower woman was known to strictly religious especially with the waiting until marriage to have children.

But their mother was considered a whore for she was a Hightower and a mistress to the King.

Helaena was her firstborn daughter, she was 20 years old and had been married off to Laenor's second son for Laenor had wed Queen Hanna's sister Sarah and had given the man 4 sons. There had been whispers that they were bastards for everyone knew what sex he preferred, but their sons looked like Laenor so it was eventually dropped. A bastard with a suspected bastard. She was currently 4 months pregnant and seemed happy with her marriage, unlike her younger sister. Rhaenar had made the betrothal when Helaena was 12 years old and had allowed them to wed when Helaena was 18 years old but the marriage was not consummated until a year after the marriage. 

Aeganna was her second born, she was 18 years old and had been married off to a Lannister whom did not mind taking the bastard daughter of the future King as a wife. What had terrified Alicent was that the man was 30 years old when he wed her 14 year old daughter. Her sweet daughter having had twins not even 10 months into the marriage. She had been struck with nerves and anxiety for her since her daughter was so young. After the birth of the twins Aeganna was quiet and seemed tired all the time, but she could see that the couple somewhat tolerated each other. She was currently pregnant with their third child. She did not understand why Rhaenar changed his stance from letting Halaena marry at an older age and with someone close to the royal family to having her second daughter marry someone much older than her and at a young age as well.

Aemorys was her third daughter who was 15 years old and was currently betrothed with her half brother Lucerys for the teen had made it known he was obssessed with his bastard half sister since he reached his tenth birthday and declared he would wed her when she had been 5 years old and the only daughter Rhaenar ignored till his son said that. Rhaenar had accepted to make a betrothal after some discussion with his wives. They were to wed when she was 18 years old, but the small swell in her stomach made Alicent fear for her daughter.

It would seem a son was just like his father.

Daria was her fourth child who was 13 years old and was the only daughter of hers that was actually being considered to be taught how to be a Septa by Rhaenar for he ignored her entirely, having only held her once after she was born and only saw glimpses of her.

Only two bastard daughters were favored by their royal father, her firstborn and third born for Rhaenar showed a little bit of favor towards them , but Alicent understood it was mostly because they were married or betrothed close to the family

Later that night Alicent stayed in her bed chamber that was assigned to her after she was declared to be Rhaenar's mistress.

She squeezed her eyes as her door was opened and the now King entered her chambers to which she stood up and curtsied, but was ignored as Rhaenar pulled her close and kissed her roughly before tossing her to the bed and undressing the both of them.

She wanted to hate his touch, but his hands were good and brought her so much pleasure and she felt as if in heaven especially when he entered her. He was using her as a celebration of becoming King as his wives were pregnant and he did not want to hurt them as he was harsh with Alicent, his thrusts fast and harsh using his hands to play with her parts as to bring her to her peak. She was manhandled and moved to different positions to which made her weakly plea to him to be gentle for she was close to her 40s and her body had begun to ache.

After what felt like hours of her being brought to her peak he pulled out and spilled his seed to her stomach. To prevent her from getting with child.

He sighed happily and satisfied before standing and beginning to get dressed to go back to either his wives or see his children.

That's when the happiness and drowsiness she felt after their bedding began to appear, but now she felt something that she's despised when he declared for her to take Moon Tea.

Loneliness and emptiness.

"Why? Why keep our girls bastards? Why ruin me and my chances for a proper husband all those years ago?"  she whispered.

Decades of being disgraced and now her daughters somewhat suffering and now that he was King it angered her now how she was ruined by him, how he had dragged her reputation to the ground when he made her his Royal Mistress and kept filling her belly with bastards. How her poor father was stripped of his title as Hand of the King and his reputation also ruined for there were whispers of her father begging Viserys to allow Rhaenar to marry Alicent or something else that had ultimately angered the ing enough to send him back to Oldtown. 

Her sweet friend had changed and she never knew when he changed, before or after the war? He had declared she held his heart, but that was a lie for he had married Laena and Hanna who were a month pregnant and had it publicly declared that she was to be his Royal Mistress when he came back.

Rhaenar sighed before leaning down and kissed her neck before groping her breast.

"I wanted you all for myself, but I did not want any child of Hightower blood to stain the throne for no bastard of ours ever will touch the throne," he whispered next to her ear.

"But Aem-" 

"Aemorys is to marry Luke when she is older, Luke is 4th in line to the throne, Baelon is married and his wife has given him 3 sons in quick succession. My first 3 sons are all married and with healthy children, so no, Aemorys shall never be a Queen Consort for she is a bastard and you are not my wife."

Alicent laid there frozen for now she was given her answer.

He was obsessed with her and had decided to ruin her for any other man.

Once he left she curled up and sobbed.

She now regretted letting him bed her before leaving for the war.

Chapter Text

The realm knew there was a different Crown Prince before Rhaenar Targaryen, that there had been another person meant to be King of the Seven Kingdoms before Rhaenar Targaryen was named heir and then became King.

The original heir was his older brother Aemmos Targaryen, the Realm's Sweetheart, the firstborn son of King Viserys and Queen Aemma Arryn whom was the eldest of 4 children.

The heir was betrothed to Alicent Hightower, he was 17 and she 16 years old when they wed, but their betrothal was made when they were 10 and 9 years old.

Prince Rhaenar was 10 years old when he met the Lady Alicent Hightower, the only daughter of the Hand of the King, Otto Hightower.

Otto Hightower had spent years trying to make his friend see that betrothing Aemmos and Alicent was a good choice and eventually the King and Queen accepted it because there was no other lady of marriageable age that could benefit them for the only other candidates were much more younger than their son or much too older.

There was a few but they were from Houses that did not interest the royal couple for they were from smaller houses.

And their two daughters were much too young to married to either brother and they had been set a betrothal for the two for one to marry Laenor Valeryon and the daughter to marry the young Ser Harwin Strong from when they came of age.

However, even after they had married, the couple did not consumate the marriage despite the Princess Consort's father chastising her to do so for it was important to have an heir and to legitimize her role as Princess Consort to the Heir.

But the Princess Consort confesses that she does try but her Husband does not touch her. 

Sadly 6 months after the wedding the young couple become sick and sadly Aemmos died making Alicent now Dowager Princess of Dragonstone and she would've gladly gone back to Oldtown, but her father died a month after her husband did and no one in her father's family wanted to pay off her dowry and the King and Queen did not want to help her after it was revealed that she was still a maid and that the marriage was never consummated.

Although, Prince Daemon, King Viserys's younger brother, insisted that she did and was lying before he was eventually banished from court yet again.

When Prince Rhaenar is 16 years old, King Viserys passes and Rhaenar is crowned King and a month after doing so declares he was to wed her, which shocked her, his council and his uncle Prince Daemon who tried to reason with him that it was not a wise decision for she had been married to his older brother.

He even protested about her age for she was 22 years old and he tried to reason he needed to pick a noble lady, not the widowed wife of his brother who was not a maiden.

King Rhaenar protested his uncle and spoke how he knew she was still a maiden since they never consummated their marriage, that even her ladies-in-waiting told the truth, and after ignoring the protests King Rhaenar married the Dowager Princess making her his Queen Consort and made a grand ceremony for their crowning.

The new Queen had fallen in love with the King for he had kept her company sometimes when she was alone and struggling since no one in her family sent her money for they felt it was useless to house her for she failed to provide an heir to the past heir she would've been Lady Mother of the heir if they had consummated the marriage.

Once they consummated the marriage, Rhaenar had pulled her close and kissed her neck and reassured her that they would have many children and build a grand kingdom, that she had his heart and would cherish her till his dying breath.

She felt her heart flutter at his promise for surely she would be able to provide him children for she was still young and indeed fertile, and he would cherish her.

However, things slowly began to change in their marriage, tragedies made him change and eventually his love for her was disappearing and she struggled to have him love her while also trying to help keep the Kingdom running.

The first heartbreak was when she had conceived so quickly after their wedding and they had been so excited and giddy in private, he would rub her stomach when they laid in bed at night, he would hold her hand and reassure her during the pregnancy that she was glowing and beautiful. Except, when she gave birth to the babe the maesters and midwives were quiet before they declared the babe to be a stillborn girl which led her to sob and beg for them to be jesting. Rhaenar had rushed into the room despite the protests that it was improper and began to hug and calm her down.

"We are young we have many years to try for more my love," he reassured her, and she had truly believed his words, for she had been so naive as to not believe that he would not lie to her.

Except year after year each pregnancy resulted in either her miscarrying her babe or having a stillborn babe. It broke her spirit when after 2 years after their first stillborn girl she had given birth to a healthy boy and he had been so ecstatic and joyful even naming their boy Rhaenos and made such grand celebrations that the Kingdom celebrated and even the Queen Consort had been happy and felt her position as Queen safe since she knew many whispers went about that she was no royal and should have not married the King.

Tragedy, however, struck a month or two after his birth when Queen Alicent came back from the Sept (candle room where Nyra and Alicent prayed at idk the name tbh) and went to go see her child in the nursery and went to her son's cot and cood before touching his cheek and froze when she saw he did not move and then how cold he felt.

Her screams of anguish alerted the guards and the wet nurse assigned to her son.

Rhaenar held her close and was quiet as they burned their son's pyre, she had sobbed and begged for it all to be a dream.

It just went downhill from there because she kept losing her babes, and finally 7 years after they wed, she delivered a healthy little girl, Helaena Targaryen the firstborn daughter of the King and Queen Consort. She was at first saddened, but from the happy looks Rhaenar gave their newborn daughter she was reassured.

"A healthy girl, boys will follow I'm very positive," her husband reassured her, and she nodded as she laid in the bed tired from the birth but happy that she had delivered a healthy girl. She smiled as she watched her husband gently touch their newborn daughter in the cheek and kissed her forehead.

She had been so hopeful that perhaps he would be fine with having Helaena till she finally gave him his heir, his boy, but her world crashed when she bared witness the announcement of his first bastard son that was born 6 months after the birth of their daughter. The bastard was legitimized a year after his birth after maesters checked the boy's health and was declared healthy and well.

Rhaeos Waters was the bastard son of King Rhaenar Targaryen, and his mother was the Lady Arianna Hightower, a Lady-in-Waiting to the Queen who was also her cousin who was taken out of her household after 6 months of being in her service and it would seem the reason being was to hide her away from court and his wife.

However, Rhaenor was always seen with his Royal Mistress and their son, as if flaunting to the court that it was their Queen that was failing her duty that it was her that was the issue and not him. This would have Queen Alicent hearing the taunts and sneers of the court vipers whispering how their daughters would've made better wives for the King.

Queen Alicent held onto hope that she could still give her husband a son, but 7 years after she had Princess Helaena, Queen Alicent has her 8th and final stillbirth for it's her final pregnancy as 6 months after her 8th stillbirth her courses ended for she had turned 36 or 37 years old. The news was heartbreaking to her, but this was the horrible news that angered her husband since it resulted in King Rhaenar declaring for an annulment declaring she had lied about being a maiden when they wed.

Alicent had begged and sobbed pleading that she had not lied and had never consummated her marriage with his older brother to which resulted in him striking her.

"WHAT DEMON ARE YOU? YOU PROMISED ME AN HEIR AND SON YET NO BOY HAS ARRIVED! A LIAR AND WHORE IS WHAT YOU ARE! THIS MARRIAGE IS OVER! YOU SHALL BE SENT TO THE SILENT SISTERS OR BACK TO OLDTOWN AS DOWAGER PRINCESS OF DRAGONSTONE!" 

Alicent pleaded and tried to stop him from leaving their shared room he kicked her gently to the floor and hissed at her.

"This marriage was of sin, you wed and bedded my brother, resulting in this marriage to be of sin. If you leave willingly Helaena shall stay a Princess."

It was after he had told her that he was going to have their marriage annulled when she had learned the reason being that he was beginning to have a slight romance with his cousin the Lady Laena Valeryon. The Valeryon was a lady-in-waiting for her, who was 23 years old as everyone had heard a rumor that he had asked her to be his mistress or Royal Mistress as Lady Arianna had been married off to a lord when their bastard son was 5 years old. However, Laena had declared she would be no one's mistress and she had heard her husband promise her that they would wed soon. 

She tried to fight off the annulment, but this resulted in her being sent away to live in a small estate that was befitting for the Dowager Princess of Dragonstone, and he had given her a small household and had declared she was forbidden from seeing their daughter to which she begged for him to reconsider before screaming that she was his rightful Queen to the realm and to her Gods.

"Your false gods have punished you for lying about being a maiden when you wed me, that is why you never gave me a son, our marriage was false and my Gods have shown me my mistake," he hissed at her since he believed and worshipped the Fourteen and not the Seven.

It took 7 years for him to get the marriage annulled, to which Alicent had to stomach the news that her husband had declared their daughter a bastard and illegitimate, and bare the conditions he forced her into as each time she denied the annulment he would lower her monthly allowance and take away from her household.

She didn't have that many supporters for everyone had publicly deemed it not proper when they wed since she had been the daughter of a second son and she had at first been married to the previous heir, that she had been much too old for the young King.

She heard that Lady Laena and he had wed a few days after the annulment was declared and he had done a grand coronation ceremony for his new wife a few months after when she was showing that she was with child and Alicent asked for forgiveness when she prayed that the Valeryon Queen deliver her husband, or now ex-husband, a girl.

Her few supporters had her celebrating as news came out that the Valeryon Queen delivered her dear King twin girls.

Baela and Rhaena Targaryen, Baela was declared the Crown Princess of Dragonstone which shocked Alicent, but Rhaenor had declared that it would stay like that till his dear wife gave him a son.

Her dear Helaena was 13 years old now and had been denied the right to go see her mother as she would ask her father every now and then to which he would deny. Declaring that Alicent would poison her mind with lies.

Sadly, the same would happen to Alicent as she would send letters to her dear Rhaenar to beg to see her daughter. To which she would be denied as well, and she would keep sending letters amongst which had her declaring she was his lawful wife which resulted in her household becoming smaller as most of her ladies or other servants were taken away.

Alicent would pass at the age of 46 years old as she would become sick with fever begging in her deathbed for her to be able to see her dear Helaena who was now 16 years old. She would pass away still babbling away that she was the rightful Queen and wife to King Rhaenar I.

Lady Laena Valeryon was not that bothered when her cousin, King Rhaenar I had begun to court her by gifting her trinkets and such, even sending her poems in secret.

However, it shocked her when he asked her to be his Royal Mistress after he had married off Lady Arianna Hightower to another Lord who always was in court so as to keep an eye on his bastard son.

She was intrigued and wanted to accept it, but she remembered how her father raged and whispered into her ears in private that she was the rightful Queen Consort for her cousin. That she was the best candidate for Queen Consort to the King of the Seven Kingdoms for her blood had royalty in it.

She was a Valeryon and the cousin to the royal family, the King, for her mother was a Targaryen princess so she was rightfully deemed good enough to have been married to him if she had been the right age when he became King. 

So, she declined declaring she was no man's mistress and wanted to wait to give her future husband her maidenhead for which he understood. 

The gifts and poems never stopped though. He was being persistent and showing how much he truly wanted her.

However, she had heard that Queen Alicent's monthly courses had stopped coming, to which she knew meant that the Hightower Queen had lost her chance to give her King a son and heir that the Kingdom needed.

It was then when she realized that Rhaenar was asking for an annulment and declaring that Queen Alicent was never his lawful wife for their marriage was of sin. That Alicent was to be declared and recognized as Dowager Princess of Dragonstone. 

She waited patiently for when the annulment came, but it seemed that the little few people that supported Alicent were trying to stop King Rhaenar from placing her aside to remarry, and Alicent was making everything harder for herself.

It took 7 years for Rhaenar to finally annul his marriage with Dowager Princess Alicent, Lady Laena was now 30 years old and during that time she had begun to lose her patience, for she could have already been wed and had children.

Her father's whispers, however, made her rethink her decision really, she had a chance to bring the Valeryons close to the throne by giving the realm at least a son and heir.

Queen Consort, however, was a better title than any other title she would've received if she had wed any noble house and her father was so close to having what he wanted, his blood in the throne as it had rightfully should have been given to her mother as she had been the eldest Targaryen in line, but she was a woman, and Viserys had a cock.

It was now her duty to give King Rhaenar a son, an heir and have a future King with Valeryon blood be in the throne.

To make her father proud and to make the realm see that he made the right choice to place Alicent aside to marry her instead.

She became quick with child after the wedding and when she was a few months along Rhaenar set up a grand coronation for her. She had smiled and hoped the Realm accepted her, for she was helping the Realm in many ways as she began to work on a few projects, mostly working on making orphanages and other things to help the smallfolk. 

Her hopes were crushed when her labors began, and she delivered twin girls.

Rhaena and Baela Targaryen were their names and at first, she had been nervous for she had given her husband two more girls. He needed an heir, a boy for he only had the bastard boy with the Lady Arianna Hightower that he only legitimized because he wasn't sure if Alicent would have given him a son.

"We are still young, boys will follow."

Those words had reassured her before, but she saw how he eyed the ladies of the court, and she soon began to ask him to visit her chambers as to try and get with child again.

She got with child again a year later after she had twins, and she was sure and hopeful that it would be a boy. So that her station would be secure and well known to the realm that she was the rightful wife for King Rhaenar.

Tragedy, however struck them when she was 4 months along when she miscarried, and she was devasted since she had been so careful and such. 

Rhaenar reassured her that all was well, they still had time.

His patience, however, was thin and she began to see him take a mistress a year after their daughters' birth, even made the woman his Royal Mistress who he then set aside when she gave birth to a girl who was named Via Waters.

He wasn't unkind, he sent an allowance for his former mistress to care for the girl from what her father's spies told her.

Just like he did with his first bastard son.

Eventually, Rhaenar brought his firstborn daughter to court, the now 15 year old Lady Helaena Targaryen was a quiet girl, from what Laena had heard the young girl hadn't been allowed to visit her mother as of yet and had stopped asking to see her once she turned 10 years old. She had noticed how the young girl didn't like to be touched that much other than only a few of her ladies and her father whom just held her hand or gave her a gentle kiss in the cheek.

She truly did try to become a kind stepmother to the girl, but her attitude annoyed her and with how she dismissed her as her father's wife angered her which resulted in Queen Laena convincing King Rhaenar to allow Lady Helaena to be a lady-in-waiting for the twins.

Many letters were sent admitting that her step-daughter would ignore the twins as best she could and would be found in the garden looking for insects.

Laena didn't care as long as the girl was prevented from seeing her mother and away from court.

She tried to keep doing her duty and tried for a son again a year after her first miscarriage, Rhaenar was pulling away and not visiting her chambers and she so despised how she had to beg him to visit her so that he wouldn't go to see a mistress of his.

The twins were 2 years old when she got with child again, she was so positive it was a boy and so was her dear husband that he celebrated the fact that she was with child again. She hoped it was a boy so as to keep her position safe.

However, she began to see Rhaenar eyeing the young 24 year old Lady Hanna Strong, the only sister to Ser Harwin Strong, but only just looks as they were never seen with one another.

She began to pray that she had a son, an heir so her husband could stay with her, so that he would not cast her aside.

Her praying would pay off, but she would suffer as she went into labor at 7 months along, 2 months too early and the servants would pray for her as she labored for 3 days and 2 nights before finally a little quiet boy slipped out of her body, his little body covered in blood and much too silent.

However the boy began to cry loudly after some prodding, to which the Queen Consort let out a relieved sob as she threw her head back and weakly laughed as she had finally given her husband what he and the realm needed, which was a son and heir to the throne, but she secretly hoped Baela stayed heir, but she knew it was unlikely.

Laena could hear Rhaenar's joyful shout as it was announced that she had delivered a son and she smiled weakly as he stormed into her chambers and peppered her face with kisses and thanked her for giving him a son.

The boy was named Laeos Targaryen.

Baela was denounced as heir and the 3 year old was betrothed to her newborn brother in the way of House Targaryen, for now Laeos was made heir to the Iron Throne.

Laeos Targaryen was now Crown Prince of Dragonstone and heir to the Iron Throne at just one day old a day to which Laena was glad for, she would be Queen Mother once the time came for her husband to pass away, the only thing that worried her was her boy's health for he was much too small and always needed to be held to be kept warm and such.

This worried Rhaenar as soon after a month after the birth of his heir he told Laena they needed to try for another son, just ine son was not enough, which she understood, but it pained her that he took her to bed as to try and get her with child, he fucked her as if to breed her which she understood was what he was doing, but she truly believed he would make it pleasurable for her. The more a month passed and her womb was empty he would rage and take her roughly in her bed before apologizing to her, he needed more sons, even reassured her that she had done better than Alicent had done so.

This reassured her, but she would be in pain almost daily from him taking her daily and she felt relief when it was confirmed she was with child again.

Sadly she would miscarry when she was a month along after catching her husband with one of her ladies-in-waiting, Lady Aria Valeryon.

She sobbed in the bed as she yelled and threw things at him declaring he was at fault for causing her pain.

"I have elevated you as high as I can my dear, I can strip you of any power you have," he threatened her before storming out of the room and her father stormed in to chastise her.

"Dowager Princess Alicent endured it for 2 decades surely you can endure his eyes wandering, try again and do not kill the next boy," her father said with a slight glare and she cried as she was left alone in her bed chambers.

Once she was fully healed she tried to entice her husband to her bed chambers, but it would seem her miscarriage was her final chance as her husband became cold with her and ignored her advances and she heard whispers that he had discovered something about her or of their children.

She wasn't that worried for surely her husband knew she had endured 7 years waiting for him to wed her as he fought for them to marry.

However, she was shocked as she was taken by guards and taken to the dungeons and placed in a cell that had furniture and well kept, she kept pleading to be told what was happening, asking why they were locking up their queen. No answer was given as they gave her a slight glare and called her a whore under their breath.

The truth came when her husband stormed into her cell and shouted to be told the truth, in how many men did she sleep with before they wed for evidence had been given that she had lied about being a maiden and waiting for when they wed to give him her maidenhead. He knew their children were his, that they were trueborn for their dragon eggs had hatched in the cradle.

This shocked her and she tried to deny it, but he simply ignored her and declared the council had found her guilty of adultery as evidence was shown that she had lovers when he was away from her and she sobbed and screamed in the cell denying that she would shame herself with lovers that were not her husband.

However, Rhaenar did not listen and declared their children were to stay legitimate, but she was to be stripped of her title as Queen and punished, in what way she did not know.

She learned in what way days later when they dragged her to the courtyard with the smallfolk and her eyes widened when she saw Syrax, King Rhaenar's dragon standing proudly next to her rider.

She did not sob or whimper as she was forced to stand in front of the she dragon, she did, however, declare that her husband was a great man and good king and he had done what was necessary. 

She nor anyone saw the smirk Ser Larys Strong had in his face as the Queen Laena was burnt alive by her dragon.

For he had cleared the way for his and Harwin's sister to wed the king for they had both seen how the King looked at her, but they did not want her to be a simple mistress, she was perfect to be his Queen.

Lady Hanna Strong was the only legitimate daughter of Lord Strong and had yet to be offered a betrothal for her father had been so busy as Hand to the King, and she was a Lady-in-Waiting to both Dowager Princess Alicent and Queen Laena, so it was a shock to her that King Rhaenar had asked her hand in marriage merely 4 weeks after the execution of Queen Laena.

She wasn't entirely sure if she did want to wed him, for he had cast aside a wife and executed another, but the reasons for doing so to both made sense to her, Dowager Princess Alicent had lied about not consummating her marriage with the previous heir that she had cursed their marriage resulting in no sons. Queen Laena had lied and betrayed her husband by having lovers before they had wed and after they had wed. Both women had lied to the King and had put the realm in danger of no heir being born.

The betrothal was made and soon enough the realm learned of the wedding of their 45-year-old King with the 24-year-old Lady Hanna Strong and many didn't know how to react, but some nobles and other kingdoms were just reassured that he did not ask for the hand of their daughters really.

The court believed it would take a certain amount of time for there to be news of their new Queen perhaps being with child since Alicent and Laena both had a few months before an announcement was made.

However, everyone was shocked when it was announced two weeks after the wedding that Queen Hanna was with child, for it would seem King Rhaenar had truly felt his heart belonged to her and had bedded her with such gentleness as if she were made of glass.

As if he hadn't been much harsher to his past wives when bedding them.

Queen Hanna had shown she could calm the king's fiery temper for he was always found sitting with her with a calm expression as he rubbed her ever-growing stomach.

The court waited in fear for if any bad news to come, but none came and soon months later the court were happy to celebrate that their Queen had delivered twin boys.

Jacaerys and Baelon Targaryen for they had come quick and painless for their mother as she had delivered them when she had been in the middle of a bath, both boys had healthy lungs and her husband had sobbed with joy as he was presented with his twin boys, Jace looked like his mother while Baelon looked Rhaenor for two took his facial features, but Jace had their mother's hair color and Baelon took their father's hair color.

The boys were celebrated with a grand royal tournament that went on for a whole week, after the King had denounced Prince Laeos as heir and made Jacaerys his heir which shocked everyone, but he had claimed that perhaps the young prince was a bastard, for he took after his mother's looks and had dragon magic in him so who knew if he truly was his.

This angered Corlys and Rhaenys, but they feared for their grandchildren so they did not say anything for Rhaenar had asked Corlys if he would prefer Laeos to be the heir to Driftmark and Corlys had no choice to accept, perhaps his granddaughter Baela or Rhaena were to be wed to the new heir to which he was correct as the newborn boy was betrothed to the three-year-old Rheana.

Queen Hanna was known to have adored her boys and was shown great affection by her husband so the court was not surprised that she was with child again when their twins were 4 months old, they just wondered if this pregnancy was lucky to which it was as 9 months later the Queen delivered another set of twins, a boy and girl the boy taking after her in hair and eyes while the girl took after their father.

Lucaerys and Visea Targaryen were born quick and easy after an hour of laboring and were also celebrated with a grand tournament.

Luke was betrothed to his sister Vizzy at just a week old after Baelon was betrothed to Rhaena.

The King would parade around his children with Queen Hanna that he ignored Lady Helaena and at times the children he had with Queen Laena.

The now 19-year-old Lady Helaena was ignored and still her father had ignored any betrothal sent her way for he did not want any noble house to be able to be given a chance to gain dragons or even try to get to the throne since they

Queen Hanna was in her 3rd pregnancy when she tried to bring it up to her husband about Lady Helaena before giving him the idea that perhaps Lady Helaena was safer to be wed with her half-brother Rhaeos Waters for the boy was always in court with his mother and they were of the same age and any child of theirs would not be in the line of succession unless needed.

King Rhaenar accepted it and announced the betrothal to which shocked Helaena and Rhaeos, but they had to accept it for they were both bastards and it was the best match that they could be given.

Queen Hanna delivered a set of triplets 3 months before the wedding, giving the realm 2 more boys and another girl.

Joffrey, Daemon, and Aemma Targaryen all three took after their mother with the color of her hair and the shape of her nose, but they were very much the image of their father.

The amount of children Queen Hanna gave their king made the realm truly believe that King Rhaenar did a wise decision especially with how many sons she gave him. 

Tragedy would hit Lady Helaena 5 years later after she had married as Rhaeos would sadly pass away from an illness as she was pregnant for the 3rd time, and this tragedy would bring her 3rd stillbirth. She would not remarry as her father deemed it useless to marry her off to another.

Queen Hanna, during her 6th pregnancy would try to make him see reason for Helaena was still young and still fertile, perhaps she should be married off to one of Daemon's bastards to which her husband agreed with her and the 25-year-old widow was married off the 35-year-old bastard Eamos Stone whom Daemon had with a lady that was an old friend of his 1st wife Rhea Royce.

The realm knew that King Rhaenar I had a temper, but the court knew that Queen Hanna was always able to calm him down.

Two decades later after her marriage with King Rhaenar I, Dowager Queen Hanna, now 44-years-old, stood proudly as her firstborn son, the 19-year-old Jacaerys Targaryen was crowned King of the Seven Kingdoms a week after his father passed away from an illness.

His siblings stood proudly behind him, his twin brother, Baelon was holding both Visea and Aemma's hands as Luke, Joffrey, Daemon, Harwin, Aemmorys, Aerys, and Rhaenyra watched their eldest brother proudly. 

The curls on their head showing how strong her genetics were because yes, some Targaryen features were strong on them, her curls showed she was the one to make the Targaryen Dynasty strong again. 

At first, she had worried that the realm would not accept Jace, as Prince Laeos was the firstborn son of her husband, but the rumors of him being a bastard were strong and even then, the boy passed away when he was 15 years old.

The death had saddened Rhaenor, but he waved it off as he preferred his sons from his dear Queen Hanna, as she had given her husband 10 children, 8 of them being boys, and 2 were girls.

Hanna Strong was now Queen Mother of King Jacaerys I, the husband of the 22-year-old now Queen Consort Rhaena, at first Hanna had been worried about her son marrying Rhaenar's firstborn daughter with Laena, but the two had grown close during childhood and had been delighted when told of the betrothal.

She could rest assured that she had done better than her predecessors as she had given her husband and the realm many sons to keep the Targaryen Dynasty strong.

She would not know it was her brother, Larys Strong whom whispered to her husband the lies of Queen Laena and the forgery of evidence he created to have Queen Laena executed in charges of adultery and much more.

All to make her Queen Consort and he could be known as brother to the Queen and uncle to the princes and princesses. 

Chapter Text

Otto was a man of ambition, and he had pushed his daughter to be as ambitious as he. For he wished for a grandson of his blood to sit in the Iron Throne for he did not want a woman to sit in it, but he feared none of his grandsons will sit the throne. His stupid daughter made the mistake of doing what she accused Princess Rhaenyra of doing and took a lover.

The thing was that the stupid girl took a lover too early into her marriage from what the rumors speculated and with how his daughter was acting it would seem that they were correct and the dumb girl kept making stupid mistakes.

Aegon was her firstborn, the King's firstborn son born very early on as they had wed and not even a year had passed since their wedding and was what Otto had hoped would be the long-awaited heir the Kingdom needed.

Aegon was the only legitimate son of Viserys's as far as the realm saw it.

For all things going he was considered a bastard.

The problem was that they boy was born 5 months after the wedding and no matter how Queen Alicent tried to pass him off as premature everyone in court knew he was not.

The Crown Princess and Prince Daemon had witnessed her labor and sneered at the weeping mother as the midwife declared the babe was healthy for it had been inside her for 8 months.

The Rogue Princes or another servant gossiped, and rumors swirled that the Queen Alicent had at first been the King's mistress before the Good Queen Aemma passed.

And Rhaenyra was heard declaring her old friend a whore and schemer for she had only become her friend so she could become the whore of her father, the King and Daemon even declared she must have given her maidenhead to his ailing grandfather since she spent so much time with him when he was in his bed ill.

Viserys was happy to have a son but knew that the boy was conceived before they were wed and declared that Aegon be given the surname given to bastards, and for that Aegon was never legitimized or placed in the line of succession.

Aegon Waters, that was the name of his first grandson, the firstborn son of the King and Queen Consort.

However, he was seen as a bastard and everyone at court sneered at the babe whenever Alicent held him or other nurses.

Princess Helaena was born 10 months after Aegon was, and she had been somewhat celebrated, but not as when Princess Rhaenyra was born as her great grandfather had made a grand celebration for her birth. To which Otto despised, surely a girl should be seen as a good sign of Alicent's fertily, but he had to remind himself he had believed it wasteful when they celebrated Rhaenyra's birth.

Prince Daemon had come to see the babe and stayed in Kingslanding for almost 2 months, to which many would see he would be near the Queen Consort and there had been word that the Crown Princess was seen seething in anger and would be heard cruelly calling him the whore of the queen for her smelled like her perfumes.

So it was no surprise that King Viserys was not that interested in his newborn son, Aemond, it shocked the court when they learned the newborn was not given the title of Prince since he was the second born son, but he declared and sneered at his young Queen that the boy was a bastard from the seed of his brother. That the Queen had seduced his brother and slept with him while he had been deep in his cups.

Alicent had begged her husband that he was making  a mistake, that Aemond was his trueborn son, but she had been struck and sneered at before Viserys declared he despised her for he could've wed any other noble lady from a greater house but he was stuck with her for she had gotten with child and Otto had pressured him to wed her.

Daeron was born a year after Aemond, the boy took his mother's looks from her hair to her eyes to which led the court to rumor that Ser Criston Cole was the father for the Knight could be seen following the queen around like a little lost puppy which wasn't that hard for King Viserys to believe that his Queen had cuckolded him.

This would be the last straw as King Viserys would declare his marriage with Alicent annulled for she had failed to give him a legitimate son, hat she would be executed for there had been evidence that she had 100 lovers, that her sons would be declared bastards and only Helaena would stay a Princess.

Otto watched with shock as his daughter was executed by being fed to Rhaenyra's dragon and he screamed in shock as he was dragged towards the dragon and eaten as well.

After 4 years of marriage the only children to show for it was the Princess Helaena who was 3 years old when her mother was executed alongside the rest of her family as Viserys had her father and siblings as well as a few cousins and others executed for treason.

He quickly wed Laena Valeryon a month after the execution of his 2nd wife, his daughter, the 18 year old Crown Princess married Harwin Strong soon after he did and both Queen Consort and Crown Princess were woth child at the same time, and bot delivered twins.

Laena gave the King twin boys while Nyra gave birth to a boy and girl.

Decades later Rhaenyra was crowned Queen, her firstborn son was her heir with his wife, Rhaena Targaryen being his Princess Consort. 

Corlys got his wish it just took some time.

Chapter Text

She had at first been so happy to marry Rhaenar as they were friends when younger, but the prince was sent away to the Vale for reasons the court didn't know other than the King and Queen. Then again, he was the 2nd son as Aemorys, the royal couple's firstborn son, was the Crown Prince. Rhaenar was the spare that was sent to the Vale as a potential heir to his mother's niece from what she had heard from her father, the royal couple had more daughters than sons, 5 girls and 2 boys, their firstborn daughter was betrothed to her brother for they were just 2 years apart, their secondborn was betrothed to Ser Laenor Valeryon, and their 3rd daughter was betrothed to Ser Harwin Strong. The other two girls still too young to decide their grooms.

Rumors had it that they would be married off their aunt Daema's boys in Runestone for her firstborn was a lord as his birthright, and the secondborn was his brother's spare. Howerver, when Alicent was younger she had heard rumors that either of the younger girls would wed Rhaenar for they were a year younger than him.

Princess Daema had her sons 2 years into her marriage, after her second born was born she would not let her husband touch as she had made it clear she had done her duty and he could have his whores. However, when her firstborn, Baelon was 3 years old, her husband passed due to an injury he sustained during a hawking activity, then making the 3 year old now Lord of Runestone and his 2 year old brother Rheos his heir. So it was obvious why Viserys may betroth his two youngest with his nephews for one of them could be a Lady of Runestone.

The young boy had been gone for a decade before he returned to Kingslanding when he was 15 years old to marry the daughter of The Hand to the King, Alicent Hightower, who was the same age as him.

The Rogue Princess, Princess Daema Targaryen or the Lady Royce who was the widow of Lord Roan Royce and mother to his twin sons who were the heir to their father's land, had been the one to return with her nephew happily in her side.

The 30-year-old Princess was the one to announce to her brother that she had brought home his second born son.

Her favorite nephew of the many children her brother and his wife Aemma had had.

The wedding occurred a week after Prince Rhaenar had arrived, he had given her such a tender smile and kissed her so sweetly as they were proclaimed husband and wife. She felt so much like a princess and so safe in the kiss. She was his and he was hers.

So, it had hurt that he had been embarrassed about the bedding ceremony that he left their chambers storming out in anger much to her confusion for she did not understand what she had done wrong.

After an hour she went out to search for him, as she got closer to his bed chambers, she heard the soft moans of a woman and noticed his door was slightly a jar. She stepped closer and was careful to not be seen and what she saw made her stomach hurt and her heart to stop.

Her husband was in bed with his aunt, the Rogue Princess, Daema was petting his hair as he cuddled up to her naked body and kissed her bare breast while she stroked his cock.

Her husband seemed to have taken his aunt as a mistress.

This would crush her as he would flaunt his aunt around court, everyone knowing she was his mistress and preferred her over his wife.

She endured it, she knew he was not the heir to the throne and could do what he wanted, for she wasn't getting with child, and she knew it was her because not even a year after they began their affair the Rogue Princess brought forth Rhaenar's first bastard.

A son named Aegon Waters who would then be changed into Aegon Targaryen as Viserys did not wish his sister to have a bastard son, even if it came from his own second born son.

Queen Aemma seemed to dislike Alicent for she would glare at her good daughter, and Alicent would not know why for many years, but she would hear from the servants that the Queen believed Alicent to be barren or not doing her duty to give her husband children.

A decade later, and Rhaenar took another mistress other than his aunt who was currently with child with her 6th pregnancy, his new mistress being her cousin the Lady Arianna Hightower who got with child quickly after their affair began.

Her husband had 8 legitimized children with his aunt and now he would have another child with his new mistress.

And no children with her as she had yet to provide him with a child.

Oh, she did get pregnant, but her pregnancies resulted in a few miscarriages or a few stillbirths for she gave birth months too soon.

She was tired, and exhausted, she felt humiliated for the court would taunt her with their whispers.

"Her womb is not fit to give her husband a child."

"A decade in and even the Princess Daema has given birth to 8 babes to the prince, his new mistress is currently with child, perhaps Lady Alicent is just not fertile enough to give him a son."

She was scared for her marriage, she had tried everything to get with child, yet no child came. While his Royal Mistress and other mistresses he had other than his aunt have given him children that he liked to flaunt around even if the ones not from his aunt he didn't legitimize.

And when King Viserys passed alongside his heir who only had girls, Rhaenar was crowned King of the Seven Kingdoms.

She was now Queen Consort and she understood that she was now to receive the jewels that Queen Consorts collected over the years, so she waited for her to receive the jewelry that went to the Queen Consorts.

She never did and her stomach and heart ached when during the coronation she noticed Princess Daema wearing jewelry that she knew came from the Queen Consort collection.

Her husband had given the jewels meant for her to his aunt, his mistress.

She would be heartbroken, but she couldn't let her emotions get the best of her for she was with child and she wanted this one to go well.

Her husband was now King and needed an heir.

The 30 year old King Rhaenar I gave his wife a tight lipped smile for she was weakly grunting before sobbing as she struggled to push.

Half a decade into his reign, and a decade and a half married together and Alicent only had their daughter Helaena to show for it.

This was her 12th pregnancy, and her labors still did not come easily for Alicent had been laboring for 3 nights and 2 days and she had become much too weak to push.

Alicent's eyes widened when she saw the maester hold up a knife and the room was filled with her pained screams and sobs as she weakly trashed around the bed, before finally a small cry filled the room.

"It's a boy!" 

Alicent's shaky breathing was all that she could let out as they stitched her up and made her rest for weeks as she heard back from her ladies as her husband had presented his son to the court, he seemed to love the boy who was named Aemond, for he made a grand tournament to celebrate his birth.

Her brother, however was killed during the tournament by Princess Daema's eldest son whom was the Lord Royce as he had heard Gwayne comment how the Rogue Princess was a whore and dishonored the Queen by giving the realm 8 bastards to the king.

"What right do you have to say that about my mother when your useless sister has not been able to provide an heir to the Kingdom after a decade and a half into their marriage? Her womb is rotten and useless for she has only given a single girl while my mother has given him 6 sons and 6 girls. A fine number of children, and they're legitimate. As well as Lady Arianna Hightower for she has given him 4 boys and 2 girls, she's the only other mistress whom my uncle has deemed good enough to legitimize those children so it's not because she's a Hightower."

Alicent truly believed that Princess Daema's sons would be ashamed of their mother for being the Royal Mistress to their cousin the King, but they understood their mother was a widow and had declared she was no other man's wife and she had done her duty giving her departed husband an heir and a spare for now she was free to do what she liked.

So more taunts and sneers were thrown her way, calling her brother foolish for saying that to the Lord Royce for there were rumors that he and his wife had lovers back in Runestone that they even shared.

Her husband had gone back to her chambers a month after she had their son and coldly told her that one son was not enough, that he needed more or otherwise he would place the children he had with his aunt in the succession if she did not provide a spare and many more. 

She had been horrified and left sore every night, but she was relieved after a month she was with child again.

She prayed daily that it was a boy whom would be born healthy.

Her wish would not come true as she began to labor a month too early and then this one took 3 nights and 4 days before she screamed from the pain as her husband ordered for them to cut her open to deliver his son.

Her vision faded in and out and her breathing was shaky as she heard the disappointed sigh.

"A girl? Is she at least breathing?"

"No your grace, her heart is missing as well as part of her skull."

Alicent let out a shaky gasping cry before her eyes closed and her breathing slowed for she had lost too much blood and no one paid attention to the Hightower Queen.

The Kingdom did not mourn the Queen Alicent Hightower for she had failed her King by giving him one healthy girl for Prince Aemond would follow his mother as he would pass away a month after she did.

King Rhaenar I did not mourn his wife for he remarried the 25 year old Lady Arianna Hightower, his aunt having to tell him the younger mistress was a better choice as she was young enough to provide him with more children and did not mind that Princess Daema's children with him came first in the line of succession as Aegon was his father's heir as he was the eldest son of the King by 15 years old.

Chapter Text

Lady Anna Hightower was older than Alicent by 4 years, so she was 19 years old when Good Queen Aemma passed away in the child bed, the older Hightower had decided to go comfort Princess Rhaenyra for she understood the young girl would be deeply grieving for her mother. She was silent as she passed the door that held her father and paused when she heard the shaky voice of Alicent.

Her heart stopped as she heard what their father told Alicent to do and she found herself disgusted, Alicent was 15 years old, barely 2 years older than when Queen Aemma had consummated her marriage with King Viserys, she was a year older than the princess, and she knew this would ruin the friendship her sister had with the Princess and she knew how stubborn the princess was that she would try not to let Alicent speak the truth.

Her father wanted a grandson in the throne, he wanted pure innocent Alicent to be thrown to the King for she knew Alicent was easy to manipulate and force her to try and give the King as many children her body could handle.

She walked away quickly as she began to think things over, she was not going to allow Alicent to suffer just for their father's ambition, she shall marry a nobleman or a knight as her heart desired for she would not sacrifice her girlhood, dignity, and future for the ambitions of their father for the man would crush her and pour nonsense into her head.

So, she once it was past midnight and she saw Alicent wearing their mother's dress she dragged the trembling girl to the Princess's room where she told the two what she intended to do. 

Alicent at first was shocked and wanted to protest before Rhaenyra declared her friend deserved a better future for, she would perhaps wed a knight or another great house, but they could decide that when she was a bit older. That Anna was a better option for her father and would undo Otto's planning that he had going on to which after a bit of consideration, she agreed, and she and Nyra helped Lady Anna onto the late Lady Hightower's dress.

So, it was Lady Anna who visited the King and he at first was confused before thanking her for her comfort and they spent weeks discussing stories and just enjoying each other's company. Ser Otto was none the wiser as he truly believed it was Alicent whom was with Viserys at night.

Lady Anna encouraged him to mourn and ignore the council of them pushing for him to remarry so soon, to which he thanked her and a year later Lord Otto is shocked and angered when Viserys announces that he shall wed Lady Anna and that any son or daughter they had will wed any child that Lady Laena or Ser Laenor would have in the future and the same would go for Rhaenyra, for her first child will be her heir and would wed a child of either of her cousin.

When Daemon heard he wanted to be mad, but he remembered that the Lady Anna was a Hightower he somewhat respected and he was happy from what Daemon declared.

The Lady Anna Hightower was 20 years old when she married the 35-year-old King Viserys.

A month later, it was announced that the new Queen Consort was with child, and when the Queen Consort was 6 months along the Crown Princess was betrothed to Ser Harwin Strong and Lady Alicent Hightower was betrothed to a Lannister.

Rhaenyra, who was 15 years old married the 20-year-old Harwin Strong a month before Queen Anna delivered her firstborn daughter who was given a small feast for celebration for Viserys had heard his daughter had strong lungs.

Rhaenyra truthfully and regretfully was internally greatful that Anna had given birth to a girl, what shocked her was when she named the girl Visenya, that was one thing that bothered her, but she understood it was her father that named the newborn girl.

The court learned that the Crown Princess was almost two months pregnant the month after Queen Consort Anna gave birth to Visenya.

Queen Anna got with child again when Rhaenyra was 8 months pregnant, and she hoped it was another girl to spite her father and that her dear Stepdaughter would have a son.

Rhaenyra gave birth to a boy she and Harwin named Jacaerys, and Queen Anna immediately offered a betrothal between her Visenya and their newborn son to which they agreed to since Rhaenyra believed it benefitted them and it was somewhat to spite Otto.

Seven months later, Queen Anna gave birth to another girl who was named Daema, the Queen, her sister, and the Crown Princess who was currently 3 months pregnant with her second child, shared a private laugh as they heard that Otto had raged when he was given the news of his eldest daughter having another daughter.

The Realm were delighted to hear that the Realm's Delight gave birth to twins, Lucerys and Aemma Strong 6 months after Princess Daema.

Prince Luke was betrothed to Daema, and Aemma was betrothed to Laena's firstborn son she had with Daemon who was named Baelon.

It would be another two years before Queen Anna had another daughter and during those two years her sister had wed the Lord Lannister that she had promised her sister and had given her lord husband twin boys that took after her looks, and Rhaenyra had given birth to another set of twins.

The twin boys were named Joffrey and Aegor. 

The Crown Princess and her Prince Consort had a total of 10 children after a decade into their marriage, Queen Anna has given her husband 7 daughters much to the anger of her father from what her spies told her.

Each of Visery's daughters with Anna were betrothed to either a son of his eldest daughter's or to a son Laena and Daemon had.

Two decades later after King Viserys wed Lady Anna Hightower, Dowager Queen Anna sadly passed away in childbirth a mere 4 months after her husband passed and Rhaenyra was crowned Queen of the Seven Kingdoms with her King Consort Harwin Strong.

King Viserys passed from fever at the age of 55 years old, his dear wife the 40-year-old Queen Anna had been 4 months pregnant with their 10th child.

Rhaenyra and Alicent had been deeply heartbroken after the maester had informed them of the passing of the Dowager Queen for she had bled too much during her labors and were shocked when informed that the Dowager Queen had delivered twins.

A boy and girl.

Sadly the boy had passed.

As if to spite her father in the afterlife.

Each of Queen Anna's daughters were married or still betrothed to their nephews or cousins and as such there was deep love amongst them.

Queen Anna's newborn daughter was named Anna and had been betrothed to Alicent's grandson from her daughter Helaena, Maelor who was just two years old.

Queen Consort Anna Hightower was deeply mourned for months, and her 11 daughters would hear stories of their mother from their aunt and older sister from before she was Queen, and they would hear how she had saved their aunt and older sister's friendship even if her eldest daughters had already heard the story.

Otto Hightower would rot in Oldtown as after the years he had gotten mocked by his family that his eldest daughter had ruined his plans and had given the realm 10 to 11 useless princess for she never had a son to take Rhaenyra away from the throne.

His plans ruined by his oldest daughter who was always defiant to him.

Of course, he would have great grandchildren sitting on the throne, but he would be long dead, and any Hightower influence would be long gone after they came into the world.

All thanks to Anna Hightower and the need to protect her sister.

Chapter Text

I'm somewhat lost of any ideas comment any au idea yall have and i'll try to expand on it tbh

Chapter Text

Rhaenyra and Ser Laenor wed when she was 15 years old and he 17 years old, two years after her father remarried and after she was made heir.

Rhaenyra knew that the Valeryons, mostly those born into the family and not the ones married into it, had features of the creatures of the sea for what their Noble House was known to love and breath since that's what the Valeryons were known for especially her goodfather with how craved the ocean if it wasn't for his wife stopping him from sailing.

Some hard sharp shark teeth, gills, some even lived in the ocean as merfolk if their mothers had given birth to them in the water of the ocean amd it was rare if some were born with fish scales and could turn to a merfolk without birthing anywhere near water.

Laenor and Laena were blessed with the shark teeth their father had.

And Rhaenyra understood that if she wed Laenor they would have to try their best to conceive trueborn children. She knew his preference and knew she didn't have the heart to force him to bed her, that their marriage did have love, but mostly that of platonic love.

However, after a month into their marriage and doing their best to bed one another, but it resulting in weak giggles and cuddling, her new sworn shield Ser Harwin Strong spoke to them that he and his sisters, whom were Rhaenyra's ladies-in-waiting, would be able to help the newlyweds.

Which was how Nyra found herself amazed watching her husband be brutally and harshly ravaged by Ser Harwin as her husband whimpered and yelped before finishing in a cup underneath him by one of the Strong Sisters who were kind enough to the royal couple to not judge them.

They would find different ways to get his seed into her cunt and help see if it took to her womb.

Soon enough a month or two after trying as many times as they could try with Harwin helping she fell pregnant much to the joy to her husband who she would tease that he could barely be able to sit after each session of Harwin ravaging him. Her father was happy, but mainly worried for her for he secretly hoped that she did not get the same difficulties her mother did when it came to the birthing bed.

She gave birth 8 months later in her bathtub, her body sore and she had just wanted a nice hot bath when she began her labors much to the shock of her and the servants helping her bathe. When the midwife arrived she learned it was much too late to move her to her bed for they ended up her deliver the child where she was.

Which did not take too long for she labored for almost 2 hours before she let out her final scream and her babe was pulled out of the water with a piercing cry.

Jacaerys Valeryon was born with gills on his neck, he had the Baratheon Black hair with a slight wisp of platinum blonde, his mother's eyes and his father's skin tone.

Laenor and Nyra cried when they heard his cries once the midwife had pulled him out of the water. So happy to have their firstborn babe and her heir.

The newborn was presented to the court days later after his mother was well rested, those at court who knew of Laenor's preference were shocked to see that the babe took after his father in looks as well as Valeryon features.

Who was shocked the most was Otto and Queen Consort Alicent for they had believed the Crown Princess would have bastards.

But no it seemed like the couple were capable of having trueborn babes.

Lucerys Valeryon was born 13 months after his older brother, he too was born while his mother was bathing, but his birth was quick and easy, less than half an hour but it felt like forever with the storm going outside.

People in the kingdom and bards sang how the heir to Driftmark stopped the rain the moment he left his mother's womb as she had let out a final dragon roar to be met with her quiet babe.

The babe had his mother's hair color, his father's skintone and eyes and he had gills as well as his skin having scales the color baby blue and light purple. As he grew the court would see he looked like his grandmother Queen Aemma much to the discomfort of Queen Consort Alicent and to the somewhat saddened delight of King Viserys.

He was the only one of his siblings that could turn into a merfolk.

Joffrey and Jaeda were born a 2 years after Luke, the royal couples first set of twins named after Ser Joffrey who was accompanying the princess on a stroll and helped her deliver her babes when it was a bit too late to take her to her chambers and the midwife was a bit late as her first babe was already out while Prince Consort Laenor was comforting his wife as he encouraged her to push for their next babe's head was already almost out.

Both babes took the coloring of their mother and had the Baratheon Black hair and from what Princess Rhaenys said they looked like their father when he was a babe as well as both had gills and somewhat glowing eyes much to the shock of their grandparents.

Two years after the twins she welcomed to the world her and Laenor's only first of triplets that had two boys and one girl.

Aemmos was the exact copy of his mother with her snow white skin, pale hair and eyes, the only thing to stand out was the gills in his neck as well as his little webbed fingers.

Aeros skin tone was a bit lighter than his father's, as well as had his father's hair color and aunt's curls, he too had gills and baby blue scales.

Arias was identical with Aemmos except she had her grandmother's black hair and curly hair after the little fuzz on her head was washed and dried. 

In less than half a decade with her marriage with Laenor they had 7 children, five boys and two of them being girls much to Rhaenyra's delight.

Her half brother's didn't care to play with their nephews. Mostly because they were mostly afraid of their sharp shark teeth that helped them rip apart meat during their dinners.

Nyra and Laenor were fine to not try for more children, they had 7 children already and were only aiming for a little more so as that Jaede would not be the only girl amongst her siblings

However 4 years later after the birth of the triplets after one night of them getting drunk for fun they fell into bed and 9 months later she had another set of triplets to which brought the royal couple two more girls and one boy.

Viserys was pale as snow other than the light purple scales on his skin and gills and had his father's hair as  well as curly hair.

Aemma and Alianna were identical for they had their father's complexion and had gills as well as the webbed fingers of their older brother Aemmos. Aemma had platinum blonde hair while Alianna had the Baratheon black hair.

Much to the annoyance of Otto and Queen Alicent the Crown Princess and her husband resided in Dragonstone every few years now and then only returning to court to present their babes months after their birth as if to surprise the King for no news ever came about their birth so Otto  could not plan anything to harm the princess and Alicent knew that Rhaenyra's children had the Valeryon features so there was no way she could successfully spread rumors of them being bastards. 

So the Crown Princess and her Prince Consort had 10 children after a decade married and their final babes would be born a year after Daemon and Laena's 3rd set of twins, making them having a dozen children.

Rhaenyra and her husband would have many grandchildren almost rivaling Daemon and Laena's grandchildren with how many wives their sons took after a previous wife would pass from illness.

Many descendants of Nyra or Daemon's would have the Valeryon features as some every 2 generations a crown Princess or prince would marry a Valeryon. 

While Alicent's children did not have any descendants for Aegon and Helaena's children would pass before reaching adulthood and Aemond and Daeron passed before they reached full adulthood.

Chapter Text

Luke had caught the cold first, he loved the rain and would be outside either playing or looking at it and Harwin would be the one to force the young boy back inside. 

However, he stayed outside for too long resulting in him shivering and him complaining his bones ache when they're sailing for the funeral of their aunt who died after she gave birth to her and Daemon's only son, Baelon. He kept sneezing and even after his mother told him to not sneeze in the direction of his older brother, Jace caught the cold.

Both Laenor and Nyra tried to keep the boys away from their cousins, but they stubbornly wondered off and met the twin girls who somewhat accepted hugs and they shared food from their plates.

Which led to all 4 children catching the cold and Princess Rhaenyra apologized to her good mother and good father and promising Daemon that she would look after them for she's used to Luke easily getting sick from a cold.

Nyra ordered warm soup to be made for the children and for more covers to be placed on them so as to keep them warm.

So there was no fighting to occur when Aemond tried to claim Vhagar which did not end well for the boy as when he tried to control the dragon she threw him off when he was in the sky, he fell from too high of a distance, but Prince Daemon and Laenor had seen Vhagar fly and rushed to see who would be riding her, only for Laenor's horror to witness the dragon throwing off the prince from her back. The boy's body landed a few feet from them and they both rushed to take him to see a maester.

His wheezing and coughing up blood was a bad sign and so the whole castle awoke to the pained screams of the Queen Consort Alicent as she held her second born son's body as he weakly tried to speak and keep breathing.

Prince Aemond Targaryen died at Driftmark after he tried to claim Vhagar after guards failed to spot him sneaking around. His mother catatonic that she was locked up in her chambers back in the red keep after she almost attacked her firstborn son insisting he should've been with his brother.

Viserys agreed to betroth Helaena and Jace and soon after Prince Aegon passed away in a brothel after he drunk too much and had harmed one of the high paying whores who the owner cherished.

Chapter Text

Evanna was perhaps 500 years old or a few centuries old, but she had witnessed the rise of Westoris and the fall of Valerya, she even helped create dragons with her father meddling with her creations every now and then as well as the Direwolves that the Stark people would claim as theirs and if she granted a bit of magic then no one would know other than her father that loved to meddle around with humans.

She even was there at the rise of the Targaryen Dynasty and she was intrigued wondering if it was her father that worked on the humans being able to bond with the dragons and then inbreeding having to keep the magic within the blood, which wouldn't surprise her if he did do so.

She saw the future of each member of King Jehaerys's children and she was intrigued with their downfall, but she felt the need to help the women within the family, the women were suffering what with how bad parents the King and Queen were, surely it was stupid to marry off their young daughters to old Lords when they had brothers that were close to their age.

At night she visited and used magic to make their bodies, especially their wombs for she knew that was the only way these women were worshipped and only wanted for, strong. 

The future was set, but she could somewhat change it, by only a little really.

Sure their bodies may weaken, but st least they wouldn't die so young.

She especially was intrigued with the woman that would be Aemma Arryn, she was curious and wanted to mess around with the humans like her father would do so centuries to come with her two half brothers. 

So if she had taken Daella Targaryen at the age of 16 when her parents were looking for a husband for her and told her she wanted to help her escape the life she was doomed then no one was the wiser for she helped the young princess learn magic, not as strong as hers, but a weaker version of being able to make potions.

She even told her she'd take her place, but only for a while as she would fake Daella's death after she gave her future husband a child.

Evanna was a powerful sorceress, was centuries old, and was created by her father to bare Vampires and Vampaneze children just like her twin brother.

However, even after centuries she had yet to take the birthing bed, she wasn't even sure if her father had meddled with her littermates while they were in her mother's womb to allow any offspring her and her brother's had the ability to have the magic that flowed in her blood to flow into any offspring they may have. 

However, her future vision showed any vampire or vampaneze offspring she had wouldn't.

However, with the human child she was to have showed something different.

Surely it was because of her father having messed with the Targaryen Clan's blood and magic.

So she took the appearance of the 18 year old Daella Targaryen and wed Lord Arryn who was 36 yrs old, almost 2 decades older than his intended wife.

She acted demure and easily frightened how the real princess did.

She was glad the bedding ceremony did not happen, the human man was not that great in bed, but then again she didn't have anyone to compare to. Although he did give her a bit of pleasure.

Once at the Vale she did as what was intended as the wife of Lord Arryn and took care of things, she felt odd as she felt the little human being created in her womb.

Aemma Arryn would be a strong woman, with a powerful womb to give the Targaryen fool Viserys healthy and brilliant children that would contain the blood of future Kings and Queens.

She grew heavy with child, her magic providing the unborn child with a good magical core and health.

She went into labor a week after the due date and after a few hours she delivered Aemma Arryn. She wasn't that tired, but was relieved the babe was out of her womb.

A week later Lord Arryn mourned the "death" of his wife.

The real Daella, however would wed a vampire that Evanna befriended and would later turn her once she turned 21. Her husband having been turned when he was 24, he had only been a vampire for half a decade and wanted her as his wife.

They would go and use ask Evanna if she could help them have children.

Which she would, giving them 4 babes that were not to be turned until they were much older.

Evanna knew Aemma Arryn would need her guidance once older.

Aemma knew she was different. 

She could somewhat understand animals, hear them speak, oh even the dragons too and she knew they wanted to fly free, one of them wanted Viserys to mount and claim them.

She was half Targaryen and knew it was her duty to marry and provide her future husband with children. 

One night before she turned 11 years old a woman, who was tall and somewhat a bit chubby but had an aura of her made Aemma feel safe with her even if the woman had a few warts on her face and almost claw like nails.

The woman was named Avanna and was a sorceress, that she wanted to help Aemma learn magic.

Even promised to prevent some tragedies.

Evanna disliked the thought of Aemma being bedded at 11 years old just because the weak Viserys was impatient and with how the old King was would force the girl to get pregnant soon for heirs and spares.

She had Aemma to mess around with the future like her father liked to do, and sure she could use magic to make Aemma strong enough to bare children and Aemma indeed had magic, but she decided to take Aemma's place for a while.

She gave Aemma to the real Daella and her vampire husband Orion, and both were excited to raise her for a while.

She changed her form and used magic to cloud Viserys's mind and make illusions, she may have bedded Lord Arryn, but she would not bed Prince Viserys for he truly was not a great man in the bed.

So when Aemma's physical appearance looked 13 she did indeed let the man touch and bed her even if she felt disgusted by it she was pregnant again after a decade and a half from having Aemma.

She had Viserys's firstborn son, Aemmos, she wasn't sore and tired due to her magic, the boy had strong magic protecting him from harm.

A year later she bore the Prince another son, Aeros his spare. He too had magic protecting him.

When Aemma was 15 years old, Evanna switched places, the girl was no longer a maiden for she had been courted by a vampire that had recently turned but he had been forced to leave by his creator. 

Aemma understood that Viserys was very much blind for he truly didn't see how she had changed from personality for her birth mother had acted cold when she was in Aemma's form. Aemma, however, was sweet to him as best she could when she internally felt disgusted that her mother had preferred to make visions to make Viserys believe he had bedded and took her maidenhood when she was 11 years old.

She was a good mother to the 2 year old Aemmos and 1 year old Aeros for they loved her as she gave them hugs and cuddles. She acted like a mother should when she knew they were her half brothers.

She understood her duty to give Viserys more children, so she let him bed her, but she was semi surprised as he was gentle, for Evanna informed her he was like a sloth, slow and not that great. 

Surely it's because he had his heir and spare, as a month shy of her turning 16 years old she had her first child, her Rhaenyra whom when Evanna visited would nod in approval as she said Nyra had strong magic and a good powerful womb.

Aemma was a bit worried though, for she knew The Stranger didn't care if it took an adult or a babe, but Evanna reassured her, Nyra's line and those of her first two boys and future babes she had would have descendants strong and around the Seven Kingdoms.

Aemma would give Viserys 3 more children, 2 sons and a daughter at the age of 18 years old.

Triplets with strong magic in them as well.

A Baelon, Aemon, and Visenya before he's made heir and then King of the Seven Kingdoms.

After Viserys becomes King, Aemma has 4 more children.

Deoros when she was 21 years old.

Daella and Rhaegor, twins at 23 years old.

And Baelon when she was 25 years old.

Ten children is how many children the King had, 2 not from her womb, and 8 that were.

Seven boys and three girls,  all whom had strong magic to protect their bodies from harm.

Which would be that of the Hightowers, once they were older they knew Otto was a danger and so was Lady Alicent, both them and their house was a danger to the Targaryens.

Alicent was friends and a lady-in-waiting for Rhaenyra, but she was too loyal to their father and after a few visits with Evanna they learned that the maesters in the Red Keep had been trying to poison them and from what Evanna could see it had started the moment their eldest sibling was born.

Aemma knew the Maesters were also trying to poison her for she had known their auras were dark and with magic she had been able to deduce they had tried to poison her womb.

If they wanted her gone then that was what they'll get.

Her and her children planned to ruin Alicent and her father as well as the other Hightowers.

Chapter Text

Princess Rhaenyra was the younger sister of King Viserys and Prince Daemon, she was loved and cherished by her brothers that it was understandable, and very much to her irritation, that she was still unwed for her Kingly brother did not want her to go away far from him and Queen Aemma, they disliked the idea of her away from family. That and she had not gotten any proper betrothals from what her brother said.

At first, she was annoyed, but then became thankful as she witnessed her dear cousin spend a decade trying to get with child, but she would stay with a empty womb. 

She heard the whispers.

"The Queen is barren."

"Mayhaps her womb is not being filled enough?"

All the rumors angered her and she hated the idea of her poor goodsister suffering as she failed her duties.

Aemma was 22 years old when she passed from a fever.

Rhaenyra was shocked when Viserys soon announced that he was to remarry in a year and a half after Aemma's passing.

What shocked her more was that he declared he was to marry her.

Her? As Queen Consort?

The idea was tempting, but she had begun to want Daemon as her husband as they were the younger siblings. For they had begun to feel a pull towards one another.

However, she understood it was her duty and she would do it, she would strengthen their house, she would help her brother to bring up a great Dynasty for generations to come. 

She had a hunch that Viserys was sterile, for Daemon had confessed that Viserys had visited many brothels with him and Daemon indeed has bastards that he tries to support as best he could, while Viserys has had no bastards for he had heard many whores be surprised that Daemon had more bastards. 

It would seem many of the whores her eldest brother slept with had lied when they told Viserys that they had taken Moon Tea for they had told the other whores and then not gotten with child.

So, before the wedding was to occur, she and Daemon met in secret, had spoken in secret of their theories of their brother being unable to produce a child. 

Daemon accepted that he would be the one to help her produce an heir and spare.

Viserys at first had been nervouse to wed his only younger sister, for surely, he should've wed her to Daemon for Daemon's wife Rhae had passed away a month after Aemma had from a fever as well.

However, he had a duty to the realm to perform, to bring forth more members for the House of Dragon for the Targaryen line needed to grow.

So, he decided to marry their younger and only sister, for duty and hoped that surely love would come along in the marriage.

However, he felt awkward and decided to drink during the festivities, too much actually as once it was the bedding ceremony, that no one attended since he forbidden anyone from watching the consummation of the new married couple.

As he laid in the bed, he knew he had undressed and so did his new wife, but he was so tired and drunk that he only remembered when Rhaenyra got in bed with him.

He knew they consummated the marriage for there was her maiden blood on the sheets and he saw his seed dripping down her thighs as he awoke to his arms around her.

He did not touch her again a week after their wedding, so it was a surprise to him when a maester informed him that Nyra was with child a few weeks after the wedding.

He was ecstatic and so joyful, finally their family was expanding and it would expand more after Daemon wed Lady Laena.

What he did not know was that Laena had been told the truth of the new Queen Consort and of her husband by the two and was ecstatic when they invited her into the relationship.

Daemon and Laena wed when Queen Rhaenyra was 3 months pregnant, and Laena was 5 months along her pregnancy when the Realm was delighted to learn that their Queen had brought forth twin boys from her hard labors.

Aegon and Aemon was their name, both were pale as sknow and had platinum blonde hair and had their grandmother's two different colored eyes but in different sides.

Four months later Laena brought into the world her and Daemon's twin girls, Baela and Rhaena Targaryen who at just a few hours old were betrothed to their cousins Aegon and Aemon.

Viserys teased Daemon and Laena that they couldn't keep their hands off one another when Lady Laena was found to be with child 3 months after having the twins, this was also along the same time as Queen Rhaenyra found herself to be with child again.

Viserys knew he rarely bedded his sister wife, for he did not want to tire her body and sure she had given him an heir and spare, but he knew the realm needed more children from them and she knew that as well.

She would happily get into his bed, but she knew due to his nerves he prefered to drink a bit of wine before they bedded, but what he did not know was that his sister-wife would put a sleeping drought to make him fall asleep as they "bedded" and then invite Daemon and his wife who they too turns ravishing each other.

Queen Consort Rhaenyra and Lady Laena were a month apart in their pregnancy, both giving each other knowing smiles when they were alone.

The Queen brought forth a girl whom was named Aemma, Lady Laena brought forth a boy named Baelon.

A decade and a half after her marriage with her brother, Queen Rhaenyra had given the Realm 7 boys and 5 girls while Laena had given her husband 6 boys and 8 girls.

Viserys became ill, he was getting tired fast his bones ached that Queen Rhaenyra declared that their heir, Crown Prince Aegon shall act as Regent for the time being.

That was also when Rhaenyra stopped bedding with Daemon, they still made love with Laena, but she didn't want to risk having another child. 

Half a decade later Dowager Queen Rhaenyra was now Queen Mother as her eldest son Prince Aegon became King.

She saw the proud smile on Daemon's face as well as Laena's. 

They had strengthened the Targaryen line for decades to come as Aegon and Baela had already had 4 children as Aemon and Rhaena had triplets.

As long as the truth of their true father stays secret.

Chapter Text

Aegara loved to drink, as the firstborn daughter of Queen Alicent she understood since she was young that she had been deemed a disappointment by her mother and grandfather for she had not been the long awaited son, and heir that they had hoped for. 

No all the attention went to her younger brother, Prince Heleos, the only son that her mother had given the King to which she found quite pathetic for surely she should've tried harder because sure Haleos was a boy, a prince, but surely she should've tried to give the king a spare.

Her older half sister Rhaenyra has had 6 sons with her husband Laenor less than a decade into their marriage before finally having her long awaited daughter Visena.

Since she was just a daughter from the woman she clearly knew her father did not care for, she was free to do as she pleased.

So she drank and slept around with whores at thr Street of Silk. She made sure to drink Moon Tea, for she didn't want a brat yet.

So she was shocked when she heard she was to be betrothed to her younger brother instead of what she believed to be her nephew Jace.

It was after the Driftmark incident when it was announced that she was to be betrothed to Heleos.

She'd rather wed her nephew Jace than her dimwit brother. She trashed her room and drank herself stupid to mourn her time as a "maiden" gone for now she was to be a married woman to her brother and give him children. 

She just hoped it wasn't soon, they were 13 and 12 years old.

Except, her mother had ordered to be married sooner rather than later.

So the 13 year old Princess Aegara married her 12 year old brother Prince Heleos two months after Lady Laena's funeral.

She laid frozen as her brother clumsily entered her, for she could help him fuck her, but she had thought they'd wait to consumate the marriage, but it seemed like their grandfather forced Heleos to consumate their marriage to get her with child soon.

Now it was her duty to be a dutiful wife and Princess to be faithful to her husband.

Heleos rarely bedded his sister wife, but when they did Aegara got drunk to drown out her senses to ignore how she felt no pleasure. 

Thankfully a month after the wedding she was found to be with child.

What her mother did not know was that she would drink heavily at night to ignore her thoughts that she was with child, that she was now forced to be a dutiful wife that she was now in a cage.

Nine months after their wedding was when Aegara's labors begun. Her chambers filled with her midwives and a bit of blood, she squeezed her brother's hand tightly as she pushed and began to sob as it hurt so badly.

Their mother cooed at her and tried to comfort her before she pulled away and leaned towards Heleos's hesitant touch to her forehead.

She had been laboring for the entire night and an hour before dawn broke out was when her babes finally let her womb.

She laid in her bed panting and trembling as Heleos squeezed her shoulder when she noticed that everyone was quiet.

"Wh...what's the matter? Give me my children," she weakly huffs as she sits up wincing.

"What is the matter?" Her mother asked and she felt her heart stop as she realized they weren't crying. 

"They're much too small your grace, they're breathing, but they're far too small and..."

Aegara took shaky panicked breaths as she glanced at Heleos who was giving her a small sad smile.

When the court was presented the twins, it was a month after they were born. For the twins were much smaller than they were supposed to be.

Jaehaerys had a few missing toes and fingers while Jaehaera was missing a few fingers in her right hand.

A trembling Aegara presented the twins, her grandsire hiding the sneer in his face.

Heleos was holding one of the twins as he declared he loved them not caring how they looked.

Later both Queen Alicent and Otto raged at Aegara asking what did she do to bring forth deformed twins to which Aegara shut down and stayed quiet.

Heleos tried to defend his sister, but he was ignored.

It did not help that eventually the twins were found to be both blind and deaf. For they did not react when people were around them but would scream as if in pain when they were grabbed.

Otto hissed at his grandson and granddaughter that they needed a spare.

Aegara did not want to be touched, but she understood it was necessary. 

She tried not to drink while pregnant. But she drank in secret at night to calm her nerves.

Maelor was born blind and deaf with scales on his skin and missing fingers.

Aegara laid in the birthing bed frozen and tired as Heleos weakly reassured her that their son was perfect.

But he wasn't and nor were the twins her children were deformed, blind and deaf and they shreaked as if in pain.

But oh how her broken heart ached for them, she tried her best, the maids helped calm them, but they would only allow their mother to touch them. Even Heleos wasn't able to hold them most of the time.

As they grew the court could see that their children were not to be Targaryen beauties nor did they have Hightower looks. Their eyes too small, their lips too thin.

Septas and Septons complained on how the children wouldn't focus on their studies.

The court whispered that Aegara and Heleos's children were born of the sin of their grandmother for how she mocked the heir or others said they weren't Heleos's children.

Aegara would spend each night hugging her children and begging for forgiveness for causing her children to come out wrong.

Which was why her heart broke as her children were found dead when the twins were 5 years old and Maelor 4 years old for they were found cold and blue in their beds.

Otto did not care that the children were dead, he ordered his sobbing granddaughter to do her duty and give Heleos proper healthy children.

Aegara was 4 months along when the King passed and she felt pain at the news as she knew Heleos did not want to be King, she did not want to be Queen Consort.

Aemond had gone to try and get allies, but when news came of him being struck down by lighting her labors began and she cried and begged for her mother to do anything. 

She begged and pleaded the gods to let her children have a fighting chance for she wished it would be a boy, twins even so that Heleos wouldn't touch her again and fill her rotten womb.

The cries of pain filled her chambers as her mother reassured her she could try again, soon after she and Heleos were crowned.

But it never came as Aegara was soon found in her cchambers dead as she had stabbed her heart, clutching the toys their children had.

Heleos was heartbroken and much to the horror of his mother and their supporters he rushed to his dragon to drown him in fire.

Queen Rhaenyra came back to the castle that held so much bloodshed as her supporters had executed Otto and the other Greens.

Dowager Queen Alicent had gone mad and was screaming and crying in her bed chambers clutching the old toys of her children and grand children. 

She had done what she thought was best.

But it had just broken her already broken daughter. 

Chapter Text

At first the Hightowers were happy and smug when Queen Consort Alicent gave the King his long-awaited son, Aegon. Sure, they were semi saddened when her second child was a girl, Helaena, but after that she had Aemond and Daeron much to their relief since this showed that the second wife of Viserys did a better job than Queen Aemma.

Princess Rhaenyra was worried of course but was glad when her father reassured her that she was still his heir.

Although, she knew she would have to do her duty and marry an omega to bring forth her own heir.

Much to her anger her father betrothed her to Laenor, the second Omega child of Princess Rhaenys and Lord Corlys. However, she knew that Laenor preferred male omegas and she had reassured him that they would do their duty and could find happiness elsewhere. However, much to her happiness, but also annoyance, her dear uncle, Alpha Daemon, whisked him away during the wedding ceremony much to the anger of his parents and the shock of Laena and Rhaenyra for he had killed Laena's betrothed in a dual.

So now Laena had no alpha in line for her and Rhaenyra did not have an omega.

That was when they wed after some talking with Laena's parents.

It helped that the two already loved each other dearly.

So they wed and not even a year later Laena gave birth to their first daughter, Jacaera that had Rhaenyra's pale skin, Laena's curly hair and their grandmother's black hair.

The new parents did not care that they had a daughter, they were just happy that Laena had a healthy delivery and that their child was healthy.

Otto and Alicent were delighted about the fact that they had a daughter and secretly mocked the royal couple as not even a year later they had another daughter, Lucaera who became the heir to Driftmark since she was the eldest child of Princess Rhaenys and Lord Corlys.

Two years later they had Jaefra who was named after Laena's guard who helped her deliver the babe. Joffrey who teared up before teasing them that was nowhere close to his name.

This was all happy news to the Hightowers since this meant that the Crown Princess had yet to have a son with her Princess Consort.

Much to Princess Rhaenys and Lord Corlys's delight they had finally gotten news from Ser Laenor and Prince Daemon.

They had of course wed a month or two after Rhaenyra and Laena and Laenor had given birth to twin girls a week after Jaefra was born. King Viserys allowed his brother and Ser Laenor to return to court to introduce the twins.

Sure, the Hightowers didn't like that Prince Daemon now had children but relaxed that it was twin girls.

Everything went wrong when Laena, after a decade after having Jaefra, had given birth to twin girls.

Aemma and Visera were born after two days of their poor mother laboring and a month too early in a visit to Driftmark. 

Laena of course survived as did the twins much to Rhaenyra's delight and relief.

The Valeryons arrived to celebrate a successful birth as did Viserys and the rest of the Court.

Aegon had yet to present, but Helaena was suspected to be an omega due to how she acted.

No what happened was that Aemond had sneaked out to look at the dragons and ended up being harmed by one of them, he had tried to reach one, it almost burnt him and, in his attempt, to escape he accidentally collided with a sharp rock and lost his eye.

Before Queen Consort Alicent could blame her firstborn there was a commotion, one that she and Otto did not want to happen.

It was announced Aegon was an omega due to the fact he was having his first ever heat in the chambers he had been given.

That was also the same night when Jacaera went into rut revealing she was Alpha much like her sire much to the shock and horror of Alicent and Otto.

Surely Helaena was an Alpha or Aemond an alpha.

Half a decade would pass, and things did not go according to how Otto wanted.

All of Alicent's children were omegas.

And all of Crown Princess Rhaenyra and Princess Consort Laena's daughters were alphas.

And now because of Viserys their children were betrothed. 

Jacaera was to marry Aegon when she turned 17 years old, Aegon was like a puppy around her.

As was Aemond with Lucaera, the girl had grown to be taller than her soon to be husband much to her and her sisters amusement.

Helaena, however, was betrothed to one of Daemon's twin girls.

Daeron, was betrothed to Jaefra. 

This had dampened the Hightowers plans and they realized that they didn't have a chance to steal the throne since Viserys was much too sick to get Alicent pregnant again.

How did they miscalculate so badly?

Alicent should've had alpha children.

Rhaenyra instead sired almost a dozen children, half of whom were alphas.

Chapter Text

It wasn't malicious when he did it, he had been pressured by his council that he needed to have an heir soon after Jaehaera's 12th birthday as her ladies-in-waiting announced to his council that the young Queen Consort finally had her moon blood. That they had been wed for three years and she was the proper age to have his heir.

The maesters ignored the fact his maternal grandmother had complications due to being bedded so young.

At least that's what he told himself years later.

That it wasn't as a form of revenge and punishment for his first wife for her side of the family to destroy his mother and steal his brothers and father and every other person they held dear to them.

She had accepted her duty with a stiff lip, she should be fertile, her mother had her and her twin when she was 13 years old so she should be fine.

The King and Queen Consort consummated their marriage at 12 and 16 years old, with the young queen mentally praying her duty be fulfilled and give her husband an heir for the realm to be at peace. That her punishment be quick.

She indeed had twins.

A deformed stillborn boy and a little girl he named Halae whom had the platinum blonde hair.

Jaehaera felt this was punishment for what her family did to her husband's family. For surely the gods were cursing her for why would she have twins only for the boy to be stillborn and her little girl to be taken away from her before she could hold her.

"Her blood is filth, for surely she would raise them wrong with how mad her mother was as well as how filthy her father was and how my step grandmother was a savage," she heard her husband tell his older sisters when they came as the birth had finished.

Halae's birth wasn't celebrated, how could it when her father drained the royal treasury and she wasn't the long-awaited heir.

Her husband returned to her bed two months later after Halae's birth.

She knew there was urgency for there to be a boy born from their union.

She mentally begged again for this time a boy to be born. 

Her wish was ignored as she had a miscarriage 4 months later and the maester declared it was to be a boy.

She had celebrated her 13th nameday by herself a month earlier and she was now mourning her  salvation.

Her husband visited her chambers about a month later and bedded her for hours, filling her womb as if he was in a hurry.

It was like that for two months before a maester finally declared her with child.

She prayed at the sept the entirety of her pregnancy for it to be a boy.

Her 2nd child (really her 4th) born was a girl much to her heartbreak. 

A girl born a week after her 14th nameday.

Much to her dismay their 2nd daughter was born with neither the Targaryen silver nor the blonde hair. Instead, her newborn daughter had the hair of the very person Aegon III's council despised.

Her grandmother's auburn red hair and from what she heard from her good sisters, her daughter also had the brown eyes of Dowager Queen Alicent.

They named her 2nd born daughter Alae and she too was another child she was not allowed to even see.

Her girls were mostly being taken cared for by maids and other members that only Aegon trusted.

She was only allowed to visit them just once a week for an hour while guards watched over her as did her husband.

It was during the time when she was pregnant with Alae when it was announced Viserys, her husband's younger brother, had survived and finally been brought back to the Red Keep with his wife Lady Larra Rogare. 

The 15-year-old prince and his 24-year-old wife arrived with their firstborn son Aegon who was 4 years old and with the lady wife heavily pregnant with their second child. 

The Queen Consort seeked comfort within the few ladies she had, for she eventually thought she could have comfort with her good sister Lady Larra.

But even the lady avoided her whenever they even crossed paths.

Secretly she felt envious for her Good sister was able to give Viserys a son so soon into the marriage while she only had 2 daughters. 

A small celebration was held when Viserys and Larra's 2nd born was brought to the world. 

A healthy boy named Aemon, after their elder sisters maternal great grandfather for the twins had memories of their grandmother Rhaenys telling stories of her father.

She had gotten with child soon after 2 months after her 14th nameday, her husband giving her so little time to rest.

She wished to protest, but she knew it was her duty to give her king a son, an heir so that the realm would finally be at ease.

At 6 months she delivered a stillborn boy that was missing a heart and legs. It's hair was black, thr same shade as her eldest cousins, Jace, Luke, and Joffrey.

She had begged the gods as she felt blood drip down her thighs to let the babe survive. 

She was being punished.

Punished for being the child of the killer of her husband's mother.

It was her 15th nameday when she learned she was with child again.

Her 3rd daughter was born 8 months later, so much pain for a babe coming a month early, so much screaming and the babe was another daughter she wasn't allowed to touch or even name.

This one named after the good Princess Alyssa Targaryen, the mother of his father and grandfather. 

She had the hair, the dirty blonde hair.

Another babe she wasn't allowed to touch.

Two years later the 20 year old King Aegon had a funeral for his young wife, the 17 year old Queen Consort Jaehaera Targaryen had passed during childbirth.

She had delivered a stillborn boy, but she had bled too much and too fast there wasn't much anyone could really do to help her.

She left King Aegon III with three daughters.

The 4 year old Princess Halae, the 3 year old Princess Alae, and the 2 year old Princess Alyssa.

He mourned for 3 months before his council deemed it necessary for him to remarry, even his brother told him it was necessary, that he didn't have a son.

Several ladies from other houses came to show off their young maiden daughters to be deemed fit to be his next bride.

Only one stood out.

Their Velaryon cousin, Daenaera Velaryon, daughter to Vaemond Velaryon. And she was 14 years old.

They wed a week after her 15th nameday.

The whole court could see the new Queen Consort made the King happier, made him smile for he would always be seen smiling and showing small effection to the young queen.

How she tried to get him to spend time with his daughters.

The only ones he truly bonded with was Alyssa and a tiny bit with Alae, but Halae was mostly brushed off and seen with him during a few times.

The new Queen was 18 years old when she and her husband finally consummated the marriage. The 24 year old King treated her as she was a fragile thing.

She gave him 5 children not even a decade into the marriage.

Daeron, Baelor, Daena, Rhaena, and Elaena.

Those five he cherished and adored publicly while brushing off his two eldest daughters and acknowledging Alyssa.

And when Daenaera gave him 3 more children, all boys whom he named Jaece, Laecearys, and Laenor he celebrated their births all the more.

His eldest 2 weren't given a fair life as they grew older.

Halae wanted to become a septa, but she had been wed to her cousin Aegon.

Alae was married off to an old lord.

Alyssa had wed her cousin Aemon to her delight a bit.

Their cousin Naerys was allowed to become a Septa when she asked her uncle the King.

Aegon III's line of succession was a bit successful as all his sons became kings and had great reigns and continued the Targaryen line.

The only issue his sons had to deal with was their eldest cousin Aegon's bastards.

Mostly the fact the man couldn't keep it in his marital bed and had many mistresses, humiliating Halae. 

Chapter Text

Aegon, Prince Viserys's eldest son with Lady Larra, was 16 when he was wed to his 14-year-old cousin the Princess Halae Targaryen.

The firstborn daughter of King Aegon the 3rd with his first wife Queen Consort Jaehaera Targaryen. 

He didn't mind the marriage, he was marrying a princess, who wouldn't be ecstatic?

He was a Targaryen Prince as well, he deserved it.

Especially his cousin that was pure Targaryen. 

Either way, he was going to give his uncle many grandchildren to make the next generation of royal Targaryen children.

Although, he had already bedded a woman, Falena Stokeworth when he was 14 years old. The 24-year-old mistress of the prince had met the young man when he was 12 years old and she 22 years old.

She taught him the ways of pleasure.

Sadly, she was sent away and married off before it was announced he was to wed Halae. 

Although, his attitude changed when he heard his cousin beg her father to allow her to become a septa.

His uncle, much to his relief, denied her request, stating she had her duty as the eldest royal child to wed and bring honor to the family to bring forth more children. 

So, they wed a week after the bride's 14th nameday.

He would've been excited to become the husband of a princess, but he had heard the whispers.

Of how her existence was the proof that the Spawn of Aegon the Usurper was being punished for The Greens usurping his grandmother Queen Rhaenyra.

So, he was being married off to control her, but to also bring forth pure Targaryen babes.

She can't ignore her duties, she couldn't become a septa, she was the eldest royal child so it was a ridiculous request.

The wedding wasn't that flashy, it was simple and small. Princess Halae was much paler and seemed as if she was close to tears when the vows were spoken.

He should've found her beautiful, she was a Targaryen and of Valeryon descent, but she was a thin thing, barely any curves.

She cried during the bedding, a whimpering pathetic mess as she pleaded for him to be gentle to which he ignored.

Two months later it was announced that the young princess was pregnant much to her husband's delight.

Her step mother, the Queen Daenaera tried to reassure her pregnancy was not too bad, that things would go smoothly. Although, surely her telling her this in private and not in proximity to her husband was a sign that she was lying.

It never crossed her mind.

She was easily sick and everything ached when she began to get bigger.

She found comfort that her stepmother was pregnant at the same time as her, she had announced her 4th pregnancy a week after the wedding. That she was actually two months along.

So her stepmother was 4 months along from her.

Her pregnancy did not stop her husband from bedding her still despite her protests.

When she was was 5 months along that was when Queen Daenaera delivered her 4th child, a girl whom they named Rhaena after her aunt the lady Rhaena.

It was around that time her husband took a mistress.

Much to the King's amusement it was a Hightower whom he took as a mistress, one whom had light brown hair with curls.

Her name was Alicia Hightower, a 15 year old girl whom was Princess Halae's lady-in-waiting as she was made a hostage once the eldest princess was 10 years old and needed companions.

Childbirth was a scary thought to Princess Halae, for she had heard the whispers of how her mother was in the birthing bed and how she had lost many babes as well as of her paternal great grandmother. 

But she kept being reassured by her stepmother that things would go well.

However, when the time came she was in so much pain, her womb felt like it wanted to rip itself open and her room was filled with her pained screams.

Her son, Prince Daeron was born after two days of laboring.

The maesters took the almost 17 year old Prince Aegon and warned him that the birth took a toll on her body, that this was the only child she could give him. That another pregnancy would kill her.

He brushed them off, his wife had a duty to bring forth more children.

As a year passed after she had her son Prince Daeron, Princess Halae was back in the birthing bed, in pain and her cries of pain filled the room. Her lady-in-waiting the Lady Alicia with her, the Hightower girl having had the birthing bed not even 3 months ago but she had a stillborn girl.

Her husband had stopped visiting Alicia after that and took another mistress.

After a day and a half of labor she delivered stillborn twins, which left her a crying mess.

Her father after a week of her failed birth had sent Aegon off on a diplomatic mission. Some whispers said it was to let his eldest rest and have her husband away from her.

He took another mistress during that time, for he was gone for almost a year, and brought her to Kingslanding, making the woman be another lady-in-waiting for his wife.

A lady named Rhasha Orthys while another he kept hidden as she stayed back in her home.

Megette

Cassella Vaith

Bellegere Otherys

Barba Bracken

Melissa Blackwood

Bethany Bracken

Jeyne Lothston

Serenei of Lys

Those were a few of the mistresses that Prince Aegon took during his marriage with Princess Halae not including those that were his wife's lady-in-waitings.

Magette was a poor wife of a blacksmith whom gave Aegon four daughters before his father learned about her and made her go back to her husband and sending the girls to become septas. 

Casella Vaith was a hostage from Dorne that her husband kept in his home back in Lys where he his maternal grandfather left him the bank after his death. He gave the work to Aemon who did his best to make the thing work with his later wife Princess Alyssa. 

She was sent back to Dorne a few years later.

Bellegere Otherys was a mistress he kept for a decade, the one alongside Rhasha whom he kept as a mistress for two years. Bellegere gave him allegedly 3 bastard children.

Rhasha passed giving birth to a son whom Lady Alicia took in.

Barbara Bracken gave her husband a son named Aegor Rivers. 

Alongside having Barbara as a mistress he took in Melissa Blackwood whom gave the prince three bastard children.

Maya Rivers

Gwenys Rivers

Brynden Rivers

And then Barbara's younger sister Bethany Bracken, but she didn't give the prince any children for she was executed after her affair with a knight was found out.

Serenei of Lys was his 9th most remembered mistress whom died birthing a girl named Shiera Seastar.

Her husband was successful in having bastards as if to flaunt his seed being strong.

As if to humiliate her for her weak fertility for she had only been able to give him two children.

Prince Daeron Targaryen and Princess Daenerys Targaryen. 

Her little girl was born when she had turned 18 years old.

She was 20 years old when King Aegon III announced how his line of succession, much to her shock and hurt. 

For Prince Daeron, her younger brother was his heir, and then the rest of her younger siblings from Queen Daenaera were next in line and then their children. 

All the way in the bottom of the line was Princess Halae's children and then those of her two little sisters from Queen Consort Jaehaera. 

It angered her husband yes, but he decided he didn't need to be King when he had a bank in Lys in his ownership. As if he didn't force his younger brother to be the one to manage it.

Her father married off the 19 year old Princess Alae to a member of house Hightower,  Martyn Hightower, the younger brother of Lord Lyonel Hightower.

Martyn was 37 years old and already had been married before, his wife passing giving him two children. Whom were already 15 and 14 years old respectively.

A man a year older than him, her younger sister marrying a man old enough to be their father. 

And the 18 year old Princess Alyssa was married off to their  cousin Prince Aemon after he had been denied to become a kinsguard by her father when he had asked.

It seemed as if any affection wouldn't happen between Alyssa and Aemon, until she noticed the shy smile and gifts their cousin would give to his wife, her younger sister. 

How gentle he was with her.

She hated the envy she felt.

Her father passed when she was 30 years old, she had another failed labor, her husband off with a mistress when the news broke out.

She gave a weak smile during the ceremony as Prince Daeron became King Daeron I.

She eventually asked the 21 year old if he could anull her marriage with Aegon.

She was denied, her little brother had the blind faith that Aegon would eventually calm down and be a good husband.

How could he be a good husband when he's had almost 8 bastards and he only acknowledged 4 of them in Lys? She was suffering surely he saw that.

Even her younger siblings could see that.

It would seem as if her mother's girls were meant to be doomed except for sweet Alyssa.

For she, Halae was weak in the womb, only being able to give her cousin husband a son and daughter so quickly into the marriage before now a decade later all she has been able to produce was dead babe after dead babe.

Sweet Alae would either miscarry or have stillborn babes for half a decade into her marriage before finally having twin girls. Her husband, after being happy he had more children, finally decided to not try for more children with his young wife.

The idea was sweet, but her husband did nothing to prevent seed taking root in her womb and so every few months Alae would be in pain as she miscarried so soon into a new pregnancy. 

Alyssa though, was fortunate for her husband only visited her chambers once every few weeks to be intimate with his wife. Other times he'd go in to just be in her presence or for them to talk and such.

Three children were born from their union. Princess Daema, Prince Rhaenor, and Prince Aemmos.

They were doting parents.

Something Halae couldn't be with her two children for she was always tired and bedridden.

Even before then her father kept them busy before marrying off her Daeron and Daenerys to the prince and princess of Dorne and she had to stop her cries of anguish as her children were shipped off to be married for a political advantage as he rationalized it that they were old enough, that Daeron was going to be King and Daena was to be his Queen.

So she was left in court with just her ladies-in-waiting whom her husband would take as a mistress maybe.

She watched as her aunts daughters married her younger brothers.

Naerys was allowed to become a septa and she thrived in it.

Oh how she wished for that freedom, for her to be free from her husband.

She bared the humiliation of her husband having multiple mistresses from different noble houses and of him flaunting that his seed was strong when he got them pregnant.

The only thing keeping her happy was that Daeron I did not legitimize them even at his oldest cousin's begging.

Her brother kept encouraging Aegon to be a proper husband to her. 

It would just lead to another failed pregnancy or failed labor.

A decade into his reign and Daeron I was blind to the fact his eldest sister was suffering, sure he knew she had complications in childbirth, but he would just encourage his sister and cousin to keep trying. To give Daeron and Daenerys a sibling who could visit Dorne when older.

Despite his younger siblings half hearted attempts to chastise him for pushing their sister's health.

Sure they cared a little for her, but she was of the first queen their father had. Their father barely tolerated her, barely showed affection so they didn't know how to act with her. 

So at 41 years old the Princess Halae went back to the birthing bed, her body aching, her spirit fading more as she begged and prayed for this child to survive.

She prayed to the Seven when she knew her cousins and siblings prayed to the 14th, Rhaena and Baela made sure they knew the 14th Flames, but she felt closer to her mother when she prayed to the Seven.

Princess Halae was 41 namedays old as she passed from childbirth as she delivered her 18th child.

A stillborn boy.

Her husband just kept whoring around, not even pretending to mourn the woman he humiliated while her sisters wept and their half siblings mourned for a while.

She would never know the comfort in her heart that her children were being treated kindly in Dorne.

Chapter Text

King Viserys and Prince Daemon had a sister, Viserys's twin sister Princess Vissera whom Alyssa had named and had been delighted to have a girl.

The twins were married when they were 16 years old.

Prince Daemon, at 12 years old was betrothed to their cousin Lady Aemma Arryn who was 11 years old. They would not wed till Aemma was 16 namedays old, and they would not consummate the marriage till she was 18 years old.

They successfully had 3 children, Lady Rhaenyra, ser Baelor, and Ser Daellos

King Viserys and Queen Vissera sadly only had one living child. Princess Viana, the result of the Queen's 6th pregnancy when she was 20 namedays old. 

Daemon and Aemma behind closed doors would say that the reason for their bad fortune in pregnancy was due to Viserys bedding his sister too soon after each stillbirth or miscarriage. 

Their first child only lived for almost a month, and Viserys was back to his sister's bed to try again.

When Princess Viana was 8 years old, the 28 year old Queen Consort finally passed due to childbirth complications. 

The Lady Rhaenyra tried to comfort her cousin, only for her uncle to banish her small family for a reason even Ser Otto did not know.

It was due to the envy of Viserys felt for his brother for being able to marry their cousin Aemma for he had wanted her when they were younger. Except his grandfather forbid it.

He eventually declared Viana to be his heir much to her shock.

He would then marry Lady Alicent Hightower, his wife's lady-in-waiting.

But she too would just give him girls, 4 daughters.

Princess Aegara

Princess Helaena 

Princess Aemmanda

Princess Daera

His daughter would then be forced to marry Ser Laenor Valeryon due to him ruining a chance of a political marriage with himself and Laena.

She wed Laenor when she was 15 and he 20 years old.

Whispers reached the 16 year old Lady Rhaenyra that her 20 year old cousin Princess Viana had a brood of bastards. She had wanted to think they were rumors, false.

Until her betrothed Harwin Strong told her in private that they were true.

That her cousin's children were fathered by Ser Criston Cole.

She didn't want to believe it.

Till her family was called back to the Red Keep to welcome them back.

And indeed they were clearly bastards. 

They had Dornish coloring, nothing close to seem like they were from Laenor.

And even then her cousin did a horrible job keeping track since when she realized their times of conception, Laenor was always visiting her family. 

Even Queen Alicent was known not to bother her husband about the line of succession, for she had lost her fertility after Daera was born and by then Viserys was in ill health and done with asking for intimacy. 

And her husband turned a blind eye at the fact his daughter was a whore and passing dornish bastards as trueborn.

Whispers began to arise that surely his niece was a better pick to be heir.

For if a woman was to sit the throne it should be one who knew duty.

Her parents brushed rhem off, she ignored them for she did not want the throne.

Sure she was the heir to her aunt's seat at the vale but that was all.

She eventually had 7 children with Harwin, 5 boys and 2 girls.

Her younger cousins were married to other houses, Aegara married Laena's firstborn son, Helaena married a cousin of Rhaenyra's from her mother's side.

Aemmarys was married off to the Lord Baratheon. And Daera was married off to Otto's youngest nephew. 

There was the Driftmark Inheritance situation. 

She could feel the court secretly judge how her cousin kept weakly defending herself saying her children were trueborn.

Her cousin Laenor was nowhere when the thing was happening so she was shocked when her uncle came out to defend his daughter and declare her 2nd born Prince Daesor was Laenor's heir.

Even Princess Rhaenys seemed dissatisfied.

In the end the Dance did occur, but it was swift and not as bloody.

Queen Viana only ruled for half a year, and in that time her children disappeared after her coronation.

Ser Criston had left a letter admitting to the 1 ½  decade affair and took the 4 boys to Dorne. For he feared for their safety.

King Consort Laenor ran away with his lover a week after the coronation. 

Queen Viana heard the whispers that surely her cousin Lady Rhaenyra Strong nee Targaryen was better fit for the role. She was already the Lady of the Vale and had trueborn children with her husband.

She went mad with the whispers and would scream and cry from anguish telling everyone her children were stolen, that they were trueborn Valeryons.

Her younger sisters rarely visited for they feared for their lives and the small babes they had for they had sons while their Queen drained the treasury to find her sons.

Long story short the people of Kingslanding revolted and killed the Mad Queen that had begun to torture and kill the people at court whom were brave enough to declare her a whore and her sons bastards.

Lady Rhaenyra Strong was then sent a letter for her to be Queen Regnant.

In the end the 34 year old became the 2nd Queen Regnant of Westoris, with her King Consort Harwin.

Their children became Princes and princesses.

Chapter Text

Viserys at 18 years old very much ignored his grandparents when they told him to consumate his marriage with his cousin Aemma.

She was barely 13 and had just had her first moon blood. She still had some growing to do. He was a full 2 feet taller than her and she was far too thin.

He instead decided to have a mistress or two.

His first mistress was a Strong, one that was Harwin Strong's eldest aunt.

Her name was Hannah Strong. 

She was 19 years old and was Prince Viserys's mistress for 7 years.

The first year of their affair she gave prince Viserys an illegitimate son, with her black curls and the purple eyes.

He happily acknowledged his son much to the King's annoyance. 

Lady Hannah Strong was the official Royal Mistress for the prince. 

As she rested after the birth of his son and Aemma was 14 years old, the 19 year old took another mistress.

Lady Ava Bracken, she was 17 years old, well filled in her figure. She was his mistress for 6 years.

Only giving the prince 4 illegitimate daughters whom he did acknowledge and gave her money to care for them.

After the birth of his 4th daughter with Lady Ava is when he finally consummated his marriage with the 20 year old Lady Aemma Arryn, the Princess Consort for Viserys had been named heir.

Three months after bedding his wife, he was given the news she was with child. He was ecstatic and treated her as if she were made of glass, happy and delighted.

Although he did have her stay in Dragonstone for he didn't want her to be around when he began being again with his mistresses.

Although King Jehaerys did indeed tell her that being in Dragonstone would be good for her. 

Lady Hannah Strong was with child again during that time.

As was another mistress he took.

Lady Alicent Hightower whom was 15 years old and had been coached by her father to catch the prince's eye as if thinking she would be favored and Viserys could be persuaded to take another wife as his ancestor King Aegon I did.

The 25 year old Prince would keep her as a mistress for a year or two, marrying her off to a small elderly lord after she delivered a stillborn boy.

Lady Aemma delivered a healthy boy in Dragonstone.

Prince Aeros who looked very much like his mother the lady Aemma when he grew up.

Two months later Lady Hannah gave the prince twins, a boy and girl. 

As Aemma and Hannah rested, Prince Viserys took another mistress. 

Lady Alia Blackwood, she would be his mistress for 5 years. Giving Viserys 3 sons and 1 daughter.

When Aemma was 23 years old she delivered their 2nd son, Prince Aegon. The 28 year old King was delighted.

Aemma was allowed to rest for almost 2 years as Viserys went between mistresses before he went back to his wife and did their duty to bring forth a spare.

Which of course resulted in Prince Aegon.

Lady Alicent returned to court as a widow and was again taken as a mistress again after Prince Aegon was born.

Lady Alicent was the most frequently visited mistress by the prince for Lady Alia was with child again.

While Lady Alicent was his most frequented mistress, King Viserys gained another mistress.

Lady Ivara Florent, a maternal cousin of Lady Alicent.

She was the youngest of his mistresses.

The Lady Ivara was 14 years old when she became his mistress and would stay his mistress for a decade, being The Royal Mistress of King Viserys I.

Prince Viserys became King Viserys I when he turned 26 years old. His grandfather passing away in his sleep, but not before declaring that any bastard child from Viserys would never be legitimized. 

Which Viserys did agree with.

As King he only kept a total of close to 3 mistresses at a time.

The Royal Mistress Lady Ivara Florent. 

Lady Alicent Hightower 

And Lady Varya Valeryon, the daughter of Ser Corlys's brother.

In the decade of him finally consummating his marriage, him and Aemma had 6 children.

Prince Aeros, he was born when the queen was 20 or so.

Prince Aegon, born when his mother was 23 years old.

Princess Rhaenyra, both she and Daella were twins and born when their mother was 25 years old.

Princess Daella

Prince Daemos, him and Baelor were twins born when their mother was 29 years old.

Prince Baelor

The royal couple had a good line of succession, the Queen Consort was proud of the children she gave her husband and he content with them doing their duties he didn't seek her out for their marital duties after Prince Daemos and Baelor was born for he was content with his mistresses. 

Yes he loved his wife and showered her with affection, but he saw her as delicate so he prefered to seek her out when he wanted to just embrace her.

Lady Ivara Florent was married off once she was 24 years old to an old lord after King Viserys had broken off their affair. His Royal Mistress had given him 5 children during the decade of her as his mistress. Three boys and two girls.

The families of his previous mistresses didn't benefit much when the affair occurred, just a few coin every now and then. Perhaps some jewelry for the mistress to share.

Although, Lady Varya Valeryon was indeed the only one with a large dowry when she was married off. She gave the King one son.

Whispers said it was to ease Corlys's brother's anger of his daughter being a mistress. 

The only one that was never flaunted about during Aemma's pregnancies or between them, was Lady Alicent Hightower. 

She was pregnant 6 times in the time of being the prince then King's mistress, each pregnancy resulting in a stillborn child or a miscarriage. 

The court whispered that it was the tragic fate of the Hightowers. First King Maegor's Hightower Queen who faced fertility problems and now a mistress to a Targaryen King.

She would be sent away to become a septa after her final pregnancy led to a early delivery at 6 months.

King Viserys grew stout and due to his liking of feasts endulged too much so he became a heavy man. 

He didn't force his dear Aemma to do her wifely duties. He just visited her chambers to embrace her or to have a cuddle pile with their children.

All his ex mistresses were married off, the Lords not minding taking care of their wives bastards.

Although the Lord fathers of said mistresses would internally be angry at how things ended.

For their bastard grandchildren would never be legitimized. 

However, Queen Aemma would at least help them get education as best she could as she run many charities that her grandmother did.

In the end King Viserys I had 6 legitimate children with his Queen Aemma.

And 17 bastards that were acknowledged, but never legitimized. 

Later on King Aaros I would have his bastard siblings be married off to different houses or become septas, maesters or members of the kingsguard.

Chapter Text

Rhaenyra Stone was the bastard daughter of King Viserys I and of Lady Aemma Arryn that was born from one night of passion.

Some say passion, others say that the 20 year old Prince had harassed the poor 15 year old Lady Aemma for months as she was her cousin, Princess Consort Rhea Royce's lady-in-waiting, till she finally gave into him.

Lady Rhaenyra Stone was the only child resulting of that night, and Princess Rhea had been able to have her grandfather-in-law marry off her cousin to a cousin of Lord Strong whom didn't mind that his new wife already had a child out of wedlock. He already had his own children, six of them. They ranged from 10 years old to 4 years old and Aemma at least had help in taking care of her step children while she took care of her own daughter.

The court said Princess Consort Rhea was insulted that her husband would bed her cousin, even though the Princess Consort was older than her cousin by a year, the princess consort had yet to give the Prince a child for she had already had 2 stillbirths and a miscarriage before her 15th nameday.

Lady Rhaenyra Stone is 15 years old when Queen Rhea Royce passes away due to childbed fever. She had delivered stillborn twins and began to have a fever soon afterwards.

Lady Aemma Strong nee Arryn and the rest of the Strong family were at court so they attend the funeral of the Queen.

Prince Daemon burns the pyre that held his ex betrothed and the twin boys she had brought to the world that held no breath.

His wife the Princess Gael and their three children beside him.

The King mourned for close to two years for his council tried to quickly marry him off, but he angrily told them that he wanted to wait.

When Lady Rhaenyra Stone was 18 years old, the 38 year old King married Lady Alicent Hightower whom was 18 years old.

Yes there was some anger, mostly Lord Corlys for he wanted to betroth his daughter the Lady Laena Valyeron to the King to at least have a piece of Rhaenys sit on the throne for he wanted to right the wrong that was done to his dear wife the Princess Rhaenys.

Whispers were around of Lady Alicent being the King's mistress, but that wouldn't be possible, the girl had left Kingslanding for three years, one year before Queen Rhea's passing and returned two years after her death only for the same month she arrived the king announced his intention to marry the young Hightower.

Yes Otto Hightower had planned this, if it hadn't been for Queen Rhea to marry off the 14 year old Lady Alicent to a cousin of hers at the Vale. He had been angered and not much could be done.

So yes he was saddened his daughter became a widow with no children, but she was still young.

Prince Aegon was born two years after his parents marriage.

Lady Rhaenyra was 20 years old, already having married her step cousin Harwin Strong for he had fallen for her and she him when they were younger and she had already given him 4 children before she reached her 20th nameday.

Jaecerys, Lucaerys, Daellos, and Aemma Strong.

Lady Rhaenyra Strong nee Stone and her husband had been at Dragonstone due to being invited to court by the King, for Viserys was distant with his illegitimate daughter, but he did want her close. Although, he did want Lady Aemma to return as well, but decided against it.

No one at court understood why the Queen Consort, Alicent, was weary of the Lady Rhaenyra. For she was a bastard and never legitimized due to King Jaehaerys I ordering for it to not be done.

Even her father was weary of her being hostile to the wife of the heir to Harrenhal. 

Yes she was a bastard, but she was still the wife of the heir of Harrenhal.

But she was no threat to Prince Aegon at all.

Two decades later though, Queen Alicent is horrified to learn that King Viserys added Rhaenyra's children to the line of succession.

Although they were very much down of it, Otto reassured the realm would follow the firstborn son of the king and not his legitimized grandson from his bastard son.

Half a decade later Dowager Queen Alicent is horrified when she hears King Aegon II make Ser Jacearys Strong, heir to Harrenhal become his heir.

For King Aegon II had lost his sister wife Helaena the battle of childbirth and wished to not remarry again.

Aemond had become a maester

And Daeron had passed due to an illness when he was 10 years old.

And Prince Daemon did not want his children to sit on the throne, for they found peace with his aunt Saera.

Lady Rhaenyra Stone may have been a bastard, but she was a mother and grandmother of Kings and Queens.

Chapter Text

The realm were a little surprised when Crown Princess Rhaenyra had declared her brother, Prince Aegon, would be her heir once her betrothal with Ser Laenor Valeryon had been announced.

Many of the Hightowers allies knew it was because the future Prince Consort prefered the company of men and would never give the princess an heir.

In the privacy of her chambers, Queen Alicent murmered to her father that it was likely Rhaenyra did not want children out of fear of ending up like her mother.

The only way anyone was positive for the marriage being consumated was the drunken giggles between the newlyweds the night they wed.

Although, Prince Consort Laenor left Kingslanding just 4 months after the wedding, and returned 3 months later to celebrate his wife's 17th nameday. There was much drinking, between wife and husband and teasing as if friends, but the guards posted outside their chambers could hear the slight gasps and moans of pleasure from both of them.

The court would glance at the princess's flat belly, and see that she had yet to be with child, for it was well known the married couple only bedded twice during the marriage.

First the night they wed and then 7 months later when it was the celebration of the princess's 17th nameday.

Although some guards would say that it was once a month when the princess and her husband would bed each other, and that was after a night of drinking themselves stupid.

Five months passed after Princess Rhaenyra's 17th nameday when it happened.

She was trying to make Otto see reason that she should be able to see her brother, for he was her heir as well as brother, she wanted to spend time with him when the pain began.

Otto was a little confused as the princess groaned of an ache in her lower stomach.

He was more shocked and a bit terrified as liquid dripped into the floor as the princess groaned in pain.

He had called for help, for midwives that were still around the Red Keep for Queen Alicent had just given birth to Prince Daeron not even a few days ago.

The court was shocked to hear the princess's screams of labor as she protested that she couldn't be pregnant or in labor for her moon blood had just passed not even a week ago.

She delivered twin boys. Both of whom had their father's skin tone and their mother's hair.

And the late Queen Aemma's eyes.

Princess Rhaenys had been shocked as she and Lord Corlys had stayed at the Red Keep to visit the princess.

Prince Jacaerys Valeryon was the heir to Driftmark, and Prince Lucerys Valeryon was the spare.

Even Prince Consort Laenor was shocked and known to weep when he learned that he had children.

A midwife answered the lingering question that sometimes a mother's body does not know that they are with child and that this could happen. Much to the shock of the princess and her husband.

Three years later the princess delivers another set of twins in Driftmark much to the shock and then later amusement of Lord Corlys and his wife.

Prince Baelon and Princess Aemma.

The princess still assured her old friend Alicent that Aegon was still her heir.

No one knew the lengths Lady Laena and Prince Daemon went through for Prince Jacaerys to become his uncle Aegon's heir after his wife Lady Arice Lannister whom was to be his future Queen Consort had 6 failed pregnancies and then passed away delivering a baby girl that was then betrothed to Jacaerys and Lady Baela Targaryen's firstborn son.

The silent sabotage and strings pulled for Alicent's children to pass, except Princess Helaena who happily was allowed to become a septa.

King Jacaerys I became King after his mother passed at the age of 50 years old after she became ill. 

No need for Dowager Queen Alicent's spawn to be king when he passed years before Queen Rhaenyra did.

Princess Nearys healthily delivered her and her brother husband's first child in the end of 153 A.C,  a year into their marriage.

A little girl, Princess Daera Targaryen. Named after their younger cousin Prince Daeron.

Prince Aegon was indifferent about their daughter, he already had illegitimate daughters with a few of his mistresses.

Although, he did acknowledge her and would be warm to his daughter once she survived the craddle.

Princess Nearys was relieved of the mistresses her husband had since she knew he was a man who only wanted to bed women constantly. 

Yes she was a bit humiliated, but as long as her husband didn't father a male bastard on them she was safe.

When Princess Daera was 8 years old, when Baelor was King, Nearys successfully delivered a set of twin girls.

Princess Rhaena and Princess Nyra born in 161 A.C.

Rhaena had a purple eye and a blue eye while Nyra had soft lilac eyes.

A decade later, when Princess Daera was 19 years old and Princesses Rhaena and Nyra were 11 years old, on 172 A.C was when her second set of twins were born.

Another set of girls.

Much to their confusion one of the girls had dark brown hair. 

King Aegon was confused till he was reminded that his paternal great grandmother was an Arryn and his older uncles had dark brown hair.

The girls were named Aemma and Daenerys. Aemma being the one with brown hair.

As much as King Aegon was a lustful man and showed favor greatly, he wasn't a horrible father for he spoiled his legitimate daughters while just barely acknowledging his bastard daughters.

What use was it for him to show favor to a mistress when each one just gave him daughters? 

He married off his mistresses once he tired of them and stopped sending money to care for his bastards.

Sure Princess Daena the Defiant had a bastard son, but rumors swirled that she had snuck to her ex husband, King Baelor's chambers and bedded the man in a moment of weakness from him.

That her Daemon was the true heir.

Either way Aegon was just waiting to have his own son before he decided things on the line of succession. 

In 184 A.C was when Queen Consort Naerys finally delivered her last babe and daughter.

A little girl named Daella.

Much to the distress of her daughters, Queen Naerys soon passed a week later due to her getting a fever and not getting better despite the Maesters trying to help.

King Aegon held a funeral for his sister wife and commissioned for many paintings of her to be made as well with those including their daughters.

Yes he kept mistresses, but he never remarried.

His eldest daughter married a prince from Dorne, and Daenerys was betrothed to the prince's younger brother and would be sent over once she was 15 years old.

Once he passed the line of succession had already been set that Daemon Waters, now Daemon Targaryen was to be the heir.

The 14 year old decided instead to crown his mother, Princess Daena Targaryen, daughter of King Aegon III and Queen Daenaera as Queen Regnant for he declared she was usurped.

He decided to let his cousins be his heirs till he had his own, for his mother Queen Daena had never married and so he had no siblings, although he did have cousins from his aunts. 

His eldest cousin Princess Daera did not mind this, and agreed for her sister, Princess Aemma to be betrothed to him.

Chapter Text

Crown Princess Rhaenyra at 14 years old was internally happy when her father informed her that his marriage with the 15 year old Lady Alicent would be that of companionship, that he would not bed Alicent at all and the marriage benefitted her Ali for she would finally be free from her father.

For Otto Hightower was sent back to Oldtown after the wedding for reasons being as to not show favor to the Hightowers.

Rhaenyra was then betrothed to Ser Laenor which she did not mind, they could try their best to do their duty, they didn't marry till she was 16 years old and Laenor was 20 years old. 

It was two years after his remarriage with the Lady Alicent when Queen Consort Alicent became pregnant and delivered a healthy baby boy.

The King was overjoyed for the boy.

The court, however, weren't sure how to react.

The prince was born with curly brown hair, not the same shade as of that of the Queen Consort, nor did the babe have the Targaryen purple eyes. His eyes were brown.

He has a pug nose.

None of the Targaryen looks nor any similarities with the King nor the Crown Princess.

The King adored the child of course, so did the Princess.

The boy's name was Aeros.

A year and a half later the Queen Consort delivered a healthy baby girl.

She too had unruly curly dark brown hair and brown eyes.

The court as well held their tongue. 

For surely the babes just took after their mother.

The babe's name was Helaena. 

Around that time was when Crown Princess Rhaenyra wed Ser Laenor Valeryon. 

It took almost a year before the Princess got with child since it was known that the prince consort would rarely visit his wife's chambers.

The court spoke that perhaps the babe would have their paternal grandmother's Baratheon looks or the Arryn eyes or hair.

Nine months later Princess Rhaenyra delivered a healthy boy with snow pale skin and with curly platinum hair the same shade as his father's. 

Although, the boy did have the Valeryon birth mark on his neck.

Prince Jacearys Valeryon. 

The court whispered. 

A trueborn child from the heir.

A true Targaryen unlike those of the Queen Alicent.

Back in Oldtown, Otto raged and trashed every letter sent to him, for how could his daughter be stupid as to take a lover. 

A year later at 18 years old the Princess delivered another son.

Prince Lucaerys Valeryon, the heir to Driftmark. 

A month after his birth was that of Prince Aems, the Queen Consort's 3rd son. This son, too had the dark brown hair and brown eyes, but unlike his eldest brother and sister he would look more like Queen Alicent as he grew older.

To have one child like that is a mistake. To have three is an insult.

Whispers followed those children of course, King Viserys ignored it and Princess Rhaenyra was too busy with her duties as heir and as a mother as to help her old friend out.

Prince Daemon laughed about it with Lady Laena when he read the letters.

Ser Harwin Strong was Queen Alicent's only companion as he was her personal guard. She didn't have any companions, only 3 lady-in-waitings.

The King turned a blind eye, Princess Rhaenyra adored her siblings.

The Greens slowly pulled away supporting the Hightowers.

For why would they support a bastard that had no drop of Targaryen blood?

Some did try to say surely Prince Aeros was the rightful heir, but they couldn't turn a blind eye that as the princes and princess grew up their appearance was similar to a certain guard of the Queen's. 

Princess Rhaenyra delivered twins Aemma and Joffrey when she was 20 years old, and a month before that Queen Consort Alicent had delivered her 3rd son. Prince Daeron.

The words of bastardy would follow the Queen Consort's children through their childhood.
