  Thrid Person POV

  Essos, 296 AC.

  ---------------------------------------

  Jon woke up the m, calmly staring at the ceiling of his room while his wife y naked on his chest, having tried to relieve him of some of his worries. Despite feeling satisfied with her attempt to fort him, a part of his mind still lingered on Rhaenys.

  He stayed there for a while, watg Rhaenys through Ghost's eyes, who hadn't taken his gaze off her while the girl had finally fallen asleep after staying awake for several hours.

  Journed his attention to Ygritte, gently stroking her head.

  "Hm..." The redhead's soft moan was heard shortly after as Ygritte looked at him, yawning sleepily.

  "Good m." Jon gave a soft, closed-lip smile.

  "Good m... How is she?" Ygritte asked, knowing that Jon hadn't been fully present with her the previous night. Though she felt slightly dissatisfied, she still uood why he was in that state.

  "She was deep in thought for a long time, and looked sad... but she's fine now, just falling asleep without any more plications." Jon replied.

  "I see... Are you going to talk to her?" she asked.

  "I think it's best not tht now, which is why I'll ask Daenerys to do it..." he said finally, staying there a little longer before he and Ygritte got up to dress ao breakfast.

  Jon then walked to the dining area where his family usually ate and found the trio that had formed i weeks—Arya, Wind, and Daenerys.

  "Jon." Arya smiled as she saw the royal guards open the doors for him.

  "Hello, Arya." Jon said with a small smile before turning to his aunt.

  "Daenerys... could you e talk to me?" he asked, catg the ptinum-haired woman by surprise as she stood up from the table, following Jon to a nearby er for a private versation.

  "Rhaenys didn't take the hat Jon is her brother very well?" Arya noticed and asked Ygritte, sitting down with them at that moment.

  "It's a bit plicated... you know, Jon told her everything, and acc to him, she almost had a breakdown because of it... but Jon mao stabilize things, and now he's unsure of what to do... especially with his third child at stake," Ygritte expined.

  "She must hate Aunt Lyanna, right?" Arya asked as Wind remained silent, watg the versatioweewo women and Jon, who was expining the situation to Daenerys, who listetentively.

  "Acc to Jon, yes... Rhaenys isn't handling the fact that her mother was cast aside by her husband very well." Ygritte responded.

  "I see... but I believe Daenerys help, don't you, Jon?" Arya said to her cousin, roached the table aloer leaving Daenerys to go keep Rhaenys pany that m. The girl, though full of questions, nodded a with the guards, as some Arti women brought a fruit-filled meal to apany Daenerys.

  "I hope so... maybe seeing another retive will help her clear her head before talking to us again and discussing the future." Jon said, sitting at the head of the table, as he always did.

  "Do you want to marry her?" Arya asked.

  "Yes... and I hope so, after all, my child will not be a bastard." Jon answered.

  "Do you love her?" Wind asked this time, curious.

  "Marriages aren't just built on passion and desire... Although I may have that with my queens, respect is the most important thing in a marriage, and I hope to have that with Rhaenys, Wind." Jon replied, not revealing his true feelings for Rhaenys.

  "Jon's right," Ygritte said. "And I don't know if I accept someone who won't have that with Jon or even my te mother-in-w." Ygritte added, never hiding the fact that she wouldn't accept Rhaenys if she were disrespectful, though she could somewhat uand her.

  As they began to eat in silence, Daenerys made her way to Jon's official chamber, where Rhaenys had been sihe previous day. She was surprised after hearing Jon's situation. Even though she wao tialking with her niece ever since she arrived, she hadn't seen her or Jon after they went to talk privately.

  When she asked Ygritte as soon as she saw her, she heard from the Arti queen that Rhaenys had an issue due to her pregnancy, and Jon was taking care of her. The fact that Rhaenys was carrying her own nephew's child left Daenerys with many questions since she had learhat Jon was the father, which was quite startling for her.

  Daenerys didn't feel any aversion towards Jon and Rhaenys. Years ago, she used to think her role was to marry Viserys when she became an adult and they would take back Westeros together, though now she would never accept that. What surprised her was how things had developed. Rhaenys had shown up almost ready to give birth, and she didn't eveo know who Jon truly was. Acc to him, she had only found out retly, so Daenerys assumed he didn't know when he first met Rhaenys.

  She didn't ask Jon many questions, but she could tell there was genuine in his tone, even though he didn't say it in so many words. He had asked her to keep his niepany this m and talk with her. Daenerys had agreed without much resistance, intending to satisfy her own curiosity by speaking to Rhaenys directly.

  The royal guards apanied her to the door as she ehe room, with Rhaenys lifting her head to see who it was. She had already woken up, which was why Jon had asked Daenerys to visit her.

  Rhaenys was surprised. She had holy expected Jon, not her aunt. Another Arti woman brought in some baskets of fruit, pg them by the bedside and nodding to Rhaenys before leaving. The guards closed the doors, leaving just the two of them in the room, with Daenerys standing in the middle, her gaze briefly shifting to the direwolf sitting in the room before turning back to Rhaenys.

  "Rhaenys, niece..." Daenerys murmured, looking at the girl, eared a bit apathetid had the face of someone who had cried a lot.

  "Aunt Daenerys..." Rhaenys murmured.

  "Please... just call me Dany." Daenerys approached the bed, going to the chair Jon had used yesterday while pig up a fruit from the baskets left there.

  "I'm here to eat with you, take this, you look like you ..." Daenerys murmured, handing an apple to Rhaenys.

  "Thank you... Dany," she murmured, looking at the apple before turning back to her aunt. "Where is Jon?" she asked.

  "He's eating with the others. But he asked me to e here... he seemed very worried about you, though he tries to act tough," Daenerys murmured, and Rhaenys couldn't help but give a quick, small smile at the ent.

  "When did you know he was your nephew?" she asked Daenerys, still looking at the apple.

  "He found me ios and handed me a letter... so it retty straightforward..." Daenerys still remembered the events of st week.

  "And you believed him?" Rhaenys asked.

  "I found it all very strange... but he was so different from what my brother had told me, areated me so well... Even though I didn't know him well, having only seen him ond heard a few of his words, a part of me wao believe that my brother and I weren't the only Targaryens out there... Especially when my brother had been growing more and mgressive..." she murmured at the st part.

  "Viserys... what did he do?" Rhaenys asked, looking at Dany with curiosity.

  "He started hitting me... the night before I met Jon... He beat me..." Daenerys murmured in a sad tone as Rhaenys raised an eyebrow.

  "Why did he do that?!" Rhaenys murmured in surprise.

  "He started hitting me i few weeks... not just that, he began saying absurd things... At the time, I didn't fully uand, but now I realize my brother was starting to lose his mind. Then I met Arya Stark... a younger girl, so different from me, to the point where I got jealous of her..." Daenerys admitted while eating a grape, with Rhaenys paying full attention to her, notig Daenerys smile.

  "I think Arya ut there on purpose; after all, she found me, and Jo after her iionally, though Jon will never admit that..." Daenerys cluded.

  "But he's your brother..." Rhaenys still wao uand more about her uncle and his apparent insanity.

  "Well... it's like Jon told me, he is the son of our father..." she murmured.

  "The Mad King's daughter..." Rhaenys murmured.

  "Yes... Jon warned me about a few things iter, saying he had only known for two moons that he was the son of my te brother... He said we would meet again, and he wa me with him, but the decision was mine. My brother... made up a pn to take me to a Khal in the desert ruled by the Dothraki te a marriage... He beat me again and said vile things... then Jon arrived and stormed the camp... I had to make a choice between my brother and my supposed nephew, so I chose Jon..." she murmured, eating another piece of fruit after a pause.

  "I see, so your brother was left behind..." Rhaenys murmured.

  "Yes... I don't know where he is or what he's doing after Jo him... Jon spared him after I begged him while I was terrified... I hope he's okay, but I never want to see him again..." Daenerys murmured.

  "I didn't know you had so many troubles..." Rhaenys ented, and Daenerys smiled at her.

  "Not too many, aside from having to flee Dragonstone when I was born and my mother died, or even when Ser Willem Darry died and we had to live as beggars and run from the Usurper's assassins... And when I thought we'd finally found a safe pce, our host ios was only using us... My life has been full of dangers..." Daenerys murmured in a sad tohen she gave a small smile to Rhaenys again. "But I'm finally seeing that my life isn't just misery... After all, Jon came for me, and even though I always looked suspiciously at all this, which came so suddenly... Jos me like his family, and here everyone respects me as a princess..." Daenerys murmured. After all, there was no doubt about anything she requested; everyone did their best to meet her needs, and everyoreated her with respect. She had grown aced to living with these people ever since she boarded this ship.

  "..." Rhaenys remained silent for a moment befiving a small smile as well. "Are they kneeling for you too?" she asked, adding a bit of humor while speaking to her aunt.

  But Daenerys shook her head. "Artis don't kneel for anyone, not even Jon," Daenerys remarked.

  "I heard about some things in Dorne..." Rhaenys murmured.

  "..." Daenerys fell silent after that, not knowing how to tinue.

  "..." Rhaenys also lost her smile, and an awkward silence hung in the air, but Daenerys decided to break it by gng at Rhaenys' swollen belly.

  "How did this happen... like... you and Jon..." she asked.

  "I..." Rhaenys didn't know how to start at first, but she decided to tell the truth.

  "I met Jon during his visit to the Martells... It was strange, but as soon as our eyes met after some otion caused by my uncle... I felt an immediate e with him. It was a feeling hard to expin... but we were there, and over the few days, as he iated, we exged looks. There was a certain passion and tensioween us, maybe it's our blood, but we kept looking at each other and talking when we could... then we fought..." Rhaenys found herself ughing at the small argument they had, not speaking to each other for days afterward, while Daenerys listened, lost in her own thoughts about it.

  "We were just staring at each other... then I didn't know why, but I felt devastated by it, just looking at Jon... so I asked him to meet me... we were alone ier Gardens, and I ended up giving myself to him... I gave him my virginity... something that should have been for my future husband..." she murmured.

  "..." Daenerys remained silent; Rhaenys seemed to be in a small internal flict.

  "Do you love him? I mean, as a lover?" Even though Daenerys had no experieh that, she still asked.

  "I... yes, I love him and desire him, but isn't that wrong... I discovered that my father simply abandoned us to be with the Stark woman... I feel betrayed... and I know Jon isn't to bme for it... but I still feel bad... He is the son of the woman who made my father abandon me... abandon my mother and my brother, who died like animals in the Red Keep..." Rhaenys said as tears began to flow from her eyes.

  Her feelings about everything she'd thought about throughout the night had left her fused, even having a bit of aential crisis.

  Her hand was touched at that moment as Daenerys soled her. "I know it hasn't been easy... maybe I'm not the best person to say this... but tell me... do we have allies ieros, willing to start a war to put us ba the Iron Throne?" Daenerys asked, squeezing her hand.

  "That... no... no one would be willing to fight for us uhey gained something very valuable, whether it be a position or a marriage... but even then, it wouldn't be enough to take down everyone who would fight against us... My uncle believed we could do it by strategically pying the game of throo have a ce at taking pain... but I don't think he could have do that way, and he wao use Jon... He saw a real ce with him, and he wao use me and my child." She murmured.

  "That's sad..." Daenerys murmured at the st part and then tio plete her thought. "You know... I always heard from my brother's mouth that Westeros was waiting for us with open arms, eager to receive us and cim Viserys as king, while the current king tried to sileny call for the Targaryens by the on people..." she murmured befiving a sad ugh. "After talking to a few people and learning more about Westeros, I realize that all of that was Viserys' delusion... we were never expected. In fact, we were never sought out by anyone except those who wao use us... or tried to kill us for the Usurper's gold..." Daenerys murmured.

  "That's true..." Rhaenys admitted.

  "So this just proves that we were already being targeted for usurpation, even by our supposed allies who should have been at the Battle of the Trident... like the Tyrells, who decided to stay at Storm's End with 50,000 men to y siege to 500..." Daenerys said, recalling the lessons about Robert Baratheon's rebellion, which had shocked her greatly when she began to uand the mistakes and possible betrayals by those who should have beeargaryen family's allies.

  "..." Rhaenys said nothing, but her fist ched at that.

  "I'm saying that it would have happened one way or another... Jon knows much more about the details. I've heard that even the maesters were major pyers in this and that they were secretly weakening our family... and there were many more people w behind the ses to create the war. The case of Lyanna Stark just sped up the process..." Daenerys murmured.

  "They did...?" Rhaenys asked in a quiet voice.

  "What I mean by this, Rhaenys, my niece, is that maybe we shouldn't just be dwelling on the past... You must look toward the future. We are survivors with a tragic past, and I'm not asking you tet our dead family... but we must take advantage of the opportunities life has given us. You know... I don't know what Rhaegar was thinking when he called off the marriage with your mother, but he knew his son would be a miracle... and Jon is! Have you seen what he do? It's unbelievable, and I wouldn't believe in magic if I hadn't seen what I've seen... Jon was born for a reason, niece, he is a miracle, and we're lucky to have him as our family..." Daenerys murmured. She had already accepted Jon, and her ret dreams of the future had made her feel more ected to this.

  "..." Rhaenys didn't say anything, but she began tain, feeling guilty—guilty for almost bming Jon for her life being hidden away in Dorne. "I know..." she murmured in a tearful voice.

  "The Artis don't speak much about it, but I've heard some dark things... something is ing from the north... beyond Artica. They mention it as the end of the world... I've tried to ask, but none of them seem authorized to speak about it... And I've heard many of them say that Jon was born and created Artica for that purpose, for a war greater than any other in the north..." Daenerys ented as she watched Rhaenys tio cry. "So Joo have some purpose in this world, given by the gods themselves..." she added. Daenerys had never beeo express her thoughts much, but she found herself, over the past week, being praised for her ability to guide a versation, notig details that almost no one else could and using them to her advantage.

  Jon had said she had a gift for oratory, and that her on might not be a bow like Ygritte's or the family sword in Arya Stark's hands, but her words—and that they could be just as deadly as either.

  "I think you're right..." Rhaenys murmured, abs her aunt's words. She knew she should talk to Jon after all, but nht now. She wao stay a little longer with the woman of pure Targaryen appearance.

  "You've spent some time here... Have they described what Artica is like?" In the end, Rhaenys wiped her tears and wao talk about something lighter, curious to know about the mysterious kingdom Jon had said he would take her to.

  "Yes... I know everything about the pow, and I've also seen it once..." Daenerys murmured.

  "Seen it? But you just left Pentos, didn't you?" Rhaenys looked fused.

  "Yes... but I saw it in a dream... a dream of the future..." Daenerys murmured, a little shy about saying such things.

  "A dream of the future?" Rhaenys murmured.

  "Jon says I might be like Daenys the Dreamer. I've had two dreams about the future, where I was in Artica..." she began, while Rhaenys waited for her to tinue.

  "I dreamed of a magnifit city... with a giant tree in the middle of it... I dreamed ons and dreamed of children... maybe my three children..." Daenerys murmured, l her head.

  "Wait... dragons? Children...?" Rhaenys murmured, her voice faltering as she heard this.

  "Yes... there are dragons in Artica, Rhaenys. It seems Jon hasn't told you, but Jon has dragons, and the birth of his first two children caused 12 or 13 eggs that Jon took from the Citadel to hatch... The dragons have returned, Rhaenys... the symbol of our house, and now they are in the North. I'm excited to see them for the first time," Daenerys said, a gleam in her violet eyes.

  "..." Rhaenys was quite shaken by this, thinking about the fact that Jon had dragons—one of her greatest desires in life.

  "It's a pity we won't be able to see them anytime soon, as we're headi... Jon pns to return to Artica after he finishes his jouro distant nds... but that's also good... after all, I get to know him better..." Daenerys murmured, thinking about her dream.

  "..." Rhaenys listened in silend could see the spark in Daenerys. Perhaps her aunt wasn't as i as she had imagined. Not that she wasn't aware of how a woman could prematurely discover the power she held over men.

  "Thank you..." In the end, Rhaenys thanked Daenerys for her pany and words.

  "Hm? What? Of course, you don't o thank me; after all, we are family. Now we have each other, Jon, and his children. We must stay united, Rhaenys..." Daenerys said with more fidehan she had had over the past three weeks, after learning tinuously from her teachers who had highlighted her abilities.

  "Thank you... truly... aunt." Rhaenys murmured, giving a genuine smile and looking at her aunt before being nervous again, as she still had unfinished business with the man she loved. " you call Jon? I want to speak with him," she asked.

  Daenerys smiled as she ate her st grape and nodded. "Of course, I'll be right back," she said, starting to leave, while Rhaenys stayed in bed, finishing some more fruit as she waited for Jon, her brother.
