110 AC. 4 years after King Viserys marriage to Queen Alicent
The night was cold, a storm raging outside the castle, its winds seemed to shake the very foundation of the huge castle.
The King was awakened, as was the Queen who was sleeping right next to him
"Your grace, a noble lady has died in childbirth tonight", the guard whispered. Viserys grumbled, with the sleeve of his nightshift he rubbed his face, trying to shake sleep away from him
"That is unfortunate Ser Harrold, but I truly doubt that is a reason to wake up the King!", he said
"It was the daughter of Lord Stokeworth, your grace", he whispered, but Viserys still couldn't understand what he meant
"What is it, Ser Harrold?", Alicent asked
"The babe, your Grace, was born with Targaryen features, and the Lady's mother had confirmed it... the babe is your niece". Viserys then finally understood it, jumping form the bed and dressing quickly in a robe
"How could you let this happen?", he barked at Ser Harrold
"You had forbidden them from seeing each other, but he did not listen, they must have been using the secret passageways". Viserys had betrothed his brother to a Baratheon girl, but apparently, he was in love with someone else, this young woman from House Stokeworth
"I understand", he grumbled
Ser Harrold guided the King through the corridors of the Red Keep, Alicent soon followed. They walked towards the chambers of members of the court, and from outside of one of the rooms, they could hear the wailings of a newborn baby
"A girl you say?", Lord Westerling only nodded. Otto Hightower, the Hand of the King met them there
"Your grace I have been briefed on what happened", he said efficiently
Viserys nodded, and entered the room
A Midwife and a Septa were both there, calming the babe and placing her in her crib from them to see, and they bowed as they saw him. The king and queen walked until they leaned in, to watch the babe, she had the silver hair of the Targaryen family, from old Valyria
"She is a bastard your grace, we can take her to the Septas, or the silent sisters"
"She is not a bastard!", the King whispered, "she is my brother's child"
